# Chicago Commissioner Pleads With UN To Deploy Foreign Troops On US Soil

Under the guise of stopping violent crime, a County Commissioner in Cook County, Illinois, went to New York City late last week to request that the United Nations deploy foreign troops in Chicago to tackle the city’s “quiet genocide.”

Perhaps, the geopolitical instability on the Korean Penisula and in the Middle East is just one giant distraction. The real action is currently unfolding in America’s out of control inner cities, such as Chicago. There is a pattern emerging across the United States, where inner cities such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Oakland, Mephesis, and St. Louis are experiencing out of control violent crime with local officials paralyzed.

Earlier this year, President Trump threatened Chicago with sending in the Feds, after crime statistics warned of an alarming surge in violent crime.

> If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

> — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2017

Some politicians in Chicago have recommended deploying the National Guard to aid in combating gun violence, but Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin went straight to the United Nations last week and pleaded with Oscar Fernandez-Taranco of Argentina, the U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for deployement of foreign troops on United States soil. Boykin is seeking international assistance with “horrific levels of shootings” and violent crime mainly on the West Side and South Side communities.

Boykin said at O’Hare International Airport on Thursday, “I’m hoping to appeal to the U.N. to actually come to Chicago and meet with victims of violence, and maybe even possibly help out in terms of peacekeeping efforts, because I think it’s so critical for us to make sure that these neighborhoods are safe.”

Boykin told Inc. before his meeting, “the United Nations has a track record of protecting minority populations. There was tribal warfare between the Tutsis and the Hutus in Africa, and they deployed peacekeeping troops there to help save those populations and reduce the bloodshed.”

> “We have to do something — black people in Chicago make up 30 percent of the population but 80 percent of those who are killed by gun violence,” he added.

Throughout 2017, President Trump has been fairly vocal about the carnage in Chicago. Last week, he addressed FBI grads in Quantico, Virginia, and asked one simple question: “What The Hell Is Going On In Chicago?” (See: “What The Hell Is Going On In Chicago” And Other Highlights From Trump’s Speech To FBI Grads)

> Trump on the rise in violent crime: "What the hell is going on in Chicago, what the hell is happening there?" pic.twitter.com/mGrSGbHudo

> — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) December 15, 2017

Courtesy of stats from HeyJackAss!, here’s a quick recap of “what the hell is going on in Chicago.” In aggregate, 3,451 people have been shot so far in 2017, or roughly 1 person every 2.4 hours, and 651 have died from there injuries.

Per the chart below, the violent crime is a persistent cloud over the city of Chicago with shootings and murders happening on a daily occurrence.

Meanwhile, this long-term chart shows why Boykin has met with the United States for the assistance of foreign troops to occupy Chicago. It’s the sheer velocity in homicides in recent years which has local officials frightened.

And lastly, “we can’t wait until the mayor comes up with another 1,000 police to try to make the streets safer. Quite frankly, the people want to be safe right now in their homes and their neighborhoods, and we want to make sure that they’re safe,” Boykin said.

Meanwhile in Maryland, just outside the hellhole which is known as Baltimore, an entire unit of heavily armed United Nations vehicles sits behind a mysterious Kellogg Cereal Plant (as of September 2017).

The US (MIC) pretty much always finances both sides.

gladih8r Fish Gone Bad Dec 17, 2017 5:56 PM

They should ban gun violence and gun ownership in Chicago one more time....but only for the law abiding species.

Maybe this time it will work.

Ex-Oligarch Citxmech Dec 17, 2017 6:22 PM

Gosh.

Too bad Chicago doesn't have any cops.
Obviously they need to establish a police department.

I guess they didn't think they needed any law enforcement what with the gun control laws keeping everyone safe, and the small and declining population of violent Christian white males.

But if the commissioner says they need to bring in some peace-loving Rwandan and Bangladeshi soldiers armed with appropriately heavy materiel to protect the vulnerable minority population from racist oppression, well, I suppose it's all for the best.

UN military? You mean the Bangladeshi troops? Oh, yes, they will patrol the streets of Chicago, will not join the looters but establish peace and order, and then hand over the city back to the Mayor.

And then you can buy all the bridges in Chicago.

An official or citizen inviting foreign troops is treason anywhere in the world except Antarctica and Chicago.

According to Wikipedia "Genocide is intentional action to destroy a people in whole or in part". Suicide would be a more appropriate term.

Wielding machetes, Rwandans killed people faster than the einsatzgruppen. It would be a mistake to underestimate a mob with nothing but clubs and knives.

No. Cindy McCain.

Sudden Debt Librarian Dec 17, 2017 6:06 PM

Well, he wants the "minority" protected.

What will happen is an entire crackdown on the white population

Just wait untill the first actual warcrimes happen in the US.

The UN has a track record of rape and murder in every country they "saved"

I know quite a few guys who where in the UN forces and they all quit because of what happened there.

Those guys are devils without a soul.

If they ever try that shit here, my money's on the gangs. Blue hats will be shot on sight. Their armored vehicles stolen and customized with bling bling and sound systems.

I say you do the opposite, legalize ALL drugs, gambling and prostitution. Then regulate/tax the fuck out of it all. Finally, that city will pay for itself.

CompassionateCo... Dec 17, 2017 5:33 PM

What really needs done is to put an end to the NRA and ban and confiscate guns. Guns and toxic masculinity do not mix!

He is pretty funny though. So many people take those comments at face value...Zh has really become dumbed down.

Sudden Debt CompassionateConservative Dec 17, 2017 5:47 PM

What really needs to be done if unconstitutional in the US.

And that's bringing in the armed forces into those "minorty" area's and put a humvee on every corner.

Then, do a massive crackdown and apply zero tollerance on crime.

The sad part... this is like a textbook example of how the CIA destroys communities abroad.

This all didn't happen by accident. And after that, there will be a lot of other cities that will ask for "help"

didthatreallyhappen CompassionateConservative Dec 17, 2017 6:03 PM

LMAO

Cloud9.5 CompassionateConservative Dec 17, 2017 7:22 PM

We have beaten this horse to death. But, one more time. There is no way to disarm 100 million Americans. Thirty million won’t comply and nine million will take you to war. When they are done your magnificent blue archipelago will be in total darkness. Within a week the denizens of those once great cities will be eating each other. This is not a future you want, so do not bring us there.
