Daley: Send gun industry lawsuit to World Court
Six years after the state Supreme Court dismissed his $433 million lawsuit against the gun industry, Mayor Daley today called for a change of venue — to the World Court normally reserved for disputes between nations and crimes against humanity.
Wrapping up the sixth annual Richard J. Daley Global Cities Forum, Daley convinced more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the world to approve a resolution urging “redress against the gun industry through the courts of the world” in The Hague.
“This is coming from international mayors. They’re saying, ‘We’re tired of your guns, America. … We don’t want those anymore because guns kill and injure people,’ ” Daley told a news conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Funny, thing, Mayor. I’m tired of your (racial pejorative censored). So maybe we can work something out.
This might help:
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard Casauban noted that the Mexican government is waging a brutal war against drug cartels that get “85 percent” of their weapons from the United States.
We’ve been through this. The Mexican gangs are getting the guns from the international black market, and a lot of them are moving, with the gangsters and illegals, from south to north, not the other way around.
But let’s assume for the sake of discussion that Mr. Casauban is right. There’s the obvious solution to prevent all those evil gringo guns from infesting Mexico. It’s called triple fencing, 100,000 volts, AND the 101st Airborne. Comprehensive plan, if there ever was one. And while we’re at it, we can fence off the crime-ridden sections of Chicago, Philadelphia, and every other major city mentioned here in exactly that fashion, to keep guns out of those neighborhoods.
“But blogmeister, won’t that be in essence putting those residence into a sort of prison?”
Well, yeah, but since a very high percentage of black men in many major cities, upwards of half, are in prison, or on probation or parole for a felony conviction, it’s just as well. They’ll wind up going to prison anyway. Much cheaper to bring the prison to them rather than take them to the prison.
Be careful for what you wish, you just might get it.
World court. Sheesh.
Again, I ask: What is it about cities that make guns behave so badly? Why are gun buyback programs only advertised on black radio stations, and never classical music, soft rock or country music stations? Though I would rather be a whore and ripping out a big ole fart while sitting in the pews of a church than advertise a gun buyback program on a country music radio station.
