Chicago Gruesome Gun Violence Prompts Congress To Send In National Guard…”Every Single Day We Wake Up And A Black Person Has Been Murdered”

Chicago Gruesome Gun Violence Prompts Congress To Send National Guard It’s about damn time someone do something about this ridiculous gun violence in the Chi… Via NBC News: The onslaught of gun crime in Chicago has spurred members of Congress to convene a summit on urban violence and prompted a state lawmaker to demand the National Guard be called in to stop the “mayhem.” “Every single day we wake up in the city of Chicago, some child, some young adult, some African-American male has been murdered,” state Rep. Monique Davis said Thursday. “This is not acceptable. I’m hearing from mothers that they are afraid to go outside,” she said. “Hospitals are overburdened with 70 gunshot wounds in one day. Ambulances are so busy people are driving victims in their own cars.” Davis held a press conference this week to ask Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn to call in National Guard “to protect our children so they can go to the park and swim and play and have a childhood.” She said the governor has not responded. Meanwhile, Congressman Bobby Rush and two other Illinois Democrats announced plans Thursday for an “emergency” summit July 25 at Chicago State University. The event will be national in scope, but Chicago was chosen because it is “the epicenter of gun violence in the nation,” said Rush’s spokeswoman, Debra Johnson. Chicago ended last year as the city with the highest number of murders in the nation. Three weeks later, its reputation as a crime capital was cemented when Hadiya Pendleton, 15, was shot dead days after performing in Washington for President Obama’s inauguration festivities. Police say anti-gang and crime-fighting strategies launched after Pendleton’s slaying are working. Official statistics show murders were down 28 percent, from 260 to 188, and shooting incidents fell 24 percent, from 1,117 to 849, in the first half of the year.

Eliot Spitzer to Run For New York City Comptroller

Eliot Spitzer is mounting a comeback. The disgraced ex-governor of New York State, who resigned in 2008, is running for New York City comptroller. He cleared the first hurdle in his unexpected quest to become the city’s accounting and financial chief by filing 27,000 signatures to get on the ballot. Eliot Spitzer’s political career was all but over until he announced his surprise candidacy for the somewhat random (but still elected and powerful) position. He far exceeded the threshold of 3,750 signatures required to get on September ballot in the Democratic primary election. He had until midnight to file. “I want to say thank you to the citizens of New York,” said Spitzer standing in front of four boxes of petitions. “This is a demonstration of popular support.” His place on the ballot is not yet assured. The signatures must be validated by the city’s Board of Elections and are subject to challenge from opponents. Signatures can be nixed if a voter already signed another comptroller candidate’s petition, is not a Democrat in NYC or runs afoul of other technicalities. Because of New York’s tough (some might say arcane) rules, Spitzer needed roughly 15,000 signatures to feel secure that he could stave off challenges. For comparison, Scott Stringer, the Manhattan borough president who also seeks the job, submitted approximately 100,000 names on his petition. Spitzer running for comptroller – an job responsible for auditing a roughly $70 billion budget and managing roughly $140 billion in pension funds – came as a shock. Political comebacks are nothing new, but the way in which he resigned – getting busted paying prostitute Ashley Dupre – was particularly sordid. Voters have been unable to escape comparisons between Spitzer and Anthony Weiner, who left Congress in 2011 because of a sexting scandal. Weiner is running for mayor of New York in 2013. “You could have a cable TV show,” said Baruch College (N.Y.) public affairs professor Doug Muzzio. “It’s the Real Politicians of New York.” We’d watch it.

Pothole Robin Hood: Man Steals Asphalt, Fixes City Streets Personally

A man dubbed the “pothole Robin Hood” is under investigation for stealing asphalt from the city of Jackson, Miss., and … fixing potholes with it in his free time. Ron Chane admitted to ABC News that he not only takes the asphalt and does repairs, he signs the filled-in holes with the message “citizen fixed.” “It’s sort of like Robin Hood. Once we saw that people were appreciating what we did, we went out again and made a goal of fixing 100 potholes.” “We’ve actually filled 101, so our mission has been completed. Jackson is like any other state capital, but we’ve got a big infrastructure problem.” “It’s hard to have a good city without infrastructure,” Chane added. “And our city simply does not have the budget for it.” The Jackson Police Department is looking into how Ron Chane got his hands on the asphalt and has not yet made a decision about pressing charges. Chane says he’s not committing a crime: “We’re not trying to be thieves, or steal from the city,” he said. “We’re just trying to put existing asphalt to use.” Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumbaba said in a statement, “We do not accept any use of the city’s resources without going through the proper legal channels.” Lumbaba, who was elected mayor on July 1, included repairing and developing Jackson’s streets in his platform, according to his campaign website. “Hopefully our new mayor and his administration will be more aggressive in addressing this problem,” Chane said. “He’s got a tough road ahead.” Literally. Potholes are a disruptive and dangerous problem in Jackson. “People joke that Jackson is a Six Flags because the roads are so bumpy,” resident Zachary Boozer said. “The potholes are pretty widespread.” “They make cracks in the streets, which are already crumbling. And it’s not just potholes. We’ve also got sinkholes. People have been falling in them.” That’s why Pothole Robin Hood does what he does. “We’re sending a message that as citizens you have to sometimes take matters in your hands, in a creative and constructive way,” Chane added. “I was approached by the Mississippi Department of Transportation,” Chane said, although the MDOT won’t confirm that this exchange happened. “They said that while they do not condone or endorse what we did, they were indeed on the understanding side. They said the asphalt is the people’s asphalt .”

Pacific Rim Reviews: Do the Robots Have What It Takes?

Pacific Rim is Guillermo Del Toro’s very highly anticipated robot/monsters/sci-fi blockbuster starring Idris Elba, Charlie Day, and  Sons of Anarchy ‘ s Charlie Hunnam. Will it succeed at the box office? Can it knock  Despicable Me 2 from it’s perch?  Let’s check out some of the reviews and see what the critics have to say! In a field rife with impostors and poseurs, Del Toro, like his mentors, is the real deal. It’s good to have him working his magic again. — Kenneth Turan,  Los Angeles Times I know we all wanted a robots versus monsters movie, but we don’t need to accept a mediocre one. In fact, it’s even more imperative we hold out for better. — Fred Topel,  CraveOnline It’s closer to the hammering “Transformers” aesthetic than expected. Yet the weirdness around the edges saves it from impersonality. — Michael Phillips,  Chicago Tribune It’s big and loud and kind of dumb and predictable. The difference is that, in del Toro’s hands, it’s meant to be. — Bill Goodykoontz,  Arizona Republic As gripping as watching a Transformer toy battle in a bathtub with a rubber dinosaur. — Joe Neumaier,  New York Daily News Shows how a fairly simple concept and plot can be transformed by a master filmmaker into literally one of the most entertaining and fun movies of the summer. — Edward Douglas,  ComingSoon.net
