A member of the Cook County Board of Commissioners had opined that in order to solve the anti-gun city of Chicago’s disturbingly high murder rate is to bring in United Nations peacekeepers to stop the “genocide”, going so far as to say:

“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… “… “There is a quiet genocide taking place in too many of our communities. Eighty percent of those who are being killed by gun violence are African American, and often killed at the hands of another African American […] So we must protect these population groups, and that’s what the United Nations does. They’re a peacekeeping force. They know all about keeping the peace, and so we’re hopeful that they’ll hear our appeal.”

That the U.N. has NO authority to intervene in Chicago was made clear by Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson: “[T]he U.N. has no jurisdiction here. They really have no jurisdiction in this country.”

Of course, if U.N. “peacekeepers” did decide to show up, their shiny blue helmets would make the perfect shooting target for millions of Americans…
