Illinois govna (Govna means governor in British Cockney slang, but in the Balkans it’s slang for feces, just think about that the next time you hear somebody say “‘Ello govna!”) Pat Quinn refused to testify in front of state legislators as to what happened to the $55-million USD that was supposed to be used to fight violence: “This is an Audit Commission. The program didn’t work out. I’m angry about the fact that it didn’t work out! Having said that, we defunded that particular program, abolished the agency that was running the program, and moved the anti-violence effort to another agency. I’ve talked about this issue repeatedly!”  

For an example of Illinois law enforcement ineptitude and criminality, the state has agreed to pay five men $40-million. The men were wrongfully arrested by State Police and then convicted of raping and killing a 14 years old girl in Dixmoor.  The men were also teenagers at the time of their arrests, in 1991.  They were exonerated in 2011 when DNA tests showed none of them committed the rape.  The five victims of evil police and courts said they were also tortured.

But wait there’s more!  A man who was arrested when he was 13 years old, and then convicted of murder, was exonerated in 2009 after 16 years in prison.  Illinois must now pay him $25-million for the wrongful conviction.

And just a couple of days ago the Cook County Prosecutor has revealed that two men in prison, for a murder 15 years ago, are probably innocent.  According to an investigation the ‘confession’ of one of the men is now suspect because he made the ‘confession’ to police before the murder actually took place!!!  The Prosecutor pointed out that the man was already in jail when the murder took place!

Notice that most of the shooting victims are males.

Once again, the shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. It’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.

Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
