Why Chicago will not, and should not, host the 2016 Olympics

[Dude!]

one word: crime

http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/video_derrion_albert

Chicago is full of horrible people
and the world should not come to see
this cesspool of humanity

[PapaBear]

I'm not going to bother reading it, but are yous saying Atlanta wasn't a crime ridden city before they got the Olympics?

[TheMojoPin]

That and it would be a fucking nightmare for those of us that live here.

Plus the cities that host them usually end up ultimately LOSING money because of it. God knows how much that loss would be magnified with Daley et al running things.

PASS.

But yeah, send the Olympics to Rio instead over this...because the crime there is SO much better.

[IMSlacker]

Batman will have the crime problem well in hand by 2016.

Definitely hotter women, though.

Which is not a slam on Chicago's women. But have you seen the women in Rio?

[TheMojoPin]

It's not even a contest.

Even the Rio trannies are hotter.

[Dude!]

actually, you are one of
the horrible people
to whom i referred

[TheMojoPin]

The sad thing is that with the amount of gun violence in this city and, well, everywhere in America, this part is morbidly refreshing:

No knives and no guns were used in Thursday's fight. Just fists, feet and boards.

We're bringing the classic rumble back.

[FrogSlayer]

keepin it old school in Chi town

[GregoryJoseph]

Aren't handguns banned in Chicago?

How can there be gun violence?

Are they using hunting rifles and shotguns?

[TheMojoPin]

Aren't handguns banned in Chicago?

How can there be gun violence?

Are they using hunting rifles and shotguns?

Yeah, handguns being legal sure would stop all this.

Oh, right.

[GregoryJoseph]

Yeah, handguns being legal sure would stop all this.

Oh, right.

That's not what I said.

I merely asked how they could exist in that city if they're illegal.

[newport king]

where do u get a board from?

[TheMojoPin]

That's not what I said.

I merely asked how they could exist in that city if they're illegal.

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody is saying that banning handguns magically keeps illegal ones away.

[Marc with a c]

That's not what I said.

I merely asked how they could exist in that city if they're illegal.

exactly.

if handguns didn't exist there would be no crime, just like if the were no mods there would be no bannings, and no ceo's there would be no firings.

[TheMojoPin]

exactly.

if handguns didn't exist there would be no crime, just like if the were no mods there would be no bannings, and no ceo's there would be no firings.

Or if nobody else played baseball then maybe marc would be good at it.

[Marc with a c]

Or if nobody else played baseball then maybe marc would be good at it.

so would the cubs.

[TheMojoPin]

No, they'd still stink.

[~Katja~]

Even the Rio trannies are hotter.
you didn't need to spell it out, we know where your interest are.

[GregoryJoseph]

Don't be ridiculous. Nobody is saying that banning handguns magically keeps illegal ones away.

So what purpose does the law serve?

[KC2OSO]

That's not what I said.

I merely asked how they could exist in that city if they're illegal.
Oh, so what you're saying is that the gun violence problem in Chicago (and every other city) stems from the non-licensed hand gun owners (criminals), not the licensed hand gun owners (law abiding citizens).

hmmm. :blink:

[KC2OSO]

So what purpose does the law serve?
Thank you.

[Devo37]

1. their "hot dog" is a salad with a frankfurter stuffed in the middle.

2. their "pizza" is a loaf of bread with sauce, meat, and cheese and thrown on top.

All I have is one question to ask anyone who reads and see's that.

What the fuck do you do to stop shit like that from happening?

[PapaBear]

This is a terrible story, but it would have never been heard of outside of Chicago, if it wasn't on video.

[Tall_James]

How could they host the Olympics? They're just an easy listening band with trumpets. Silly question.

[TheMojoPin]

So what purpose does the law serve?

Not much. It's a shitty law.

[KC2OSO]

I'm saying the solution to a problem is never taking away the rights and freedoms of citizens.
I was agreeing with you albeit not that well as usual. I'm about two pegs right of Charlton Heston's cold dead hands when it comes to this subject.

[Contra]

I'm saying the solution to a problem is never taking away the rights and freedoms of citizens.

Are you kidding? It's the new american way! This aint your daddy's united states.

[TheMojoPin]

While it's a largely overreactionary and ineffectual law, all the "taking away rights stuff" is pretty melodramatic. People can still legally own firearms in Chicago, nor is there anything in the much vaunted 2nd Ammendment that states that people must be able to legally own handguns.

[epo]

You'll get the Olympics and you'll like the traffic nightmare!

[TheMojoPin]

You'll get the Olympics and you'll like the traffic nightmare!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[epo]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Construction EVERYWHERE!!!

[FrogSlayer]

It is a fun experience. I enjoyed everything except the traffic when it was here in Ga. I have some wonderful memories of the soccer games in Athens.

[epo]

Don't fuck this up Chicago!

[TheMojoPin]

Please fuck this up! I'm pissed that Obama decided to go shill for this.

LEAVE US BE!

[epo]

You obviously hate America.

[TheMojoPin]

Ah-doy.

[epo]

I can't wait for Chicago to be a bloody clusterfuck.

[TheMojoPin]

We'll take Milwuakee down with us.




























Not that it could go any lower.

Its the perfect situation: you get the mess, we get the free economic boost.
Good work Chicago!

[King Hippos Bandaid]

maybe they could host the Olympics, if you put a Chicago (Berlin) Wall to keep out the south side

[red_red_red]

I'm not going to bother reading it, but are yous saying Atlanta wasn't a crime ridden city before they got the Olympics?
not even close to what's going on in Chicago, i lived in ATL for 8 years and it was never that bad.

Here's the thing: it wasn't even a gang fight. It was a fight between two groups of kids who live in different places. One group of kids live in this building over there, the other in this building over there and so they had to fight.

[shittles]

I am sick of Obama using taxpayer money to promote Chicago. He wouldn't care if blacks weren't a majority in the city

Amen, brother. They should just bulldoze South Chicago.

[Syd]

That's not what I said.

Stolen from legal gun owners. Gun laws are misplaced and don't try to deal with the reality that a lot of people have needlessly large arsenals of guns that end up getting stolen and putting guns on the street. Add to that gun shows and less than legitimate gun stores that sell off the cheap guns used in the majority of crimes and Congress scared shitless of creating new but perfectly reasonable gun controls.

[biggirl]

Chicago was next on my list to take the kids to for vacation. Are you saying don't do it? Will they get beat up? Will I get beat up? When I went to Molly's Cupcakes I didn't feel threatened.

[Jujubees2]

So that when a criminal is caught with a gun, the state can tack on an illegal gun possession charge to any other charges.

[Serpico1103]

That's not what I said.

I merely asked how they could exist in that city if they're illegal.

People get them outside the city. I am not positive, but I don't think there are any gun manufacturing plants in Chicago. Unlike marijuana, guns must be manufactured, for the most part, by large corporations.

The guns are then sold legally, but in many times recklessly, to people who then sell them or get them "stolen."

Gun regulations are less effective because they are not uniform. If it is easy to get a gun outside of Chicago, it is relatively easy to enter Chicago with that now "illegal" gun. City gun laws are not as effective as state wide or national regulations would be.

For now, the supreme court is on the fence whether the 2nd Amendment applies to the states. The court has never ruled, that a state could not ban guns completely. But, this is a rather lengthy discussion. It was nice to hear Anthony again go on about how little he knows about the 2nd Amendment, his favorite subject.

[JohnCharles]

Another reason - Too close to corn fields.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

If they do get it, a new sport can be ACORN tossing. Another one can be the 100 yard dash from the IRS. Geithner and Daschle would get gold medals for that

[vjr97]

chicago,usa just has to figure out a way of making a profit out of this

[The Jays]

Why shouldn't Chicago get it? They've been overcoming adversity for centuries. They had the Great Chicago Fire, and they came back stronger then ever and hosted the Colombian Exposition in 1892, probably the most important World's Fair ever staged.

They could have gangsta olympics.
As they seem to be ahead of other cites.
By not using guns.

Wait that one story said that the White House had a comment on a kid getting beaten to death ? He's sending the Attorney General to investigate ?

Is that what the President's gonna do now ?

Release a statement everytime an individual is killed in the US ?

What happned to that kid sucks and should be investigated and prosecuted until everybody invloved is punished but is it really a Federal issue ?

[JimBeam]

Exactly.

Did he have a comment on the drunk police officer that killed that lady the other day ?

Anything on the Roman Polanski story ?

Is he the President that only gets involved in local issues of his hometown ?

I'm actually against any Federal involvemnet in local issues that don't have national implications so I'd rather he shut his piehole and work on things in his job description.

Obama is not the only president to campaign to have the US host the Olympics.

President Bush Meets with Chicago 2016 Bid Committee and United States Olympic Committee Members

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
January 7, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: I want to thank the members of the 2016 Chicago bid to get the Olympics. Listen, Mr. Mayor, you and your committee have put together a great plan. It's a plan that will make America proud.

They say that the Olympics will come to Chicago if we're fortunate enough to be selected, but really it's coming to America, and I can't think of a better city to represent the United States than Chicago.


President George W. Bush and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley hold up a T-shirt touting Chicago 2016, during a meeting Monday, Jan. 7, 2008, with with members of the Chicago 2016 Bid Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee. Said the President, "This country supports your bid, strongly. And our hope is that the judges will take a good look at Chicago and select Chicago for the 2016 Olympics." White House photo by Joyce N. Boghosian This is a well thought out venue. There will be -- the athletes will be taken care of. People who will be coming from around the world will find this good city has got fantastic accommodations, great restaurants. It will be safe.

And so I -- this country supports your bid, strongly. And our hope is that the judges will take a good look at Chicago and select Chicago for the 2016 Olympics.

Thank you all.

I don't think it was ever stated or suggested that he's the 1st one to do it.

I believe he's actually the 1st one to do it in person ... oh and to do it for his hometown.

So yes it is peculiar that a President, in the midst of fighting many domestic battles would take the time and use the money to fly to another country to plead for an event that it's not even certain the majority of the city/state/country even want.

And incidentally it's not like Bush was campaigning to have them in Crawford TX.

As bad as traffic already is here in the Washington DC Metro area, I want the Olympics nowhere near here. Hell...the Obama inauguration pretty much shut down the entire area, and that was only for a day. I can only imagine what it would be like for two entire weeks.

Even a SB here would be so horrible. Shit when they have the Barclays golf tourney in Paramus, it locks up half the fuckin county for 4 days.

The Olympics are supposed to be for shitty countries no one cares about to be able to make some money for a few weeks. STOP having them in the US unless its an empty place.

They should try to get a winter olympics in like alaska or something. Where no one cares

for a super bowl here, the city is fairly quiet in late january, and unlike the crappy podunk towns that sometimes get super bowls, we're used to having tons of visitors here. summer olympics would work great, the city's almost a ghost town then.

Honestly, it's a good choice: the Olympics have never been in South America (and only once in Latin America, the 1968 Mexico City games), Rio will probably bust their ass to put on a hell of a show, seeing their chance to establish a presence on the world stage (sort of like Beijing 2008), and Rio's time zone is only 1 hour ahead of the Eastern time zone, meaning that a lot of big events can easily be shown live in the biggest TV market for the Games, the United States.

I'm just glad that there are a lot of Americans who are elated by Chicago losing the Olympic bid. Imagine how many Americans could've been put to work by the construction projects.

I think that many Republicans are going to pay a heavy price for their elation when they realize that they have supporters who are relying on work to be made available for them. It sounds like a "hand-out" but how else do construction workers work? Do they build houses, office buildings and stadiums for themselves?

The demographics don't support that argument. Chicago tends to side with Democrats. The state tends to lean toward Democratic candidates in presidential elections, but most of the districts outside of Chicago are majority-Republican ones. The governorship was locked up by Republicans for years until George Ryan's scandal and the senate was half Republican until Peter F. Fitzgerald's predecessor's scandal (The Republican Party decided to run Alan Keyes against Barack Obama... smooth move guys).

Blagovich's predecessor is going conclude his term soon and I think there is going to be a vicious fight for his seat. They may want to pick someone who was not on camera clapping when Chicago was eliminated.
