Chicago putting "unarmed security guards" on public transit

Unarmed security guards will be placed on Chicago public transit to help stem the flow of violent crime. The security guards will undergo a rigorous training course titled: "Use Your Words."

In just one night last week Chicago saw three people injured and one person killed in multiple shootings, but the unarmed force known as: "Thug Whisperers" will be on the job and the city will be as safe as a swaddled infant. Oh, by the way, the incidents just mentioned didn't even make the headlines because it was too common a night and not enough people were shot to grab front page.

Public transportation in Chicago has become as dangerous as a midnight ride in Riyadh, Afghanistan during the Taliban's Ramadan celebration. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is under tough criticism because the buses and trains have become extremely dangerous, especially at night.

So the CTA got on the case like Paw Patrol and hired 300 unarmed guards to ride the lines. 

Things had gotten so bad that even Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Commie had something to say about the situation. 

"I think the idea of putting unarmed security guards on public transportation is not the appropriate way to go," she began. "I'm certain the CTA, if they tried hard enough, could find people with arms who would do a better job at providing security for the passengers, especially passengers of color who are affected the most by violence. Those guys running the CTA are stupid and racist."

Robberies, stabbings, and shootings are among the violent attacks that have been reported in the CTA system within just the last month. The CTA is looking to hire staff just to clean up the blood and occasional body parts that litter the trains and buses.

Some riders believe that having unarmed people looking out for them is better than nothing. 

"I feel like they've sort of got my back," a rider, we'll call him Jimmy, told CNN+. "Just yesterday this dude comes into the car I'm ridin' in on near Division. The guy stands in the middle of the car; it's just me and a few other's tryin' to get to work, and he yells, 'Empty your f**kin' pockets or I'll shoot you a**holes in your f**kin' heads.' 

"I was scared, who wouldn't be, but suddenly this other guy stands up and announces that he's with the Chicago unarmed security unit called Thug Whisperers and said that he would like to talk about what got the guy to this point in his life where he robs people and scares them with a violent gun. He goes, 'My good sir; you know you don't really want to do this with your life. These people are innocent and just want to go to work and feel safe. Put down that gun.

"And while he's bullsh**ting to the thug, I'm making my way to the door that I know is gonna open up at the next stop. And the guy goes on with, 'Please sir, put that instrument of violence away and let's talk about you, for a change. I bet nobody ever spent the time with you to discuss your feelings.'

"The train comes to a stop and just as I'm about to run out, the guy shoots the unarmed Thug Whisperer in the leg. He may have got him in the balls, but I didn't wait to find out. I make book and I'm gone. If it wasn't for that unarmed security guard distracting him, I might not be here to talk about it."

Fun Facts: from January through March, 2022, crime in Chicago trains increased by 40% over the same time last year and over 55% over the same three months in 2018. 

This is not about Covid19 or evil guns, and the Democrat Mayors of these major cities where crimes have spiked know this and are collectively doing a "Joe Biden Meets the Pope."
