Chicago Alderman Wants People to Blow Whistles, Run at Armed Robbers:
Chicago Alderman Michele Smith (D-Ward 43) wants her constituents to wear whistles, which they can blow while running towards armed robbers, should they witness a crime taking place.
Smith sent out an email about the program, saying, “The WhistleStop program follows these rules…If you find yourself in a suspicious situation or witness a crime, blow your whistle. If you hear a whistle, call the police, then move toward the source while blowing your own whistle.”
She claimed that blowing a whistle while running at the robber “forces the offender to flee, and helps the police pinpoint the location of the crime.”
“We expressly direct people: if you are the victim of crime, cooperate. Do not resist. And certainly don’t blow your whistle if someone has a gun pointed at your head,” Smith said.
Oy vey -- I just can't believe how far we've slid. How about blowing bubbles -- maybe it would make the crooks stop and want to pop them with their fingers?
Running towards armed people blowing a whistle? Seems like more unbelievable stupidity designed to make us rebel.
You can guarantee when the Antichrist shows up, all this stupidity will stop.
Yes, unbelievably stupid.
I was particularly amused by the last sentence: "Certainly don’t blow your whistle if someone has a gun pointed at your head.”
