The Shooter Forecast
“We’re concerned about this,” said Karen Sheley, the director of the Police Practices Project of the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. “There’s a database of citizens built on unknown factors, and there’s no way for people to challenge being on the list. How do you get on the list in the first place? We think it’s dangerous to single out somebody based on secret police information.”
Is it the "no fly" list that Sheley is talking about?
Nope...
In a city of 2.7 million people, about 1,400 are responsible for much of the violence, [Chicago Police Department superintendent] Eddie Johnson said, and all of them are on what the department calls its Strategic Subject List.
So far this year, more than 70 percent of the people who have been shot in Chicago were on the list, according to the police, as were more than 80 percent of those arrested in connection with shootings.
So why are the left-wingers complaining about this list, while they advocate using the no-fly list to deprive citizens of a civil right?
