Gov. may call in National Guard

This is how bad it can get in anti-RTC states. What a joke.

Blagojevich: Chicago May Need National Guard Help

With gun violence at a crisis, Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Wednesday said he is in talks with Illinois State Police and the Illinois National Guard to see if more police officers can be deployed to the streets of Chicago.

The governor said Chicago Mayor Richard Daley hasn't asked for help, but Blagojevich says he'll call the mayor once he has some concrete suggestions about what help he can provide.

Blagojevich didn't have many specifics, but he said it's more likely that state police will be brought in than the National Guard.

Blagojevich also said there are a lot of retired Chicago police officers and state police troopers who could be rehired for the summer.
