When I moved to Illinois in 1994, both cars got registered with plates starting with “KGD.” A local cop told me “Ah, I see you got one of those Kill Gangster Disciples plates.

Whatever happened to midnight basketball? I thought that was supposed to keep peace in the hood.

Even if the Mayor decided to get tough on violence and crime, he's still a Democrat and a sissy...so it wouldn't amount to anything.
There's a lot of heat (from the pampered minority community) that results from a "get-tough" policy and this mayor would fold like a cheap suit.

That’s a lot of money that’s going to line someone’s pocket and produce NO results.
Betcha the weekend is worse than ever.

Those numbers ought be up on billboards. Almost every billboard in the Chicago area has a picture of Brian Urlacher with hair on his head selling a miracle cure. Breaking into that monopoly would require a lot of money.

After the new mayor takes his skim, and after the department heads take their skim, there will be enough money to buy a hot dog and maybe a reporter to gaslight the public on the success of the program once it is revealed that more people were shot than last year.

“The public-private partnership will support violence prevention and youth outreach efforts across the city by funding the work of 253 grassroots organizations working across 24 communities on the South and West sides.”
These grassroots organization benefit from a higher level of crime because the more crime there is the more their “services” are needed and the more funds are thrown at them.
So the idiot mayor by throwing $2.5 millions only incentivizes them to do nothing.
