The thin blue line never had a chance thanks to the gross mismanagement of the mayor and governor.

The National Guard should have been called in to help maintain order.

Apparently Chicago’s elected officials didn’t want order.

It’s been Democrat leadership in cities across the nation that have let rioters run amok, and now they’re lining up with their hands out for federal dollars to “fix” things.

I’m sick of paying up for other people’s bad decisions.

How many murders and major violent crimes per day does one city need before they prioritize their response plan?

Chicago is a sinkhole of graft and mismanagement.

“ Chicago’s elected officials didn’t want order.”
WINNER! None of the Lib mayors or govs wanted order, they need chaos and destruction to blame on The President and to get Federal bailout cash, Especially Chicago.

The cowardly governor sent in a token number of National Guards. Less than a thousand, far less than what was needed. Since that time all that he has done is march with BLM.

How could Chicago not be ready for unrest. They kill each other en masse weekly

In Chicago, it is obvious from the murder rate that black lives do not matter.

Any politician that says different is a cynical liar.

Thanks..
True... GMTA <: <: <:

Sorta like New Orleans (as a recent example) all those years of ‘levee money’ and people living high off the hog with commissioner of this and/or that while little was going to the levees, add in that EVERY year they seemed to evacuate the city-to the point where when the bigun hit nobody left because in the past the HOODS hung around and ransacked the homes of the people that paid attention to the ‘warnings’.

Somewhat like now, these Governors/Mayors not allowing baseball games or playground activities yet stand by and let people tear up their town or city in the name of ‘peaceful demonstrations’

Allowing the BIG stores open while keeping small stores closed...

(IF AND) When the SHTF, all these local despots are going to really wonder why they are being singled out...

AND, looking at the pictures of regular folks bowing and washing feet including Federal Agents & Sheriffs & Police Chief & some LEO, got to figure that it ain’t agonna happen at the ballot box.

We have tried it their way, I really think it is long past time for an ANTI INCUMBENT movement, either primary the sitting member OR hold nose and vote for the opposition with TERM LIMITS being the first order of business.

We can turn over the House every two years, Senate takes a little longer but we have been ‘wandering the desert’ for a SECOND forty year segment and time for some huge changes, basically BACK to some sanity.

Isn’t that what we pay you to do? Be prepared?isn’t that what they’ve been screaming about Trump for three years and that he’s not prepared? Even though he’s only been in office for 3 years and the problems have been growing for the past 40?
