Watching the circus in Chicago is appalling. Week after week people are dying in the streets. democrats seem so inured by the violence and death that it's all normal to them.
The past weekend saw 54 people shot and 8 killed. To Gov. "JBeefy" Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson it's another day at the office. Pritzker, who went to the safest part of Chicago with his retinue of bodyguards to proclaim how safe the city is says "Authoritarians thrive on your silence." He adds "There's no emergency that warrants deploying troops in Chicago". To date this year 1166 people have been shot in Chicago and there have been 293 homicides.
This isn't new. Chicago had been suffering like this for years. Donald Trump wants to curb the violence and death and Illinois's leader fight harder against him than they fight against crime.
It's so bad that MSNBC's Joe Scarborough calls it out
He slammed Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for their mismanagement of crime in the city — where 54 people were shot and seven killed over Labor Day weekend alone. “You know, it would be radical for us to figure out a way to actually do what I’ve been saying from the very beginning in Washington. And that is seeing politicians creating partnerships that protect their people,” he said.But of course, Scarborough is playing games as well.
Last week, Scarborough downplayed crime in Democrat-led cities.“If you look at most crime charts, seven, eight of the top 10 deadliest cities in America, big cities, are usually in red states,” he said Aug. 26.But the cities with all the violence are under democrat control.
Brandon Johnson is equally dispassionate about the lives lost
“No federal troops in the city of Chicago. No militarized force in the city of Chicago,” Johnson declared Monday.Both Johnson and Pritzker fail in their obligations to something very important- their constituencies. The people of their cities and states want help. They want intervention. They want the violence and death to stop.“We’re going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago,” he added, according to the Chicago Tribune. “We’re going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago.”
Johnson's weird answer to solve crime was "more affordable housing."Chicago residents are calling for more police as crime continues to plague the Windy City, with the Trump administration considering sending in the National Guard.
"When I've been growing up actually, it wasn't really as bad as it is today. When I was growing up back in the early 2000s… it was bad, but the kids nowadays, they're just wreaking havoc in all of the neighborhoods," Osiris King told Fox News Digital. ...
"We need, I'd say, about 10,000 police. Me, personally, we do need mental health. Now, here's the thing. If you want to have mental health and have a mental hospital, get these illegals out of here," Dennis White, a former National Guard officer, told Fox News Digital.
"The shelter that you put these illegals in—use that as a mental hospital so they can get the help they need, so they can be more of a productive citizen," White added.
...
Alderman Nick Sposato, a self-described independent, said the solution is hiring more police.
"I think the biggest piece of the pie has to be more police officers, more protection. That's what the people want. More visibility," said Sposato, who has lived in Chicago for 67 years.
"I don't know why he wouldn't answer it," Sposato added of Johnson. "I mean, he just refused to say we could use more police. He is a big believer of social justice."

There are some neighborhoods in Chicago that are protected I’m sure. I imagine these two infamous characters have armed details. So I think it might be particular groups or neighborhoods they don’t care about
Money-mouth: You two put on business suits, let your body guards have the night off, and at 7PM until 5AM, the two of you take a leisurely stroll through the south side of Chicago. Any bets?
The deaths of inner city people are the life blood of the democrat party. By assuring that the folks keep getting murdered, the democrats remain in office and tighten their grip on power.
They get votes and money from the folks who actually believe that the democrats will make their lives better.
Every year at election time it’s “look what Whitey did to you - blame Whitey - vote for us and send money”. But nothing changes.
They actually hate Trump more than they love life. They would choose to see their own daughters raped and murdered than give Trump credit for anything.
Didn’t they used to call this “The Chicago Way”?
Governor Creosote hates black people.
It’s the only rational explanation.
L
Social control of the productive working class.
Organized crime bosses are fine with violence and death.
The money flows up and they are happy.
Cracking down on crime cracks down on the flow.
Bingo!
To blame it on a hatred of Trump is a misdirection; if Trump goes away, it will only get worse.
From the article:
But the cities with all the violence are under democrat control. Which is to say, under control of the American Left.
It’s because they are owned by the drug cartels.
Bingo
And why do they hate Trump so much? I believe it’s because they don’t like their policies being proven wrong on so many levels.
That's more than 5 per day being shot, and more than one a day being murdered.
No emergency here, move along.
Good God, please have mercy on the people of Chicago.
Democrats NEED crisis. Their policies are designed to sew division ,maintain chaos and keep the poor , poor.
Dems never loved people. They love humanity. They can’t
stand people.
Democrats hate the smelly people too. Anyone who thinks a single democrat cares about the blacks killing each other and mayhem in black neighborhoods is a fool. They have their vote, will have that vote forever, and don’t care.
Or they hate blacks more than they hate Trump.
So true.
