Over the Labor Day weekend, more than 50 people were shot, and seven were killed in Chicago. It's as bad as it gets, and for a blue city in a blue state, it's not surprising.
Chicago is also one of the cities that has vehemently opposed President Trump's plan to crack down on crime. Mayor Brandon Johnson called jailing criminals racist and immoral and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker claimed Trump's plan is to really 'interfere' with the 2026 elections. A Democratic councilman in Chicago broke ranks with his party and said Johnson should take Trump up on the offer (don't hold your breath).
Johnson also threatened riots if President Trump tries to clean up the streets of the Windy City, and he's doubling down on the violent rhetoric.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is nuts: “Are you prepared to defend this land that was built by slaves? A land that was built by indigenous people?”
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
Literally they didn’t build a single thing.
Didn’t the WhyFolk burn the place down in the 1800s?
LOL. They were uncivilized nomads. Built? They didn't build ANYTHING.
The Mound Builders built mounds.
This mayor though....needs to be drug tested for saying nutty stuff like that.
Uprising. MAGA is the uprising against your failed leftist scam.
Land is built? Thought it was just there.
Brandon is safe in his Ivory Tower
I would be. And he's right, if you can't defend it, it's not yours. Like the people who were conquered before them. The precious slaves/indigenous. Mostly indigenous. Slaves didn't nuffin'.
Let’s go Brandon.

The Wakandans built huts out of mud and sticks.
When exactly was Illinois a slave state?

Well, if by “interfere”, Pritzker means “interfere with democrap vote fraud”, then yes.
This is excellent optics. Shootings, murders, and various major crimes all being supported and encouraged by Chicongo leadership versus a president who wants to stop crime. Keep it up democrats. This is a winning message. “Keep our streets safe for gangsters and drug dealers. Stop Orangeman bad.”
We realize that this reference to “indigenous people” is part of the Critical Race Theory spouted by the Marxists to justify their existence. Human history is a long legacy of humans overcoming the needs of survival. If that meant survival because of inherited superiority over other humans (Cro-Magnons over Neanderthals) Nature’s reality is a harsh taskmaster.
Marxism is a failed system and, like any inferior system, it will be overcome.
These people are in the pathetic position of trying to defend violent crime.
For years, I have been horrified by the relentless killing of innocent children and adults in Chicago. All decent people are. Every weekend we learn of horrifying murders, shootings, and injuries. At last someone--President Trump--is rescuing these innocent people, and Democrat Politicians and their agents are in the appalling position of opposing his efforts to save them.
"Chicago is also one of the cities that has vehemently opposed President Trump's plan to crack down on crime."
Obviously the only black lives that matters are the Obamas' and Oprah Winfrey's.
