CHICAGO - Tensions became heated Friday evening when Newsmax reporter William Kelly asked Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot about violent crime in the city.
According to data, more than 300 people have been shot and killed in Chicago this year. More than 1,500 have been shot and wounded.
When Kelly pressed Lightfoot on the apparent surge in violent crime, the mayor said he had his facts wrong.

On Monday, Mayor Lightfoot – who promised to reduce Chicago’s bloody street violence – said this month has been less violent than last year in June.
"We are seeing a downward trajectory, where other cities are continuing to see a climb," Lightfoot said.
2021 is so far Chicago’s deadliest year in more than a decade.

Oh noes! A white reporter!
I think Lori was triggered.
“...a downward trajectory,... “.
I am rather impressed Lightfoot knew that word ‘trajectory’.
Lori has responded by asking the City Council to approve a searchlight for the skyline that projects a “bat” symbol on it.
Just imagine if Beetlejuice were Mayor of Wakanda.
“He disrespected me.”
We are witnessing a significant increase in Chicago street violence, yes. But in the greater scheme of things, Chicago is not a war zone. 2.5 million plus is it’s population. The chances of being shot if you choose to enter its boundaries? I’ll let a statistician crunch the numbers. In the end it does not warrant the breathless hyperbole that has reporters crawling all over themselves for a “gotcha” moment on the clueless Beetlejuice.
“promised to reduce Chicago’s bloody street violence”
That would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.
Lightfoot shouldn’t be in charge of a Tijuana gas station bathroom.
I disagree with the headline. She hasn’t lost control. She has ceded control.
38 shot, only 2 dead in ChiCongo this weekend
Trauma surgeons need to take a few weekends off and thin the herd a bit
In full public view is the only safe way to question this Mayor this directly about something serious.
If he had cornered her in a coridor, I could see the Mayor lying, saying “That White Boy reporter tried to touch me!”
....Na...Nobody would believe that one. Try again, Mayor.
She’s in control, demcommierino
Standard Operating Procedure
and Method Of Operation
Create as big a fustercluck
as humanly or demonicly possible
and proclaim themselves
as the only solution.
We so need to ditch the 17th amendment
and machine no I.D.voting.
.
According to heyjackass.com, the count is 42 shot, 4 fatally, as of roughly 4:00 AM today.
I disagree with the headline. She hasn’t lost control. She has ceded control.

And I disagree with that. She never had control in the first place. Chicago was a shite hole city before she took over, and it still is.
Oops
Guess I didn’t see the updated tally from last night
Politicians are there to proliferate problems, not solve them. That applies to both parties. We could resolve many quite easily, but the Derp State (and their private sector allies) doesn’t want them to be. They’re the single greatest threat to our nation and our very existence.
As someone said....”Lori Lightfoot is what you see when someone taps on an Aquarium window”!!!! LOL!!!
LUCKILY, they only shoot each other in Chicago on the WEEKENDS!!!
