Lightfoot, speaking during a press availability on Thursday afternoon, said that city officials are exploring different ways to invest in communities, and said that Chicago will focus on the city’s West Side, which has been ravaged by gun violence.
“It’s obvious: we cannot arrest our way out of this problem,” she said. “Fundamentally, if you look at the West Side and you look at the problems, the opioid addiction that is really harming so many individuals, families and communities, the investments we have to make in human capital and the investments we have to make in infrastructure, those are why I spend so much time on the West Side.”
Lightfoot’s comments come as the city saw three mass shootings on Wednesday alone. One teen was killed in North Lawndale, and at least 17 other people were injured in the three attacks, which occurred within a six-hour span of one another.
In all, nearly 30 people were shot on Wednesday alone, according to Chicago police.(snip)
“I really do believe that as goes the west side, so goes the rest of the city of Chicago,” she said. “If we can get it right here, with the mix of resources and investments and capacity building in neighborhoods, empowering residents to be able to hold the territory under their feet, with our help and our support not just in the short-term but in the long-term, that’s really what the investments have to be about, and I’m totally committed to that.”

I think if you just brought in a new prosecutor crew (non-Chicago residents) and just went for maximum prosecution in every single case...letting the police know that the guy won’t get a deal, you’d reshape the city in a matter of just two years.
Banning guns instead of arresting detaining prosecuting and imprisoning criminals
NBC Chicago - One of Lightheads major supporters in the Chicago Fake News Industry - Lighthead does no wrong ever in the eyes of NBC Chicago.

What empowerment are they lacking? They have all the freebies any Third World resident would love to have.
...unless it's the empowerment of IQ and morality...starting with blaming guns instead of the perpetrators.
Per HeyJackass.com so far this weekend: 7:00a Peaceful Tally: 8 killed, 47 wounded.
Laws like those would have to be worded very carefully to preclude lawfare against self defense.
Oh definitely. There is method to the madness and this is it.
I like that phrasing: Guns (in democrat criminal hands ) cause violence, but when the democrat totalitarians take the guns (from conservative hands), there will be peace. Because the guns (in democrat government hands) will stop causing violence.
Tell that to Ashli Babbitt’s grave.
Arresting the violent criminals and putting them in jail for long periods has been proven to work. Releasing them back into the community only hours or days after they commit a crime has proven to INCREASE crime.
Are there more stupid people than Liberals?
She certainly helped “can’t arrest your way” into it.
No solutions.
One must wonder if the left still has dreams of a Federal Police Force (Brown Shirts) they will do anything to maintain total power just look at what they are doing now?.
The offspring of Beetlejuice and Don King speaks…
The DEA is only interested in gun dealers who might have messed up their paperwork. Lot safer than dealing with actual criminals.
You mean like Bidet’s crackhead kid?
No he’s way to dangerous for them to tackle.
h/t allendale......debilitating and troubling phenomena.
A culture that has so many bizarre post menopausal old ladies in positions of power.
Pelosi, Harris, Jackson, Duckworth, Hikomo, Sotomayer, Kagan, Feinstein,Cheney, Collins, Murkowsi, Lightfoot, Clinton.
These old cranky biddies play critical, negative roles in governing in what had been a vibrant, strong productive, decent society.
Decline and decay are inevitable.
And we can ad the Hollywood and NY TV “stars” in their news media. Sawyer, Couric, Oprah, ....
