Chicago is what happens when a culture loses its moral grounding
American Thinker ^ | 6 Dec, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Saturday’s crime spree in Chicago’s famous Loop reflects how things break down when citizens have no morals and fear no law.

Chicago’s Loop encompasses the city’s central business district, which is also the second-largest commercial business district in America (or so Wikipedia tells me), filled with restaurants, offices, retail stores, hotels, and historic attractions. It lies at the heart of Cook County, the same county that elected Kim Foxx, the Soros-designated district attorney who doesn’t believe in prosecuting crime. When you couple Foxx’s aversion to enforcing the law with generations of people who have grown up without any moral grounding, you get a weekend in the loop complete with beatings, a shooting, and general misbehavior.

CWB Chicago reported on the madness Saturday night in the Loop:

A 15-year-old was shot, a CTA bus driver was beaten, and about 20 juveniles were taken into custody as a “large group incident” unfolded in the Loop on Saturday evening, according to police and initial information from sources.

Among the more serious incidents: A CTA bus driver was beaten on the 100 block of North Michigan when he stopped his vehicle to inspect it for damage after he heard a loud noise around 8:50 p.m., according to a CPD statement.

SNIP

Listening to the assembled crowd jabbering and jeering like hyenas is deeply disturbing. These people have reverted to a world without brakes—and when I say brakes I meant the twin brakes of morality, which creates control from within, and law enforcement, which asserts control from without.

Culture? What culture? Those who had it left the city a long time ago.

Since then...well, even prisons have a "culture".

The only Crime in Chicago is not wearing a Face Mask. The idiot Mayor refuses to comment on the explosion of crime downtown. Instead, worthless Mayor Lighthead has her storm troopers raid local businesses to fine and ticket the owners for not enforcing her crazy face mask laws.

Destroy Downtown = No Problem - Not Wearing a Face Mask = You will be arrested

Was going to make a similar observation.

Anything that doesn’t allow for the feral “Thug Life” Culture to do whatever barbarity it wants... Is somehow “White Supremacy”.

Ok. Fine. Whatever. A term that does not fit the definition it is being used for loses the punch.

If certain sub-Cultures cannot behave themselves, and are bent on theft and destruction, then they need to be ended. Period. Preferably at the hands of their intended victims. “Rooftop Koreans” writ over and over.

I think Andrea misses the point

The reason for being liberal is to free one’s self and surroundings of morals. Morals are the true enemy of real freedom. Victorian restraints and morals must be destroyed.

Not for much longer.

Chicago will never vote in any mayor who wants to be tough on crime. Period. They will most likely be a Republican, and most of the voting age population would rather have crime skyrocket than elect one of those (obviously). They might try “entitlement” reform, and that can’t be allowed.

It’s the same reason Democrats have a super majority in Congress here. Free sh!t (by which I mean, “free”).

When certain demographics reach a certain level it’s over.
