I'd bet most of those well-heeled liberals can't wait to vote to re-elect Lori Lightfoot later this month.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A 25-year-old Chicago woman was charged in connection with a shooting on the CTA Red Line in the Loop over the summer, Chicago police said Tuesday.
Latrice Harvey was charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm after being identified as one of the suspects who, on Aug. 27, shot and seriously injured a 30-year-old woman, CPD said.
The Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested her Monday near her home in the 3600-block of West North Avenue.
Shots were fired on the train as it approached the State and Lake station at about 12:09 a.m., police said. The 30-year-old woman was hit in the knee after a verbal confrontation with the shooter.
The victim was rushed to Northwestern Hospital. She could not tell police any information about why the argument started, authorities said.
The shooting caused chaotic moments for other CTA passengers. Witnesses said they found out someone had a gun on the train and moved to another car when shots were fired.
"At that point, everyone was just crammed into one car," said Red Line passenger Carlos Leon.
Red Line trains were rerouted over the Loop and shuttle buses were sent between the Fullerton and State and Lake stations until service resumed, the CTA said in a statement.
Harvey is due in court Tuesday.

They don't get shot or car-jacked in Chicago. Poor blacks or hispanics do. And a bit of chaos affecting others is a small price to pay for total political control
I rode those trains when I was a student there back in the ‘70s.
My, my, my how thinks have changed…
My neighborhood is not diverse and I am fine with that.

Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor
The rats have joined the babies who are sleepin’ on the floor
Now wouldn’t it be a riot if they really blew their tops?
But they got too much already, and besides, we’ve got the cops
And I’m sure it wouldn’t interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
A quote from Phil Ochs is a rarity on this site.
Just keepin’ it real.

Big lefty but it fits modern day liberals. As long as it’s only happening to those lesser folks, why should they care?
