Well, the sun came up again today, so that means we have to publish yet another story about the seemingly endless string of nightly armed robberies in Chicago.
Once again, Chicago police officers radioed that they had located the robbers driving around the area. And, once again, Chicago police supervisors ordered the cops to terminate efforts to pull the robbers over.
Near West’s robberies are up 50% this year. Last week, the district had 26 robberies, up 100% from the same week last year. In the 28 days ending July 30, the district had 94 robberies, up 77% from 2022.
Last month, Ald. Daniel La Spata (1st) assured residents that Chicago police had a “concrete and collaborative plan” to address the ongoing robbery problem, even as police say just one of the roving bands of criminals may be responsible for more than 60 holdups.

Yesterday some Freeper wrote "New York is not America," essentially writing off NYC.
Conservatives have also written off Los Angeles (my town), San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, Minneapolis, Detroit, Memphis, and other cities I forget.
We can't win if we keep writing off cities and states. Yeah, we took back Florida. But we're losing more territory than we're winning. Texas is going purple.
No, I don't have a solution. But fleeing to an ever shrinking portion of the country that's red is no longterm solution. The demographics are working against us.
Notice in the article, its was “men” committing all the crimes. No further description other than venturing to admit their Kia was black. Is that all that was black? Being a Chicago cop must be easy work these days, clock in every morning, hang around and chase no criminals, clock out. Avoid the hassles and go home every night.
wonder how much of it police supervisors get?
“America, too. There needs to be vigilantism by the common citizenry if government fails to fulfill their obligations to safety.”
True if you are in some places. But in giant swaths of America they will spare no effort to ruthlessly enforce every law they can find against someone who defends their self. And the worst places in America is where this happens.
—”Hey, leave me outta dis - I ain’t gettin’ busted just for doin’ my job.”
Exactly why the guys will need to do a careful review of every word in their eleven pages of instructions.
And yes, they will need some coffee to stay sharp with such a boring task.
—”There needs to be vigilantism by the common citizenry if government fails to fulfill their obligations to safety.”
That movie was a bit of fantasy fiction; never happen.
Possible, yes; probable, not at all.
Next stop dystopia.
A couple of doughnuts would be nice as well . . .
And maybe not even that much...
Police Refuse To Help Man Who Tracked His Stolen Motorcycle Because It’s Not In Plain Sight
“According to Woods, the officer wouldn’t even walk down the alley with him. “He wasn’t on the scene for two minutes,” said Woods. “I asked him if he could take me through the alley or anything of that nature just to do a safety check or assist. They denied and they said I don’t see it in plain sight that they can’t help me.”
Yep, if you’re a cop, easy, safe, hassle-free money.
Yep - redistribution of wealth.
It’s the new mayor’s mindset.
Out West, when government cares more about some savage critters than a ranchers livelihood, they say: Shoot, shovel, shut up.
In the burbs nowadays, that’s now: Shoot, leave em, shut up. No cell phone, wear a hoodie, gloves, sunglasses, a Covid mask... scoot...
Hoodies might replace those MAGA hats soon.
The democrat mayor doesn’t want his crime statistices to ‘look bad’ because it’ll stop companies from coming to Chicago.
So the BIG LIE is official - it’s NOT a crime unless someone gets caught so ‘don’t catch criminals and our crime rate goes down’.
These folks are so smart it’s breathtaking...
The bimbos and pretentious men of the press pretend not to notice and support the nutty progressive running the city. They’re sure this is Trump’s fault...somehow or other...
Trump’s followers all 75 million are members of a cult and can’t see who Trump
really is, right?
Soon to be more crime, more criminals more misery, more deaths... but Chicago will Vote Biden... and democrats will continue to run the city so all’s well with the people who matter.
It’s terrible what black people endure. The government freebies are not enough.
