In the days when the safety of citizens and orderly cities were a priority.

Gone are those days, thanks to Democrats.

It really is remarkable (and not in a good way) how completely the Democrat party has changed. People like Truman and Daley have been replaced by people like Bernie Sanders and AOC.

The most sensible person on the Democrat side is now John Fetterman. That’s says a lot.

Imagine: Chicago LEO sees a person (most likely a man) with a lit Molotov cocktail, using a two-liter glass bottle. Bottle drops, breaks, flames spread, and starts The Great Chicago Fire of 1995. It would put Catherine O’Leary cow from two centuries ago to shame.

Mayor Daley, Frank Rizzo - Democrats who knew how to handle the extremes within their own party.

I remember those days! Especially the 1968 DEMOCRAT Convention when the police really cracked heads! The later REPUBLICAN convention was a snooze fest in comparison.

—”Democrats who knew how to handle the extremes within their own party.”

Nice, now if only I can recall your line when needed.

Daley was known to ask the wing nuts about their programs and mission statements to shut them up, and it worked.

They used to say that the three most influential people of the time were Nixon, Daley, and the Pope, but not in that order.

Now a days demcrats ‘pay off’ their thug ‘protesters’ with the promise of lots to loot. And democrat’s press butt boys? They’ll say it’s peaceful - while buildings burn in the background.

—”They’ll say it’s peaceful - while buildings burn in the background.”

In nearby Chicago, the mayor’s brain trust lets be known, not to worry, insurance will cover the damage.

Water Tower Place a prime Chicago shopping center, is selling the upper floors, limiting retail to the first three floors. IF they can find a buyer???
Such a deal.

Ken Grffin moved his $$$38 billion Citadel hedge fund to Florida from Chicago.

“In September, there was a carjacking outside the governor’s Astor Street mansion — one of four in the Gold Coast that month. Downtown shootings are up 220 percent this year. Griffin says he counted 25 bullet holes in a window of a storefront where he lives, and someone “tried to carjack the security detail” outside his building”

Not to worry, insurance will cover it?
