How nice. The mayor of Chicago wants to prevent violence, and has hired someone for the job of preventing violence?
I have doubts but would love to be proven wrong, and see this guy prevent violence.
Finally a solution to all the violent guns roaming the streets of chiraq. Thanks so much lori light-in-the-loafers. Fidiots!
A payoff to the gangs.
That does it. Murder rates will DROP. Mark my word, putting 130,000 behind this gal from Jamaica is a good fix. They shoud have done this a long time ago.

In addition to the fat oriental lady?
"Hey Mon! Don't hurt each other....unless he's white or wearing a red hat mon!"
Hahahaha! Chicongo.
Good one.
Never heard that before :)
Apparently hiring a local long time anti violence worker that has had zero local results over the years.
nice to see chicago finally outlaw violence. ROTFLMAO
The chance of going to jail in Chicago is near nil for a drive-by. The folks in the Hood wont talk and police are powerless. Trump said earlier he wanted to use federal resources that is the only solution.
So far, the 2019 homicide clearance rate is 9.5% (not a typo)
All chicago stats here (including the clearance rate):
She will announce her ground breaking program,”stop the violence” posters, ads and nothing more for 130K and lori’s chance to make time with her
Well, that problem is solved.
