After O’Brien blames Foxx for killing of Walgreens employee, her campaign says rival is taking page from ‘Trump playbook’
The Chicago Sun-Times ^ | January 13, 2020 | Tom Schuba

Pat O’Brien, Republican candidate for Cook County state’s attorney, blamed Democratic incumbent Kim Foxx Sunday for the fatal stabbing of an employee at a Walgreens store in Wicker Park, prompting her campaign to accuse O’Brien of “fear mongering” and taking a page out of President Donald Trump’s “playbook.”

Last Sunday, 18-year-old Sincere Williams allegedly entered the Walgreens store at 1372 N. Milwaukee and repeatedly stabbed employee Olga Marie Calderon, a 32-year-old mother of two who was killed, officials reported.

O’Brien said Williams was arrested in May and charged as a juvenile in a burglary at a Melrose Park gun shop, adding that he was released from electronic home monitoring just days before the killing.

“[Foxx has] given more legal protection and consideration to people that commit crimes than the people who are victims of crimes or potentially the victims of crimes,” O’Brien said during a news conference in front of the Walgreens store. “In this case, her failure to object and require the electronic monitoring may have cost Ms. Calderon her life.”

Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the state’s attorney’s office, confirmed prosecutors “did not object” to Williams’ release from electronic monitoring “based on specific information presented to the court.”

Before Williams was ordered held without bail Wednesday. Officials have also said Williams was a suspect in two recent robberies in Wicker Park, one of which took place at the Walgreens where Calderon was slain.

O’Brien called on Foxx to “explain her actions” in the murder case.

“It is the role and the duty of the state’s attorney’s office to speak for us, to speak for victims,” O’Brien said. “They have no voice. Ms. Calderon has no voice. She won’t be able to go back to her children. She won’t be able to raise them. And that’s on Ms. Foxx.

A significant factor in escalating crime rates in Chicago and suburban Cook County, Illinois is the laxity of the George Soros sponsored prosecutor, Kim Foxx. Criminals are emboldened by Foxx's repeated refusal to prosecute many of those arrested by the police.

all these leftist judges, prosecutors, and politicians have the blood of thousands dripping from their hands. How many of the criminals let out of jails and prisons all over the country “to prevent the spread of COVID among the prisoners” went on to rob, rape, or murder innocent, law abiding citizens?

No decent, rational person should voluntarily live, locate a business or invest in an urban area controlled by a Democrat governor, a Democrat mayor, a Democrat city council and a Democrat DA. Such places are unlivable. Anyone with children who voluntarily lives in such places is loathsome.

It is worth remembering that Kenosha, Wisconsin was subjected to a week of widescale arson, looting, rioting and multiple shootings because the police were summoned to deal with Jacob Blake who refused to comply with orders to drop a knife.

Blake ought to have been in prison for his criminal activities in suburban Cook County, but Kim Foxx did not prosecute him vigorously for such charges as aggravated battery of a police officer, attempted burglary, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and evading arrest (something that he tried again in Kenosha).

In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .

Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls,..Also did this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3877896/posts and this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3880192/posts

HERE’S HOW THEY TREAT CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT STUFF LIKE THIS

And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress an example is Illinois 3rd district

Todays Democrats weren’t happy with his funding votes against abortion and on being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports.
Those who live in Chicago already voted at their local public library. But in the reshaped 3rd Congressional district Daniel Lipinski lost because of redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd.

That was a district where those city wards were predominatly composed of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway. Those Wards were reliable William O Lipinski supporters of Dan’s father. But since most had areas with hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Gutieriez’s district. Those results are posted below which actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3881650/posts

COULD THIS BE WHY CHICAGOANS ARE SEEING RATS ?
The city of Chicago is composed of 50 wards which average out to around 72 precincts of about 350 or more voters in each precinct. Many are former villages incorporated into the city as the city grew. . A Chicago Alderman is in effect a mini mayor. They have input into who gets city services and now it’s how those services are being administered seem to be running into who’s ward is it ?.

What’s not being looked at is how Chicago wards have been redistricted. Chicago has had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic”residential sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates.Which apparently is the result of the turnover in the Freddie and Fanny mortgage collapse. As stable integrated areas changed into being unstable because of constant dwelling turnover.had the effect of breaking up a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity.

Because the wards affected which are really like small towns have had sections broken up into areas where if a problem arises in a given section of street which has one way traffic only. It may be two way a block down because it’s in a different ward. The same applies to all other city services including zoning where serving socialist ideologic political purposes single dwelling units are removed and replaced by multiple high rise apartments complcating city services such as sanitation where garbage collection routes are organized by ward boundaries. Which disrupts living style where that is permitted to happen
Originally his ward headquarters and palace was on 51st street just west of Damen Avenue. Today’s palace is just off of Pulaski Road near the Madam Curie high school just off of Archer Avenue miles away.

His ward now consists of areas carved from parts of the 12th (known as Mc Kinley Park and Brighton Park) and parts of the 23rd (known as Archer Heights Garfield Ridge and Clearing) wards Miles from the original 14th

That In a former section of the 23rd ward now the 14th ward in the Midway airport area, 2 patrons in a local bar along Archer avenue were heard complaining about rats in their garbage. They felt it was because of the delay in garbage collection. Also heard the same beef about street snow removal. It has also played hell on zoning and because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the administration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $120.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over.

By.employing this concept of remapping are residents are being denied the representation they should have ?

I think “complicity” fits better than “laxity.”
