I am a Giodono’s (spelling) guy myself. Sibling lives just up the road from them.

“Chicago doesn’t have a gun problem. They will not admit what the real problem is.”


They can’t even say what the real problem is. They have within their population, a group of people who care very little about the worth of other people’s lives—people willing and able to kill over just about anything—shoes, color of clothing, color of skin, the look on ones face—anything. But under no circumstances can these people be blamed and shamed for their actions. Even arresting them and locking them up is now considered extreme.

Far easier to blame guns and gun dealers.

Wasn’t there a story recently “Many take buyouts to leave jobs at Chicago Sun Times?”

Put it on sale for $1 and see if there are no takers as with the first try at Newsweek. Which also should be out of print forever.

I’m from Boston, so I totally understand.

I love the city of my birth and childhood, but they are SO liberal now.

Pizzeria Uno and across the street “Due”, both owned by the same people were the highlight of my trips to IBM schools in Chicago. probably 1980 or thereabouts...

However one of the few times I have been concerned for my safety was on a return trip, walking, back to the hotel on Michigan Avenue... Someone fell in behind me and followed my turns... My short legs went into high gear and made the most direct route back to Michigan Avenue.

FWIW, the other place I was really concerned was East Saint Louis... I got lost looking for a restaurant and ended up in the heart of “no place for a white boy to be”. The people were radiating hate toward us. That was the last time I left home to foreign states without protection in the vehicle...

Joe, dude,
you and your friends set down your
Nanzi&GrifftersCo.
specialty Marx flavoured
ice cream cups
and try and listen mmmK ?

And put the nuke down too.

We have zero interest
in eliminating our Constitutional Republic
via violence or insurrection.

( that’s your schtik )

Our Goal is
the preservation
of said. U.S. Government.

And that involves removing the infiltrated agents
of Domestic and Foreign C(CP)communists
from positions of U.S. authority and influence

through Constitutionally legal use of our
1st. amendment
protected free speech , rights of redress,
investigations,
trials , conviction , sentencing ,
in relation to a coordinated attack
upon the citizens and government
of our country
via bioweapons
and voter and election fraud.

In short, you have the situation bass akwards.

Quit useing your crime as an aliby
to hang your crimes on our necks.

Now, with that said, finish your ice cream cup,
ask to have your diaper changed
cuz I can smell your kaka corruption
and complicity through my internet connection.

mmmmmK ?

Oh,
and quit threatening
your own constituents
and citizens

with nukes

it kinda gives your loyalties away
to any person with 2 moral brain cells.

And keep your mitts off our 2nd amendment under the guise of preventing the violence you enable and encourage by infringing our second amendment.

What a moron.

> I’m from Chicago! But I don’t live there anymore.

Well I know of 748 people that quit living there in 2020.
It’s on a rate to surpass that number this year.

Ah, yes...the "Look". The look that says "I'd kill you if I thought I could get away with it".

Stop and frisk. Charge and convict felons in possession of a gun and give them 1-10 years depending on their prior record.

The second amendment does not bar freed felons from the right to keep and bear arms. Anyone who can not be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.

Using the weapon illegally should be the standard, not possessing it.

The federal approach to ending drugs flowing into big cities worked so well.....

Should have been poisoning the $hit when interdicted, then letting it go on its way. Dead junkies don't rob anyone.

Well, it sounds like as many people are moving out is roughly equal to the number of people getting killed so far.

Very, very sad.

Chicago is a great city; I’m thinking of the Frank Sinatra song. But Lightfoot has destroyed it.

She doesn’t even look like a serious person, with her ridiculous green cowboy hat.

They think gang bangers will stop killing if you take away guns. I bet you a million dollars the killings would continue with cars, fists, feet, knives, bats, sticks, stones, etc.

It’s intentional. Biden’s thugs support crime. Gives them the excuse they need to federalize police forces...

If enough cops choose to retire - and not enough people apply to replace them, standards will be lowered, mistakes will be made and the commies in DC will push to federalize police forces. They will become one more thug/commie arm of the democrat party...

Democrats:

De-fund police.

Let criminals out of jail before their victims are out of the hospital.

Encourage foreigners to break into our country.

Steal elections

Teach racial hatred with CRT commie lies

Fight for ‘the right’ to do easier voter fraud...

Is it really a surprise Joe Biden’s a bully?

That his son’s a 50 year old teenage criminal...

That liberals deny the ‘root cause of inner city crime is BLACK CRIMINALS AND TOXIC INCENTIVES not guns.....

That corrupt press toadies gives democrat thugs passes in exchange for ‘dem war room news packets’? (when the coin of the realm is information, bribes come in the form of ‘intelligence/illegal leaks’.

Wow! That sounds like a narrow escape.

I had a similar experience. When I was in my ‘20s, I was going to the University of Chicago. I noticed a bike path along the lake. I knew that there was one further north.

So I bicycled home.

Come to find out that the path stopped just north of Hyde Park. So I had to take to the streets. Right in the middle of the ghetto.

I was cycling by a house with a bunch of black guys sitting on the porch, shower caps on their heads, drinking Colt .45.

“Hey, Snow!” they shouted.

I have never ridden my bicycle faster.
