Chicago Alderman Sounds Alarm About Bloody Fourth of July Weekend: ‘This Is a War Zone
Breitbart ^ | July 5,2021 | JOSHUA CAPLAN5

on Fox & Friends First, Chicago Alderman Anthony Napolitano (R) compared the Democrat-run city to a “war zone” following a violent Fourth of July weekend.

HOST: [Chicago Mayor] Lori Lightfoot [D] has made statements saying that illegal guns are the problem in the city. What do you think?

ANTHONY NAPOLITANO: I think that’s pure nonsense. We have the strongest and the strictest gun laws in the state, if not the country. If you go to our surrounding borders right now, where we’re supposedly getting all the guns from, they have nowhere near the amount of crime as we do. We have a people problem here in Chicago. I’ve been saying that for a long time. We have zero accountable ability for people in Chicago. Nobody is raising their kids anymore; the gangs are raising them.

“We have a state’s attorney who is by far the worst in the nation and it’s all a trickledown effect,” he concluded

Hey Alderman, just give it a few more months and all the thugs will have off’d themselves and Chicago can return to being a family-friendly town. Your mayor says she likes the way its trending.

The fact is that black people are killing black people.

But it’s racist to say so.

So blame the guns.

We have a people problem here in Chicago.

Yeah, you have to identify the problem before firing off a solution.

Now, define the "people problem" If you try you will be called a racist and banned.

This alderman is only speaking up now because the business community is about to go Galt. At the end of the day, these Aldermen don't care; they all live in tony townhouses or mansions on Chicago's wealthy Northside or in the collar suburbs.

Tourist dollars to Navy Pier and other Chicago events and attractions have probably declined drastically, and Mayor Beetlejuice's ongoing COVID restrictions didn't help either.

Mayors like Lightfoot, Bowser, and Bottoms are probably going to be the last of the black Democrat Mayors. That is why the DNC is trying to rob Adams of his victory. Because black Democrats are so corrupt and incompetent that they bring down the party as a whole, and the D's can't have that. They need white Democrats like Richard Daley who was still corrupt but at least kept a lid on crime and made sure things like trash collection ran on time.

BTW this Alderman is an Independent. IL doesn’t require political party affiliations.

Not a very good kill ratio. They obviously need more practice.

“And this monstrosity was a federal prosecutor?”

Ask her how many black gang bangers for illegal possession of a firearm sometime.

Hilarity will ensue.

Blacks are now told that nothing is their fault and that white people owe them and free everything, including a huge chunk of “reparations” cash. No wonder that the worst of them go on these shooting rampages.

But for the innocent bystanders, I have no sympathy. Let the thugs kill each other.
