Like Mayor Lightfoot cares. White Lives Don't Matter.

A University of Chicago student blasted Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday for her “blatant lie” that crime was plummeting — just days after a fellow student was killed by a stray bullet on the train.
Audrey Unverferth, a rising senior, said she’s lost confidence in Lightfoot following the violence that besieged Chicago over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. “Lori Lightfoot had the nerve recently to say that crime in Chicago is on the decline — that’s a blatant lie,” Unverferth told “Fox & Friends.” “Crime is not on the decline. Homicide and shooting rates are up and as we’ve seen, Chicago had its most murderous weekend of the year over the Fourth of July. Over 90 people were shot.”
In an op-ed for The Federalist, Unverferth said Lightfoot “should be ashamed” over the fatal shooting of her classmate, Max Solomon Lewis. “His young life was senselessly cut short when his train ride home was interrupted by yet another Chicago shooting,” she wrote. Lewis, a rising junior, had been commuting home from his internship last Thursday when a bullet pierced a window of the train at the 51st Street Green Line station and struck him in the neck, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries on Sunday, the outlet reported. After her classmate Max Solomon Lewis was shot dead, Audrey Unverferth (above) went on “Fox & Friends” and slammed Mayor Lori Lightfoot for saying Chicago crime is on the decline. Fox News.
No suspects or a motive have been identified, but authorities don’t believe that Lewis was the intended target. The incident came before the Fourth of July weekend in Chicago saw at least 100 shootings — including 18 people who died, ABC7 Chicago. ***

Chicago is screwed because someone was tricked into saying her name three times!
“In defense of Mayor Lightfoot, math, numbers, and reality are racist.”
Pointing out that the numbers are racist is meta-racist.
“Chicago is screwed because someone was tricked into saying her name three times!”
Well, THAT explains everything.
How can we possibly come to any working agreement with Dimms like this Mayor Groot when she is perfectly willing to make bald-faced lies because she knows there are no repercussions.
Don’t like facts? Just make up new ones you like better.
An impressive young man whose life was cut short for no damned reason; my heart goes out to his family. But according to “Mayor” Lightfoot, crime in on the decline in Chicago. And, on the economic front, there is no inflation and Biden lets us know we are leaving Afghanistan in good hands, having accomplished what we set out to do - killing bin Laden in 2011 and remaining there for another ten years and spending young lives and a trillion more in taxpayer dollars for good measure.
Groot is the worst mayor in Chicago history.
And there have been some doozies!
I empathize with the student, because in April of 1970, in one of the stairwells of Stamford High School, Stamford, CT, during school hours, a fellow senior girl was found to have been raped and murdered. The sudden shock, fear, and despair of such a victim of a crime, I understand. She was alive 30 minutes before, talking to your’s truly.We were talking future plans, with the military draft for the Vietnam War in operation.
Go to some of the Left Wing Twitter Posts - the Chicago Lunatic Left thinks Lighthead is doing a great job and the gang banging criminals are just youth expressing themselves!
Any idea of what “rising senior” and “rising junior” means in this sad story? I am not familiar with these descriptors. Thanks.
Adorable young man. Pictures make me cry. No one should let their kids attend school in ChiCongo.
LOL-It's funny because her nickname is beetlejuice.....
It is a semester break term. A rising senior is someone who completed their junior year and is about to start senior courses in the next semester. So I think you can figure out “rising junior” now.
