The solution is so obvious. Fire 30% of the cops for not getting the jab.

No, the answer is get more cops to quit by forcing them to take a vaccine they do not want.

LESS COPS = LESS CRIME

Get rid of CASH bail. That will help too.

And she and other liberals say Chicago has a gun violence problem because nearby Indiana has lax gun laws.

We aren’t allowed to discuss some of the key issues because of political correctness, fear of being called racist, etc.

I’ve stated this before and I’ll state it again.

Nothing is going to change until the violence creeps into Limousine Liberal land of the North Side. Until then, they’ll keep voting Dem because they are so much smarter and so progressive.

We’ll know they are fed up when Lori Lightfoot is voted out.

Only to be replaced with an equally dim witted democrat.

Well, did you vote for this Mayor and DA? If so, you know where to look.

Whatever you feel about Rudy Giuliani, when he was Mayor of NY mid-late 1990s and put more police on the streets and cracked down on even small crime - it worked. I’ll give him credit where credit is due on that issue.

It's not just "the baddest part of town" any more.

Happening in Philadelphia too. At one point the thought of being shot never crossed my mind since I didn't make a habit of robbing drug dealers.

Now, with the third or fourth generations of completely ferral goons roaming the streets, convinced that they entitled to something from whitey and knowing there will be no consequences, it's on my mind.

Rudy was the best mayor NYC had in my memory.

He cleaned up NYC. Especially the mid town area. He made Times Square into an area you could bring your kids. As opposed to a place that was full of Peep Shows, hookers and drug addicts.

Blumberg went he further with the “Stop and Frisk”. He got rid of the petty crime scum that took advantage of the tourists and others.

Now, I would not even consider going there.

“How do you suggest that we engage this problem going forward?”
Well, Mr Jones, many articles and books have been written about stopping the self inflicted genocide. Try one.

When I lived in downtown Chicago 5 or 6 years ago (across from the Cadillac Theater), I used to walk though the downtown area day and night with no fear.

Today I doubt I would be so sanguine.
