Since Friday evening, 45 people were shot in the city of Chicago. So far, eight of those shot have been reported dead. The shootings follow a crime wave in Chicago and Democratic cities across the country. Shootings are up 220% in Chicago compared to last year, according to the Chicago Sun Times. The city is on pace to have its worst violent crime wave in 25 years. The murder rate is set to increase yet again this year following a 30 percent increase in 2020.
Efforts to defund the police continue to intensify despite the nationwide uptick in violent crime. The city of Minneapolis voted on a measure to defund the police and replace it with a “Department of Public Safety” on Wednesday, the measure was supported by almost 44% of the city’s residents. Though the movement continues to gain traction, some Democratic Minnesota politicians have admitted it may be a mistake in the face of the national crime wave. “I think allowing this moniker, ‘Defund the police,’ to ever get out there, was not a good thing,” said Minnesotta Attorney General Keith Ellison (D).
The crime surge in Democrat-led cities has occured in tandem with a crime surge near the border. The Heritage Foundation notes “As FBI Director Christopher Wray recently made clear, the chaos at the border is causing a crisis that is allowing drug smuggling, human trafficking, and gang activity to flourish there—and to spread elsewhere, too.” Despite violent crime surging at the border, the Biden administration has backed payments to illegal immigrants in a DOJ settlement. The Biden backed settlements come on the heels of a massive surge in illegal immigration, with CBP officials saying that arrests have reached an all-time high.
How about we start calling “gun violence” and “democrat violence” what it really is: BLACK violence.
“MAYBE THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY DEFUND THE POLICE.... THEIR CRIME PROBLEMS WOULD QUICKLY RESOLVE THEMSELVES!..............”
It’s called settling out of court.
“It’s called settling out of court.”...
The basketball court, that is......................
The people of Chicago don’t care. Its political class doesn’t care, the Mayor certainly doesn’t care.
Why should I care?
Sunday morning 2:15 AM I was awakened by two or more Hellcats(?) chase each other around my North Minneapolis neighborhood shooting machine guns at each other. Well over 200 shots and it went on for half an hour.
Several cars up the block had brand new bullet holes in them. I’m sure the houses caught more.
Getting tired of this crap.
“Several cars up the block had brand new bullet holes in them. “
As opposed to ‘old bullet holes’?..............
Soros: “Everything is going according to plan.”
“As opposed to ‘old bullet holes’?..............”
Yes, there is a difference. Old ones tend to rust quickly.
When I was stationed in the desert they didn’t!...................
Excellent! ... Chicago remains number one! ... Exactly what Chicago citizens want!
I’m sorry. Who would ever have thought - in Minnesota. SMH
All dem controlled cities should close down their police departments and staff the precincts with BLM and antifa thugs. Set back and watch the slaughter.
They need to keep a tabulation of killed and wounded. Have a competition to see which city has the highest violence rate PER CAPITA. Each year the winner will receive a statuette of Saint Skittles of the Purple Drank noting the achievement and the year.
“As opposed to ‘old bullet holes’?..............”
In ADDITION to old bullet holes.
This is a taboo subject. We aren’t allowed to talk about black youth gangs and their violence. Nobody wants to talk about loud about that, for fear of being called racist.
There is only one Crime in Chicago! Not wearing a Face Mask! Mayor Lighthead sent out Fifty [50] City agents last week to ticket and fine businesses that were not enforcing the idiotic Chicago Face Mask mandate.
Worthless Mayor Lighthead also announced that the Mask Mandate would be in force well into 2022. Even the far left liberal Restaurant owners on the North Side are questioning this policy. Shot on the streets - no problem! Not wearing a piece of paper from China on your face and you are in big trouble!
I hear on the WLS radio 8AM news that the count was upped to 47 shot, 9 killed.
What about bag limits?(like ducks)
Democrats can’t count.....................
Isn’t the Chicago weekend shootings just a outcrop of CRT & Biden’s “you ain’t black enough”?
