“For many of these kids, some of whom had no prior involvement in the criminal justice system, this was pure boredom,”

Photo accompanying the article:

Must be all those bored White Kids committing these violent carjackings.

DENIAL is the most dangerous thing there is.

Why not link it to salmonella or maybe ice hockey, how about the new Ford Maverick truck...hell, link it to anything..it don’t matter anymore.......stupid fool.

[Da Coyote]

She’s a dumbASS.
Period.
There’s a lot of that going around in DemocRAT cities.

[Little Ray]

It isn’t denial. Its CYA.
Chicago’s problems are due entirely to the absurd policies of Lezzie Leadfoot, her city government, her DA, and, of course, to a certain group of Chicagoans.
It can’t be fixed without first doing a complete tear-down.

Sure can jump through a lot of hoops for a rodent

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Now that Lightfoot knows the cause she should return the schools to normal operations. No mask and no vaxx for the kiddies.

[throwthebumsout]

I think that it is due to climate change.

Remote learning sucks

[Leaning Right]

The kids who have no interest in remote learning are the exact same ones who would be truant when regular school was in session.

Carjacking is up because enforcement of the law is down. Kid A hears that kid B stole a car, and got released in an hour. So kid A decides to give it a try too.

Lightfoot certainly knows this. But she’s gotta stay on PC message.

The Ewoks are ashamed of how stupid she is

[midwest_hiker]

So is the mayor blaming car jackings on the Teachers Union????

[GOPJ]

Yep, bored white kids walking home from a Church Prayer Meeting...

[kickstart]

That can't be a real photo. There are no West VA trailer parks in Shitcago.

[Wuli]

She’s now toast in Chicago. GOPers and Independents and “moderate” Dims can’t stand her and now she has the biggest “progressive” force in Chicago mad at her - the teachers union.

Larry may have stumbled onto something.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

this lady is mentally addled. She does not have a clue as to what is going on. I cannot believe people voted for her.

[Vaduz]

Lightfoot abuses the privilege of stupidity

[The Great RJ]

Like the kiddie criminals committing these car jackings were in school anyway.

Root cause of all these is that American politics go by morality, not by merits. Due to slavery history, whites lost moral superiority to blacks. American politics go with it to elect blacks, regardless of merits. Unfortunately, the nature of public office still requires officials to execute duties, which requires merits they don’t have.
