Next in line is Rabine, the founder of the Rabine Group and owner of 13 businesses. His road-paving company is hitting the highway and getting out of Chicago, he said.

“We would do thousands of jobs a year in the city, but as we got robbed more, my people operating rollers and pavers we got robbed, our equipment would get stolen in broad daylight and there would usually be a gun involved, and it got expensive and it got dangerous,” Rabine told Fox News this week.

Will the last person leaving Chicago please turn out the lights.

If only we could find some strong correlation between crime and the people committing the crimes.

Maybe some day…

concesled carry is legal. Shoot the robbers. allow Operators to shoot and kill attackers

“concesled carry is legal. Shoot the robbers. allow Operators to shoot and kill attackers”

You can be sure his insurance companies won’t allow it.

They must have been a non-union paving company. If they had been a union shop, they would get protection from the Mob

Rabine just lost his bid for republican governor in Tuesday’s primary. He’s a good guy.

[Old Grumpy]

Chicago DESERVES to lose the good guys. They keep electing worthless commie-types to run their city . . .

[1Old Pro]

Chicago DESERVES to lose the good guys.

It's the only thing that will wake people up to these Dem loser mayors - having the revenues dry up and completely crashing the cities.

[bigbob]

So, if he had won the Republican nomination for Governor instead of coming in 4th with only 7% of the vote, would he be doing this?

Sour grapes, is all this is.

[Flick Lives]

… my people operating rollers and pavers we got robbed

Wow. You’d think the perps might worry about being flattened.

[SkyDancer]

Will be deemed a racist since Chicago has a black mayor?

[Boomer]

I disagree. He ran for Governor to try to change the awful crime climate in Chicago. That was plan A.

So now he moves on to plan B which is to get the eff out of the pit.

Sometimes we just have to know when to say when.

[CopperTop]

"..Will be deemed a racist since Chicago has a black mayor?.."

Not directed at you SD, but do any of us actually GAFF if we're called "racist" anymore since the base qualifier has been reduced to simply having light skin or an opposing view? With the accusers being the "bigger" racist since everything is now about race/politics?
I think not. I know I don't care about that anymore.

"It's played... sooo played.." d;^)

Seruzawa- Nice. d:^D

[dfwgator]

Or as I say, “I wasn’t a racist until you started calling me one.”

[Dr. Sivana]

If only we could find some strong correlation between crime and the people committing the crimes.

The number of black people in Chicago is down, way down. But crime continues to go up. The majority who are NOT criminal have been leaving for better places. Columbus, Georgia has a lot more black people per capita, and a lot less crime.

[Osage Orange]

Is there even a Mob anymore????
