The Fox News analyst whose brother was fatally shot in Chicago last month told The Post that Monday’s mass parade shooting outside the Windy City is another example of “soft-on-crime” policies gone awry.
Gianno Caldwell, whose 18-year-old brother, Christian Beamon, was slain by a gunman June 24, said he was trying to take his mind off his sibling’s still-unsolved slaying while at a beach in south Florida on Monday when he learned about the country’s latest mass killing.
“The ‘defund the police’ mantra has become like a disease that’s spreading from the inner cities to suburbs everywhere,” Caldwell told The Post of Monday’s bloodbath at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park about 25 miles north of Chicago.
“The idea of defunding the police and reallocating those funds comes with a mentality that criminals are embracing, which is that the police can’t touch me,” Caldwell said. “[Criminals] don’t fear [police officers] because [cops] are handicapped from doing their jobs.”
Residents in Chicago, where Caldwell, 35, grew up, no longer feel safe just going outside, he said.
“People in Chicago now fear doing their daily activities,” the TV analyst said. “That means going to work, going to school, going to the grocery store. Individuals don’t know if they’re number is going to be called next and be the person getting shot and murdered.”
The terrible optics of a holiday parade no longer being safe to the public should prompt changes in Highland Park, a wealthy enclave, Caldwell said.
“These folks are going to demand changes immediately,” he said of the Chicago suburb’s affluent locals. “This is where millionaires and billionaires in Illinois live. If they can’t feel safe at a parade, the next election is going to be brutal. They’ve got to reverse these soft-on-crime policies.”

Must mean their soft on guns policy in the area? /S
Unforgivable, he is right. If the government(s) don’t change the criminals are kings policies, the days of The Wild Wild West will be back.
another example of “soft-on-crime” policies gone awry. “””
Yeah. Usually it works real good but some damn thing went wrong this one time…
You will not see this take anywhere else that’s for sure.
The effects of soft-on-crime isn’t “going awry”, it’s deliberate. Complete disintegration of civil society to pave the way for the left-wing dystopian Stalinazi “Great Reset” and disposal of the Constitution tomorrow. A means to an end.
The Wild Wild West was never this bad, this lawless, and this evil.
Soft on crime is bad - no question.
But I don’t think THIS shooting is the result of soft on crime policies.
They’re supposedly searching for a long haired white male 18-20.
This is AntiFa and this parade story will quickly disappear like Wakuesha Parade story.
Vigilanteeusm was big in the Old West.
the soft woke, of allowed murder...
If the killer is Antifa, BLM and Antifa are the ‘militia wing’ of the Democrat Party. Hence that is the reason they were not shut down. Soft on Crime. Soft on Antifa. It can all be tied back.
FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

Six dead, a bunch more hurting, and all he can think about is an upcoming election. Probably a lib, fearing for his compadres.
Nope.
Vigilantism....sheesh.
You might want to look into some background about this guy before spouting this nonsense.
