Isn’t it illegal to stop a crime in Chicago?

That’s a dilemma as old as Gilbert and Sullivan. Forget the name of the operetta. But this is the solution: since he’s committing a crime by stopping a crime, it’s illegal for him to stop himself from stopping the crime.

Unless I misread the article, the driver of the get away car is in the hospital with a head wound.

There were a number of incidents listed in the article, hard to tell where one started and the other picked up.

Oh. But Beetle Juice the Mayor is clearly visible. She must be advertising how great a job she is doing. /sarcasm

In a saner culture private citizens would not be in this spot. When I was young police and our court system protected the innocent from the criminal.

Democrats want the whole country to be a hellhole - a hellhole just like the cities democrats control.
