“I heard a lot of rhetoric here, a lot of soundbites, but not a lot of concrete solutions on how we get the job done and make our residents and our workers safe. We’re doing it every single day,” Lightfoot said.

Someone alert the Nobel committee, Lightfoot is sure to win the Peace Prize for stopping violent crime in Chicago once and for all.

All that has to happen if for street vendors to stop using cash.

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.

It’s the Democrat way.

Portillo’s, a fairly large fast food chain in the Chicago area, stopped the cash option for their drive-thru pickup. They usually have people standing outside taking orders and payments in the line.

Using cash means less taxes go to mayor groot.

And by street vendors, does she mean hookers and drug pushers? This is Chicago after all.

Woke banks need to offer a credit card for illegal street drug purchases.

Wouldn’t it be even better if the street vendors just gave their stuff away? Then there’d be no reason for anybody to rob anyone.
Come on, Mayor Lightfoot. Start thinking outside the box.

Sure, a chip in the back of the hand that can be scanned like a debit card would work great. Right?

Chicago is a horrifying tragedy. Every weekend there are shootings and killings. This tragedy is a direct result of harebrained policies of the Democrat Party and its supporters.

Giving these people the benefit of even the most dubious doubt, they cannot seem to comprehend that good intentions untempered by wisdom and ruthless truth lead inevitably to disaster.

"The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Donald Trump proposed an excellent plan for vitalizing the horrifying, violent and impoverished ghettos of America's inner cities and solving this terrible, heartbreaking problem once and for all.

Democrats opposed this.

Their reasons were obvious:

(1) They hate Donald Trump because they fear and hate truth and anyone who speaks truth, and Donald Trump speaks truth, and truth interferes with their self-serving agenda.

(2) Democrat Politicians do not want any real solution to the problems responsible for America's horrifying, violent and impoverished ghettos because from them they derive enormous wealth and power.

(3) The last thing Democrat Politicians want is for Donald Trump--or anyone who is not their supporter and lackey--and especially anyone who speaks truth--to solve and get credit for solving the problem of America's horrifying, violent and impoverished ghettos.

Yes, this is harsh judgment, but the Democrat Party deserves harsh judgment.

Brilliant. Next women can reduce the rape problem with Krazy Glue.

I suggest Lori Lightfoot stop using words so she won’t sound stupid.

I can help: Catch criminals, convict them, and punish them. Build bigger jails until Darwin affects long term behavior change. Second, promote Conservative values. Third, make it a business friendly city so that people can find jobs. You’re welcome.

Don’t blame it on the street vendors accepting cash. They aren’t the ones doing the drivebys. Chicago has had a crime epidemic for centuries. Chicago IS a crime epidemic. Always has been.

BY FAR, the number one thing Lori Lightfoot can do to counter crime in Chicago is resign. Until that happens, there is no need to have a conversation about crime in Chicago.
