Jesus .... they dont want opportunity.... they want free stuff without working for it. Theyd rather rob, shoot and kill their way to “success”. Keep emboldening these pieces of shit. This is the guy they voted for so who cares what happens to these trashbags. Let the city burn.

We already have a problem in Indy with Chi-berians relocating here

Add in a democrat mayor, city council and a Soros prosecutor and we have at least one killing a day and few ever seeing prison

They are just (fatherless, immoral, illiterate, feral) black kids having a little fun and blowing off some steam.

Chicago is getting what it has earned for more than a hundred years. Organized crime Chicago has morphed into anarchy Chicago.

It’s exactly the kind of town in which the locals are delighted to live. Anything goes.

If white kids in MAGA hats had done it, there’d be some demonization going on, you can bet.

Forget about white kids in MAGA hats rioting being demonized, white kids with a few in MAGA hats were libeled, slandered, and demonized after they were harassed by fake Chief Two-Teeth on the Capitol mall in DC.

Yeah, they’re misunderstood “youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.” (Hizz honor’s exact words).

He’ll demand even more money from the feds for such things as “school improvements,” “community centers open 24/7,” and more “social workers” that he thinks will stop the shootings, rioting, looting and burning - as his tax base flees.

To Dream, The Impossible Dream...

This is what you voted for Chicago - enjoy the suck - and the killings.

Year To Date

Shot & Killed: 151
Shot & Wounded: 540
Total Shot: 691
Total Homicides: 160

2022: Total Homicides: 194

“Rowdy teens”? No, they weren’t just rowdy teens. Some of them were shooters, others were committing assault against innocent vehicle occupants, and some were rioters.

It was about 80 F over the weekend in Chicago. This is a preview of what’s to come this summer.

I doubt it. But I have absolutely zero doubt that Chicago did indeed vote for this clown.

I left Downtown Chicago over 6 years ago. I can imagine ever going back there, even to visit.

Are there downtown encampments developing as the weather gets better?

“It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,”

I’m guessing he would have a much harsher assessment of young people peacefully protesting outside a Planned Parenthood clinic .

Wonder if the Mayor-elect can define the line between “rowdy” and “lawless” . . . Saw a headline last night that referred to the thugs not as “teenagers” but as “children”. OK.
