>>Sounds almost a Luke 11:24-26 situation where the original demon was cast out, but came back in bringing seven of its buddies that were even more wicked the original.<<

Not exactly the context there; but definitely an amazing parallel. Congrats!

Apparently the problem is that few people vote. You could argue that they are OK with the result, or they would vote. But I wonder if that’s really what’s going on? Is it more that the opposition is not organized because they are intimidated by the left? They are afraid to take a stand? They need a leader.

NBA players such as Malcolm Brogdon and Jaylen Brown have recently taken up the “don’t incarcerate them” cause. Because relatively many more young blacks commit and are sentenced for crimes, they see it as a racial justice issue. Part of their solution would include counting young thugs as juveniles and thus not eligible for detention until their mid-20s. Of course, that is exactly the population most likely to victimize others with violent crime.

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

Which party runs those communities?

And maybe their always-aggrieved, always-angry mothers encourage them to do this.

The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, “Baa.”

Until the wolf shows up. Then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog.

Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision

In my time it was schools and churches.

Edmund Blackadder describes perfectly the Chicago mayor:
The eyes are open, the lips move, but Mr. Brain has long since departed.

Any entity that remains in Chicago is stupid. That place needs a full regiment of national guard to come in, sweep out the thugs, and restore order.

Even Da Bears are leaving.

I just remember our “spaces” as kids. Primarily, it was our home. Then the immediate neighborhood where we played harmlessly with the other kids living there, under the watchful eye of everyone’s parents. Sometimes we went to camp where councilors were our temporary guardians.

How insulting and demeaning to depict a group as needing constant supervision to keep them from murdering someone.

Why are they lacking opportunities? Do people not live there? Is there simply a dearth of more supremier people who might build communities and businesses? Perhaps they once lived there but moved away for some reason

[wardaddy]

That was the era
I lived it

It’s a far cry from the days when parents told their kids, “Go outside and I don’t want to see you back here until dinner.”

Enjoy the Suck Chicago! You earned it.

Certainly sounds that way....worse than Lightfoot.....he also supports defunding the police. Therefore expect Chicago to have increased crime and lawlessness.... They’re an easy touch for the enemy of mens souls.

“Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision"

I can't start to name the places in Chicago that were once safe, safe until these feral dogs started to screw them up.

There are museums, free concerts, beaches, zoo's, parks all across that once great city, isn't that enough? What do the Youth of Chicago want?

Partying, drug use, whoring are not exactly safe spaces and the adults tend to get as twisted as the kids.

This is all just part of the larger plan to destroy this country one city at a time.

The only businesses that should be in sh*tcongo are booze and drug emporiums where the proprietors are armed and the same race as the thugs.
