The question is whether this increase is hitting among those who voted for Johnson - white liberals from the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, etc.

They’re the ones who deserve it most.

That is 226% of the previous level if reported the jest and the terms of an ‘R’ being the subject matter.
Most educationated dims don’t understand that it’s not just 26%.

Get a car with a standard transmission. A very good car theft device.

Yes. Chicago is pretty safe for the tourists. Don’t travel too far south of Museum Campus, or west of Humboldt Park, and you’re going to be perfectly fine, 99.98% of the time.

It’s perfect timing to visit. We’ve had pleasant 75-degree weather, the water temps for the Lake have stuck around 70-72 degrees for swimming, and the city is alive with summer activity. Folks disparage this city far too often for my liking...

Brandon is doing a great job as a foolish Marxist Dem Mayor of Chi.

Are you telling them to bike the trail or something? lol

It’s a nice route. Start in the north shore, like in Lake Forest. Pack your family a daypack of snacks and water. Plot out the route...it’s about 35 miles to the Loop!

You can take a quick snack break outside of the Ba’hai temple in Wilmette, proceed into Evanston for a tour of a stupid college town with a college that has too much of the prime real estate, and continue on into the city’s Gold Coast. You will hug the coastline of Lake Michigan the rest of the way to the museum campus.

I love it so much I’ll do that trip three or four times a summer if time permits.

Here in Memphis they hijack cars only after they have filled up with gasoline. Then they drive, thrash, and crash your car until 1/8 tank. Then they leave that car and carjacking another at another gas station.

Repeat. They don't even apply bail or charge them when caught. They use a gun to steal your car, too. Nothing.......

Well that’s all well and good if you have to means to be able to stay away from those bad areas. Sucks for everybody else, though.

Most blacks in Memphis won’t admit that crime is out of control. I get chastised often by blacks living in Memphis when I describe the crime in that city. But that is SOP for liberals and Democrats to ignore what is destroying them. I was living too close to Memphis (80 miles) and the crime from there is bleeding out into the adjacent cities. Jackson, Tennessee, has become just a mirror image of Memphis.

Crime Prevention list of ruses:

Common carjacking ruses include:

(1) bumping the victim’s vehicle from behind, and taking the car when the victim gets out of the vehicle to assess damage and exchange information;
(2) staging a fake car accident, sometimes with injuries, and stealing the vehicle of a passerby who stops to assist;

(3) flashing lights or waving to get the victim’s attention, indicating that there is a problem with the victim’s car, and then taking the car once the victim pulls over; and

(4) following a victim home, blocking the victim’s car in a driveway or in front of a gate.

They are conditioned to blame whitey for everything even though they represent 83% of the populaion, and almost all politicians and appointed city management.
