Chicago unveils 'People's Plan for Community Safety' to combat crime

CHICAGO - On Thursday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson revealed his comprehensive strategy, titled the "People's Plan for Community Safety," aimed at tackling crime in the city at its foundational levels.

The mayor emphasized that the initiative adopts a dual approach, focusing on both people and specific locations.

"There is a shattered sense of safety in Chicago that has been driven by decades of purposeful disinvestment in our communities," Mayor Johnson said in a statement. "It is time for a new community safety approach - one that addresses the root of the problem by investing in our people and neighborhoods to secure a safer Chicago for generations to come."

The people-centric aspect of the plan concentrates efforts on those communities most severely affected by violence and historical disinvestment. By addressing the root causes of crime and working to uplift these communities, the goal is to create a positive impact on individuals and reduce the likelihood of involvement in criminal activities.

Pouring tons of other people’s money into these areas makes it easier to steal.

“...the “People’s Plan for Community Safety,”


I’m old enough to remember when ‘The People’s anything’ was a hallmark of communism.

You have an interesting philosophy. I can see this as a possibility, but not a big one.

I’ve been around the block several times and have had a few offers here and there, but never from a poor woman. Typically a woman that just can’t keep her pants on.

How about the families fix themselves and raise kids with morals and values in two parent (father and mother) households and teach them accountability at an early age?

Word salad.

They didn’t even ‘list’ what was in the plan.

Sounds like they are intending an increase of social worker types — on a voluntary basis.

It may look good on paper, but it will likely be another failed leftist plan.

They got their baby and their welfare, maybe even child support. They’re good. Don’t need no gangsta around messin’ up the groove.

“..Simply having the word “peoples” gives a communist ring to it...”

Get the picture?
Yes, we do!!!
That’s all these low-IQ imbeciles know.
They’re not intelligent enough to function in a modern society.

I hope the people that voted for this guy are very happy.

When was the last time Chicago got who the majority voted for?

Probably 1930.

Hang on, lemme fire up the leftist to English translator:

"There is a shattered sense of safety in Chicago that has been driven by decades of purposeful disinvestment in our communities unrelenting Democrat policy and control," Mayor Johnson said in a statement.

"It is time for a new community safety approach even more extreme Democrat policy and control
..."

Hmmm, I might see an issue here...

If you don’t understand the problem you can not solve the problem.

It is clear that they do not understand the problem (or more likely they are pretending to understand the problem).

This will be like every other program created by Democrats - a wealth transfer scheme to enrich themselves, their friends and relatives and will not solve anything.

Crime problems with guns were solved back in 1968! the democrats said so!

I thought all that “Lawlessness and Chaos” was done away with by the Democrats back in 1968!

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-— Lyndon Johnson signing the 1968 gun control act into law.

And Thomas J. Dodd, who wrote the 1968 gun control act using the 1938 Nazi weapons law as a pattern...

“No one can predict how many lives will be spared because of this bill, but, if the bloody record of our yesterdays is any measure, millions of future Americans will live to enjoy the promise of many peaceful tomorrows.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in this great moment in our time.”— Thomas J. Dodd on passage of the 1968 Gun control act.

HOW IS THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU AMERICA! Few mass murders before the mental institutions were closed in the 1970s. Then mass murders took off like a rocket! And semi auto rifles have been around since 1903. Yes, 1903.

"It is time for a new community safety approach - .. by investing in our people and neighborhoods..

The typical Democratic/Communist approach - throw more Tax Payer dollars at programs that always fail.
