SMH SHM SHM...I'll let y'all read and tell me how this helps.

[Uncle Miltie]

Welfare causes fatherlessness causes crime.

That’s the “root cause”.

Anyone willing to cut welfare?

I didn’t think so.

[Graybeard58]

My plan is better.

Arm every law abiding adult citizen.

[Lurker]

“There is a shattered sense of safety in Chicago that has been driven by decades of purposeful disinvestment in our communities.”

Says the chowderhead who is spending millions and millions of taxpayer dollars putting illegal immigrants up in downtown hotels.

You mean that kind of disinvestment, Mr Mayor?

L

[devane617]

Pouring tons of money into these areas is like paying the gang-bangers.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Committees of Safety?
Regulators?
Vigilantes?

Anything else is just lip gloss.

[eyeamok]

At least he isn’t telling black men to step up and actually raise their kids, Baby mama’s rejoice.

“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.”

I checked, Chicago has been run by liberal democrats since forever.
Last republican mayor was in 1931.

Does this dummy not realize he just admitted the left is completely responsible for a ruined city?

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

"There is a shattered sense of safety in Chicago that has been driven by decades of purposeful disinvestment in our communities,"

No, the shattered sense of safety is driven by decades of poor parenting and criminals who get away with their crimes.

[Bon of Babble]

Sound like the same blather from the 60s that didn’t work.

Good luck with that, maybe the right Commies are in charge this time.

Typical response: Throw more tax dollars at the problem and hope it will go away. That’s not a plan. Here’s a plan: Quit coddling criminals, throw them in jail, set real bond rates, and see what happens to crime rates.

decades of purposeful disinvestment in our communities

You mean like stores closing because 1/3 of their inventory disappears every year because of shoplifting and then you arrest the owners if they try to stop it? That kind of "disinvestment"?

[redfreedom]

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

[Noumenon]

It’s all whitey’s fault.

[hanamizu]

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

---

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

[metmom]

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?

[TomGuy]

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.

[Bigg Red]

A load of hogwash. Did Kamala write it?

[The Louiswu]

blah, blah, blah...just get used to high crime rates, little or no police response, just get used to the new normal idiots.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I was sure this was the Bee.

[verum ago]

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...
