Why didn't the Sun Times ask anybody in the south side?
Let them stew in their own juices. They vote for it.
Somebody’s lying.
Send the Guard to red state blue cities.
Asking a liberal news-spewer about public opinion is akin to asking Kamala to speak a real sentence.
What the President does cannot be rejected by the powers that be.
At best, there can be only disagreement.
Chicago is a very dangerous place. It has been 30 years since I traveled there. It is much worse now.
All cities where the ComDem’s run a Lawless rule, ARE DANGEROUS.
But did they ask ‘Bad Leroy Brown’ on the South Side? Yeah, I didn’t think so!
Chicago Sun Times.

The people in South side should get up a petition to have president trump send in the troops, and that way the right can say that the left lied about support for the idea by only posting surveys I, the safer areas of chicago!
THAT!

As opposed to a neighborhood of the city of Chicago proper?
How does this translate to the “Back of Yards” neighborhood?
Or Hegewisch?
#WhitePeopleProblems?
or, #WhitePeopleOpnions?
You know why. They only talked to rich white liberals.
Says the white liberal living in a safe area and never visits
Chicago proper because of the crime..
