Thousands of MAGA hats need to be dropped off in small stores in the South Side of Chicago. Tell the owners they can have the hats if they sell them for a buck each...

Let’s red hat the town.

Both Pritzker and Johnson are committed, woke, racial Marxists. True believers.

With no conscience. At all.

The gang battles and rioting can deprive innocents and guilty folks of their federal civil rights.
Things like false imprisonment, battery, assault, resisting arrest, especially if against a member of a protected class..these kind of charges (except resisting arrest) have been filed against police officers for quite a while...

The Leftist cities like Chicago are protecting the criminals. Follow the money. The drug cartels have got the city leaders by the nose. The drug cartels have turned the users into crazed criminals who do anything to pay for their habit.

“How can Chicago (and other Bluetopias) maintain any bond ratings and insurance? One would think that this crap would be costing them bigly?”

Who are these “them”? Certainly not the politicians. Chicago is in more debt than all but a few entire US states. High interest rates on loans? No problemo!

Interesting point. But the Feds went after Al Capone for tax evasion. And they went after other gangsters for violating federal Prohibition laws.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...
Yes, I was anticipating your response, which of course is true. But think about the Feds pursuit for decades of the Mafia in New York. The wars between the families there resulted in shootouts in the streets all over town. Wasn’t that a problem for city and state law enforcement to handle, and if so, why was it necessary for the Feds to be involved?

" The Dems are trying to insult the law enforcement officers, falsify the data, pressure victims to not go to court and saying to just get used to the killings."

You just described Mayor Paul Young, and DA Steve Mulroy, of Memphis, TN.

Armed carjacking get plead down to simple assault. Armed robbery gets plead down to trespass. Arson doesn't even get a look. Shooting up the streets gets plead down to a misdemeanor.

“At least five people have been killed and 30 others injured in shootings across Chicago over Labor Day weekend”. Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, just another weekend in the combat zone, the free-fire zone.

This has been going on for years all the way back to Daley as Mayor, it’s just gotten worse. I see the stats, now all of sudden people are noticing this?

heyjackass.com go there and see the stats daily and hourly.

I’m so old that I can remember when Chicago was a fun, exciting place to visit for a weekend. Museums, SHOPPING, live theater, comedy clubs, excellent eats, DANCING - Chi-Town had it ALL! And I was never shot, stabbed, raped or robbed! Not even ONCE!

‘The People’s Republik of Milwaukeestan’ (where I grew up) is also having a ‘fire for effect’ Labor Day Weekend - though those dumb@ss ‘gang bangers’ never seem to hit much - even after firing off 100’s rounds on auto!

More and more, mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago has the look and feel of a Somali warlord.
