Mayhem in the Windy City: 8 Teens Shot Downtown in Sick Scene As Pritzker, Johnson Refuse Trump's Help
Red State ^ | 22/11/25 | Bob Hoge

Posted on 11/24/2025 4:59:24 AM PST by Eleutheria5

A man with a 30-year criminal record, reportedly at least 72 arrests, and around 15 convictions, lit a 26-year-old woman on fire on a train in Chicago Monday night. She is fighting for her life in critical condition.

Mayor Brandon Johnson on Thursday called it an “isolated incident.”

The “isolated incident” highlights everything that is wrong with progressive politics and Democrat leadership in all too many of our cities: let the criminals run free, forget about the victims, and vilify the police.

But it only got worse for the Windy City Friday night, as the rampant violence and death the city has become known for continued with multiple shootings and mob mayhem in the city’s iconic Loop District. Multiple teenagers were hit:

At least eight teens were shot, one fatally, and multiple police officers were attacked Friday after a riot broke out in the Chicago Loop, the city's downtown central business district.

text from link: "Chicago just lit the Christmas tree… and the city lit up with gunfire.

Seven teens shot. Bodies on the pavement. Sirens drowning out Christmas songs. And this is supposed to be “joy to the world.”

.....

Would Johnson also consider this an isolated incident?

The Loop is the one part of Chicago that tourists can safey go to and that Pritzker and Brandon 2.0 can point to as saying how wonderful and safe the city is. The violence is supposed to stay on the South Side, where "those people" dwell (can't call it "living"). Their racist paradigms have just boomeranged.

But Never Trump! Orange Man Bad! Violence? Enh. More gun laws.

Yawn. Another news article parading more Liberal City dysfunction, crime and chaos. I could post the same article except have "Seattle" in the title. Or, Portland. Denver. San fran. Ad infinitum.

It's all the same. All the time. At this point, who cares?

It’s black people shooting black people. No one cares about that stuff. Least of all black people. Let’s focus on how much we hate Trump.

The President cares. More evidence results from the Chicago events. The evidence is gathered and catalogued.

At some point all hell will break loose as the President declares the actual constitutionally mandated problem and takes control

Every single day in the ghetto it’s an “isolated incident”.

Every day into perpetuity, wherever savage cannibals go on the prowl for victims, it is called an isolated incident. Thousands and thousands of isolated incidents. And ALL of them committed by democrats. /spit

Back in the early 70s, I was in an Army National Guard Field Artillery Battalion with the armory at 5200 South Cottage Grove Street. We used to joke that when the next race riot broke out, we would have to fight our way into our deployment assembly area!

I wonder why all of a sudden, after decades of this kind of stuff, this has become such an issue, as if it had never happened before.

Makes me suspicious about who’s involved in it and if someone related to someone connected politically got shot.

Money doesn’t care what mayhem happens to the unwashed but when it touches them, suddenly it’s a big catastrophe.

The fancy shmancy stores in The Loop might care. Shootouts scare away their customers. Christmas Tree lightings are supposed to be photo perfect. A line’s been crossed.

Leroy Brown: Can’t appear in public. I look like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone. But dammit! Bruthas ain’t supposed to do this stuff in The Loop! Whitey’s apt to look into our doings on the South Side if we bring our business to the other side of the tracks.

Oh, and Sonny (ok, he’s dead, so nemmine), Cher? Get my race right! Not only did your cartoon make me look like a buffoon, but with a name like “Leroy Brown,” do you seriously think I’m a honkey?!

My dad grew up in Chicago.

He once told me I wouldn’t survive a walk through his old neighborhood, and that was years ago. I’m sure it’s worse now.

The folks in Illinois just sit there and take it from their thug governments. You got it coming to you.

Chicago has always been famous for its random killings.

Some can’t afford to move. Some are happy as a pig in sh!t because they’re a part of it. Some aren’t aware that any place else is different. Bottom line, it’s a city of halves. The halves are unaware and unconcerned about the halve nots. And the halve nots survive but never thrive.
