As Chicago’s mayoral candidates have sparred over their vision of the city’s future, two themes have largely dominated the conversation: crime and policing. Whether Brandon Johnson or Paul Vallas wins, the new mayor will have to work with the current police leadership to tamp down rising crime and implement sweeping court-ordered reforms.
The candidates have presented vastly different plans to take on this daunting challenge.
Vallas, endorsed by Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police, has said he’d lean into “proactive” policing and has committed to filling more than 1,700 department vacancies to address what he has described as an “utter breakdown of law and order.”

“Whether Brandon Johnson or Paul Vallas wins, the new mayor will have to work with the current police leadership to tamp down rising crime”
Have to? I doubt it.
Wife and I used to love to go to Chicago for romantic weekends of shopping, theater and wonderful food but when Lightbrain got elected I refused to step foot in that city. If Chicagos next mayor can get a handle on crime and the gang activity and return the city to some semblance of law and order I’d love to take the missus back there, it was a fine place at one time. Good luck Chicago.
This election is tomorrow. Chicago Police and Fire support Vallas. Chicago Public Schools are on Spring Breakwhich likely means lower voter turn out, which would probably hurt Vallas. The SEIU and CTS unions will turn out in en masse and that will favor Brandon Johnson. I am thinking Johnson will win this which would be a continuation of Lori Lightfoot’s disaster.
Let the boys get jiggy on one another.
Let their leaders allow regression to make another africa on US soil. That way they can have their pride in being African, African - Americans.
Who knows? Maybe at some point they might become Americans
That should be the headline. It's as predictable as eating beans and getting gas.
The only amazing thing is that RAT voters are too friggin' stupid to make the connection.
“...RAT voters are too friggin’ stupid to make the connection.”
It amazes me that we have so many stupid people and they vote. I will never understand voting for your own destruction and downfall.

They see it as a way to stick it to the man while they watch their house burn down
Not all psychopaths turn into Charlie Manson. Most of them are able to stay under the radar.
We expelled Christ from mainstream America. Insanity was the result.
Africanization of Chicago has destroyed an already corrupt city
The one thing I never expected back then was that our society would actually go into so much debt to keep the cities alive, and the marginal populations fed, clothed and sheltered.
Electing Brandon Johnson would push Chicago further down into the hole. Paul Vallas might minimize the continued damage more than Johnson, which would just prolong the agony.
Chicago has figured out how to lower their crime statistics. Don’t arrest anybody.
“The only amazing thing is that RAT voters are too friggin’ stupid to make the connection.”
A trait common to all liberals is their inability to connect dots.
To them cause-and-effect is a foreign concept.
“A poll, conducted by WGN-TV in partnership with Emerson College and The Hill, showed Vallas with a 46-41% lead over his rival, with 13% of voters saying that they are undecided in the race.”
Fact is, Trump would be less likely to go to jail if he had just shot someone.
***Chicago has figured out how to lower their crime statistics.***
Felonies have been plea bargained down to misdemeanors, and since the closing of the mental institutions crazies are now considered “sane” are able to legally buy guns to shoot up schools and churches.
Reopen the mental institutions, return to the 1950s definitions for mental illness. Bring back the Chain Gangs.
Bingo.
“Africanization of Chicago has destroyed an already corrupt city”
The Africanization of Chicago was enhanced and multiplied after Mexicans chased the BLM savages back to their inner city bungalows in June, 2020.
The idiot deep state tried to act too soon after it ordered Mayor Groot to attack Mexican neighborhoods and businesses with BLM gangs. The Mexicans set up armed barricades and beat the crap out of them. Obuma’s clown “army” is pinned down and can’t move beyond Chicago.
