A Chicago business owner says he is fleeing the crime-infested city because leaders are "supporting anarchy" and he "can't put up with it any longer."
"Our employees are being held up for their wallets and their phones at gunpoint," Rabine Group founder Gary Rabine told "America Reports" on Wednesday. "It's just not worth it anymore, the danger. You know, we are very safety-oriented company, and we can't put up with it any longer."
Rabine, who has built business in the Chicago area for over 40 years, says his customers and employees do not want to live in the Windy City anymore.
"It's a terrible place to be and we've got a governor and a mayor and a future mayor in the city who are promoting this anarchy," he said. "If you watch the messaging from our governor and from the past mayor, and even more so the new mayor, it's all about, you know, basically reparations, right? It's okay to rob and pillage and steal. You're not going to get in any trouble, and it's just a great form of reparations in the mindset of this new mayor and the governor has done nothing to stop either."

"This anarchy is not going to stop as long as we have terrible leaders like Brandon Johnson, J.B. Pritzker and Lori Lightfoot," he said. "It will not change. It's only going to get worse...I have family members and loved ones that live in the city. They all want out and are getting out, great employees across my companies...will rather be in any state in the country than Illinois. This was never the case five years ago and back. There's an urgent issue here of change. It's not going to happen, unfortunately, with terrible leadership that we have."

I really, really hate to say this because it goes against everything I once believed but this country has gone to hell since women and blacks were allowed to vote. There are many, many good women and blacks who deserve their voice to be heard but they are out-numbered by the crazies. There needs to be some kind of test to filter out those who should not be voting...
“Chicongo” I love it.
Will take at least three generations to change things, unless someone like Trump is in charge.
“reparations “
This says it all. The corrupt politicians WANT this crime so their beloved criminals can take what they want from their “oppressors”.
Honest, non-violent, productive people are being targeted for elimination, after all their money has been taken.
You can thank LBJ and the Democrat decedents of the southern plantation owners for the condition of the blacks in the urban areas.
They used the “Great Society” to destroy the Black Nuclear Family.
Chicago was a FABULOUS city until Lori Lightin the loafers won.....NYC used to be good also.....San Francisco was a GORGEOUS city. I have been lucky enough to have livedin theses cities when they were SAFE and BEAUTIFUL!
Dems will vote for HITLER if the had a “D” after his name!
But all of those have been on a trajectory for many years. Beginning with acceptance of depravity that rotted the moral fiber leading to the current state of affairs. Depravity is a cancer... and the leftist ideologies that were fertilized in those fecal pools grew to overtake and destroy - setting policies in place that accelerated the decay.
Chicago was more civilized in the days of Al Capone...
BTTT . . . TTT
My daughter in law visited Uganda. It’s safer there than Chicago.
Chicago will soon be left to the thugs and feral youth. Too bad it was once a great city. And when the mayor and the governor of Illinois come to the federal government screaming for help, the Republican president should tell them to pound sand.
Yes, I went to https://www.rabine.com/ and it’s the same guy:
Check the site and there’s a big picture of him. Looks identical to photo on youtube story.
He nailed it right there.
This is what's going on in these Democrat run black areas. Run, run now while you still can.
The Democrats will just pump more tax money into these areas to fill the economic vacancy you leave.
Little hope in Chicago. Democrats are socialists/commies and there haven’t been a Republican in sight for decades. The last Republican mayor’s term ended in 1931, yep, 92 years ago. And he was as corrupt as could be (in Al Capone’s pocket) so....where does Chicago go? Probably like Detroit, I suspect. Very sad, actually tragic. A once great city...on the ropes and going down.....
Pray that America doesn’t turn into Chicago
Do you remember Frank Rizzo in Philadelphia?
For reference see: Any area entirely run by Democrats...Chicago, San Francisco, California, Portland.......
Cancerous rot is destroying the cities
The cancer is good for America
They don't. Look at the precinct level breakdown of the voting in the mayoral election and you'll see the same pattern as in the 2020 Presidential-year election: many of the poorest, blackest precincts reported 90+% voter turnout, which you couldn't get offering a free bucket of chicken and complementary malt liquor in those neighborhoods.
Fraud pushed Johnson over the top, just like it did Biden in 2020, and probably will again with whatever sock puppet the regime chooses in 2020.
