Even Chicagoans Want Help On High Crime

[Independent thinker]

I can't argue that point, however, why would they at the same time allow gangs to maintain their violence without interference? Why no cash bond so those same criminals go right back on the street? They must be getting kickbacks to allow all that, it is a demofk right? Never let money slip away.

Arresting people is racist. Bonds are racist. Blacks being the majority of the victims due to dem policies permitting high crime? Somehow that's not racist.

You've been smoking some good shit.

SOP since 88. That fact has nothing to do with the Neo-GOP cuts to funding dedicated to fighting crime and gun violence in places like Chicago

it's really very simple yet demofks run interference for the gangs. Just do. The fact they lost their shit for the NG coming in is my evidence of it.

Chicago leadership... "Shush peasants"

More like "Shush, Fiel'-Hans... don' axe... jus' listen to wat de House Folk tellz ya... we noze bedder an' we gots dis..."

---------

Pathetic...

But there ARE growing signs of rebellion against City Hall and some promising signs of self-respect and independent thinking...

For those Sane and Righteous Ones... I wish 'em all the best... and the best of luck... they're gonna need it...

Soon, they may actually be getting the kind of intervention that makes a difference for once... here's hoping...

The time may have come to break the back of the Ancient Democratic Party Machine of Chicago-and-Cook-County...

Something that would be all-the-more effective and all-the-more delicious if impacted Chicagoans triggered it...

Just dumb.

Most people want better policing in high crime areas.

Apparently not the leaders in some cities like Chicago.

So, why are the left against that?

Crime is a huge grift stream for Chicago NGOs.

Today, as public funding at the city, county and state level has increased, Chicago’s CVI network has grown to more than two dozen organizations.....

I'm not gonna bother but I bet if you take a deep dive into them you would get my point in a hurry.

A new poll (in the below article) of Chicagoans shows they would appreciate a surge of officers to combat their high crime as there was in DC. Are you listening JB and mayor Denial, or is that major denial?

In 2024, among our nation’s 25 most populous cities, D.C. had the worst murder rate – 28% higher than second-place Indianapolis and 179% higher than the group’s average.

But after Trump intervened, for 13 days, there were no murders in D.C. Compared to 2024 – when the district recorded 187 homicides – the odds of that happening randomly are just one in 800.

Bowser announced that in the first 20 days after Trump’s takeover (Aug. 7-26), violent crime had plummeted 45%, carjackings down 87%, robbery down 62%, and sexual abuse down 44%. D.C.’s residents suddenly felt much safer.

Contrary to what Illinois’ political leadership is asserting, Chicagoans do perceive violent crime as a real issue, according to the M3 Strategies poll, and there’s broad support for beefing up Chicago’s law enforcement to calm the mayhem here as well.

the M3 Strategies poll shows, blacks and Hispanics are more supportive of law enforcement than White – no doubt because the burden of crime falls heaviest on blacks and Hispanics.

in Chicago. So far this year, 80% of the murder victims are black. With 573 murders last year, that amounts to about 450 black people murdered.

Black residents suffer disproportionately in other crime categories as well, and they’re hurt by the corollary effects of high crime as businesses shut down, jobs disappear, stores close their doors, and property values take a hit.

So, it should not be surprising that Chicago’s blacks and Hispanics support federal help to fight crime. Black residents,by a 48%-to-44% margin, think it would be a good idea. Hispanics have even stronger support by a 55%-to-38% margin.

Nothing here says that Chicagoans want troops in their city.

What they want is for the federal government to provide the funds necessary for them to implement community programs tht address the causes of crime. You amateurs really need to shut up about topics you have no clue about.

Then trump should find a legal way to help them. Like do as the mayor asked. Make it more difficult for guns to come in to IL from neighboring states.

Since when do leftards care about what's legal?

Since Biden ignored the law and illegally opened the borders?

Brandon Johnson is going to get the National Guard whether he likes it or not.

Because leftards are incompetent. There's not a single city they run that isn't filled with crime. Not one.

No, the know the funds for that purpose were already there. The mayor just wasted them on housing for illegal aliens.
