Democrat-run cities are violent places, but Chicago Is A Slaughter-House, and it's only getting worse. 'Democrat-controlled Chicago has just concluded one of the most violent years in its history, with a massive increase in shootings and homicides.'

January 2021 witnessed 51 homicides in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago, a four-year high.

"51 homicides ties a high in January 2017, when the city saw 51 as well.


Chicago saw 240 overall shooting victims in January–fatal and non-fatal combined–compared to 158 during January 2020.

Chicago Police responded to 2018 carjackings in January, and the threat from that alone is so great Chicago Alderman Stephanie Coleman is pushing for security at gas stations to ensure people can fill up their tanks without have their vehicles stolen.

The Chicago Tribune noted Coleman has launched “Operation Safe Pump” to provide an hour in which pumps at certain gas stations are safe. Coleman’s actions follow the 135 percent surge in Chicago carjackings witnessed in 2020."

The January 2021 violence comes on the heels of a 2020 that witnessed over 4,100 people shot in Mayor Lightfoot’s Chicago.'


Lightfoot is an incompetent, inept politician who has not been able to even slow down the increasing un-checked slaughter going on in Chicago.

~~~~~~
Each year we lose more killed and wounded in the Blue Sanctuary Plantation cities of Chicago, New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia than we do in the our military fighting in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq combined.
The saddest part that the majority of those killed are Black, yet BLM claims we must defund our police. Go figure

Calm down

They were just celebrating Biden and Harris taking over the WH.

I respectfully feel that Her Honor is NOT to blame.

First, it is the very, very, very bad people who shoot and kill who are to blame.

Second, I have read that the police and some city officials have begged for tougher state laws, but the liberal legislature ignores their pleas.

Third, Her Honor is between a rock and a hard place. If she cracks down (even if she could), the bleeding heart liberals would accuse her of betraying "her people." If she does nothing (which is basically all she can do), she gets blamed for being soft on crime.

Most Americans, of course, have tuned out. They are no longer outraged by the disgusting violence. They pass it off as just an element of American big city life.

She was not elected to win popularity contests or appease any one group. She was elected, in part, to protect the people of Chicago. It seems you are saying her allowing politics to stop her from doing her job - her choice - is in large part to blame. Do what's right - don't worry about the rest. Let the chips fall where they may. If everyone chose to do what's right and to hell with political pressure this would be a much different nation right now.

Your last sentence is right on!

But that is never going to happen.

A man formerly from New York state tried to do that, and look at what happened to him.

So this nation is going to be "different," all right, but not in the way that many of our grandchildren will like.

Lorie Lightfoot, Chicago, and all of the foreign-funded Democrat-supported domestic terrorist Antifa and BLM violence (that resulted in hundreds of billions of dollars in damage in communities in Democrat-run cities) are the biggest defenses for the Constitutional Right to own guns...
