Other Priorities

And speaking of other priorities you might not have heard about this incident:

Short version: a running gun battle, filmed with a video camera by a following car, going on in broad daylight in an area near the Loop.

One bystander was shot and seriously injured.

There are several things which need urgent attention in Chicago:

  • We need to get rid of the mayor. She’s obviously not up to the job.
  • We need to get rid of the Cook County States Attorney. She is uninterested in enforcing the law.
  • If the present police chief can’t do his job, get rid of him, too.

Daylight gun battles? C’mon, people.

    My wife knows someone who was nearby when the shooting started. For non-Chicagoans, this ain’t Austin or S Lawndale.

    But look at the bright side, Dave. When they change Chicago’s signage they can keep the C: Columbia.

    Not like the CPD don’t know who these guys likely are, cops are just in CYA mode. Or worse, on the shooter’s payroll.
    If real law enforcement were the goal, there’s a lot of ways to disrupt the gangstas lives.
    Ticket them for every conceivable moving violation. Tow in their cars.
    Take they bitches downtown and tell them if they don’t talk, we’ll spread the word that they did.
    Roust they mamas, have social threaten they payments.
    Rights without responsibility is going to turn this into a violent free for all.

    Lightfoot, black. Foxx, black, Brown, black. Gangbangers, black.
