Today Brandon Johnson will be inaugurated as the 57th mayor of Chicago. Over the weekend 12 people were killed and 23 wounded. As Cate Cauguiran reports at ABC 7 Chicago in a single half hour period yesterday there were 10 armed robberies:
CHICAGO (WLS) — Chicago police are searching for four armed men responsible for 10 robberies that happened within 30 minutes on the Northwest Side.
Police said the robberies happened between 7:20 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. on Sunday in the Logan Square and Hermosa neighborhoods. In each of the attacks, police said the suspects got out of their grey Hyundai Elantra with guns drawn at their victims as they were on the sidewalk or parking their vehicles.
Surveillance video of one incident shows that it took thieves about 45 seconds to rob one victim before driving off.
The Logan Square neighborhood is where outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot lives. During her four year tenure as mayor nearly 3,000 people were killed and another 12,000 wounded.
“I pity the fool”
Wasn’t Mr. T originally a bouncer in some Chicago bar?
Mayor Johnson says he will focus on the “root causes” of violence, meaning white supremacists. Biden agrees.
3,000 dead and 12,000 shot. Nobody cares a twit about them, especially not the City’s black leadership.
I think it is fair to predict that at the end of Johnson’s first term the numbers of dead and wounded will exceed those under Lightfoot.
Hopeless city of despair and death. You’re at almost 100% diversity, white supremacy zero.
Ignorance and arrogance rules, entertainers ape the visage of the violent, children are mesmerized, and ape both.
City that birthed “hope and change “ has no hope.
Please forgive another post.
I am not a fan of the Negro. But this slaughter, which is happening in every city in America, is utterly appalling. How does a black man or woman live in this carnage, which is worse than what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan. And remember, the number of young black men rampaging in our streets is probably less than 500,000, maybe only 100,000. Why can’t we solve that problem? 99.99% of blacks would welcome such relief.
The US is a dying country. Why won’t our Ruling Caste anything about the awful pain in the black ghettoes?
I lived on the border of a black ghetto in Boston for 8 years. The few blacks I knew weren’t evil, but there were evil blacks who terrorized everyone. Why won’t the black leaders see that?
Interesting personalized post, bob.
Calm down, people. Don’t you read steves comments? This is all BS. Crime is down. And what crime there is, is mostly in rural areas.
Get a clue.
Yo Drew! Your boy Durham flopped. How is your new superstar Comer going to work out? Great start losing all of his “informants”!

I think Bob, it’s because there are no black leaders, only grifters.
Obama chief among them.
Building up and selling blacks hope, once again, for personal gain.
They are still at it .
Pimping now, Michelle Obama,
America’s “forever First Lady “.
I cannot see substantial differences between them and Oral Roberts.
Black Americans need to understand, first and foremost, that they are on their own.
