Shootings and murders in Chicago have reached critical levels. They are now an almost daily occurrence.
The death toll from shootings rise every weekend. Children are now being routinely shot and killed. Recently, there was a drive-by shooting at a funeral where the attendees returned fire. Fifteen people were injured in the firefight.
While the violence in Chicago keeps increasing, city officials call for defunding the second-largest police department in the country.
Chicago’s police union president John Caranzana recently asked President Trump for help with the city’s violent crime epidemic.
The mayor response to Caranzana’s request was unprofessional and vile. WGN-TV reported that Mayor Lightweight called him a “cartoon character” and a “clown” who is “desperate for relevance.”
The mayor refused to “take back one word that I said.”
In an MSNBC interview, Mayor Lightweight described her conversation with President Trump. She told the president she would “not agree to or accept anything like what’s happening on the streets of Portland, Oregon.”
Lightweight went on to say she “did not want unnamed federal agents patrolling our streets, pretending to be the police, sweeping people off, and denying them of their constitutional rights.” Lightweight concluded by saying, “That’s not going to happen in Chicago.”
What is happening in Chicago, however, is exactly what’s happening in the streets of Portland. Looting, rioting, and violence against police. And local citizens are being denied their constitutional rights.
Mayor Lori Lightweight has totally lost control of Chicago, but she doesn’t want to be like Portland. She lives in a glass house.

Register blacks, not guns.
She is an extremely flawed person, deep in bias, incapable of leadership, with adolescent excuses.
I recall about 50 years ago the police would threaten a strike over little things. Now they are being totally humiliated by this misfit and they do nothing about it. The union is far left and playing a game, pretending to not support her “policies” while doing nothing about it. The union holds a key here. If the union would support members defying her “orders”, members would do so, and the situation would change rapidly.
These liberal mayors and governors need to be removed from office they are inept and incompetent and are playing politics with peoples lives. Then this buffoon says that we need stronger gun control, when Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country. Does she really think that these gangbangers legally purchase these weapons at gun stores? The party of slavery always has an excuse for their incompetence, it’s always someone elses.
