We still got Sunday, don’t write the news story yet

Thank god tighter gun restrictions are in place!

Another day in Phil Collins proverbial Paradise.

Lightfoot's Chicago!

Uh, no. The governor outlawed “assault rifles” so obviously nobody will get shot in chicago anymore.

Chicago has very tough gun laws, but guns are coming in from surrounding States freely.

How is the Mayor's crime plan working? Only 18 shot and 5 critically sounds like an improvement lol. I tell you these leaders don't have an idea of what's really going on.

Slow weekend! Cold weather is CPD’s best partner! Criminals don’t travel as far and are less active.👍

It’s a jungle out there 🙄

How Each of Chicago's 9 Mayoral Candidates Say They Would Address Crime, Public SafetyAs the Chicago Mayoral election draws near, the crowded field of candidates — including incumbent Lori Lightfoot — took the stage Thursday for their first televised debate and sparred for 90 minutes over a number of issues. The first topic of the night however, was one that is top of mind for voters across the city: Crime and public safety. Jamal is a child. Talking about politicians doing the same thing. He’s only been able to vote for 2 presidents I am voting for Lightfoot again. Vallas is a fascist. Garcia hasn't really lived in Chicago in a long time. Wilson is campaigning on his gas giveaways while he lives in a $24 million condo in St. Regis. The rest are an echo chamber of the same ideas.
