The victims included a 17-year-old girl who was inside her home when a bullet came through a front window and hit her in the arm, a 31-year-old man who was shot in the leg after getting caught in the crossfire of gunmen shooting at each other from two vehicles, and two people who shot and injured while driving down a street. Fewer than five hours after Trump posted a message on social media on Saturday criticizing Pritzker's handling of crime in Chicago, a mass shooting occurred in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago's South Side that left seven people wounded.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

Golly JB. I guess that Black lives don’t matter.
1 peoples rings up the tab and another peoples gets to pay for it.
The only reason 54 people were shot is that some of the bullets missed people. The number could have been much higher.
Pritzker does not want his far left policies exposed as failures. Namely no cash bail, the Safe T act , pro illegals policies, and pro criminal policies.
Bloviate & Co. continues to beat the Bad Orange Man! drum with plenty of support from various nimrods and the garden variety of lemmings, even as the bodies stack up. It seems only Lopez ( future mayoral candidate?) is aware of or cares enough to comment about while the Ramirez’ of the city sweat more resources for and non- deportation of their precious illegals. Amazing.
Lightfoot called in the guard to stop riots. Pritzker called them in to merely protect the DNC convention and pushed the SAFE-T Act. Johnson defunds the police, doesn’t support them verbally and symbolically, and removes Shotspotter. The DSL dopes seek anarchy. Who exactly is looking out for us?
Saint Floyd died on May 25th, Lightfoot didn’t call in the NG till May 31st.
Exactly. Criminal scum George Floyd died of his drug overdose 5/25. Lightfoot and Pritzker marched with and in the front of rioting mobs without masks amid a tyrannical mask enforcement farce. Disgusting.
ABC reported like this? Wow! They actually covered some bad news for Dems accurately.
Notice the well off safe white liberals preaching their anti-Trump messages while the black population is suffering from the ravages of crime in the City demonstrating that the white Democrats really do not care about the black population in Chicago.
