Editorial: Violent crime in Chicago remains a crisis, plain and simple. There is no higher priority for you, Mr. Mayor. – Chicago Tribune*

"The prevailing progressive ethos of second, third and fourth chances for violent criminals is wearing thin on a public grown more than tired of feeling vulnerable as they they walk city streets. ... (Mayor Brandon) Johnson said 'we’re not pointing a finger at anybody,' on Tuesday. Yes, by all means, point some fingers, Mr. Mayor."

First action Mayor Johnson must do: relinquish his 150-cop CPD personal protection army.

He is a hypocrite. He repeatedly speaks to his single-purpose duty to “black and brown peoples”, then flounces about with his $30,000 personal-grooming and 150-strong bodyguard cavalry. Living large on the taxpayer dollar. Truly, this emperor has no clothes; guy is both arrogant, and beyond ineffective.

From his convoluted statements, it seems Johnson is always too quick to incorrectly “ point a finger “ at white supremacists and businesses tired of being stolen blind leaving the area as the culprits for CHI’s increasing crime.

No education, no job skills and no jobs. No criminal enforcement or punishment, crime is bound to go higher and higher. The CPS failed a whole generation and Illinois chased out the businesses.
Going to be a long road to change things now.
