Ted joined Fox News to explain why Chicago has been the nation’s murder capital for 13 years straight. The reasons are many. Start with demoralized, restricted police. Add a 1 in 20 arrest rate. Add unreported crime. Add a dismal 911 response rate. Then add city leadership that’s soft on crime. All that equals a near-zero chance of criminals ever getting punished. And so the bloodshed continues.

Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

I expect citizen justice to start in Chicago. Just like Bernard Goetz and Death Wish movie. When the justice system fails, the citizenry exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.
It’s not likely. The average person is nowhere near as courageous as Bernie Goetz or the fictional Paul Kersey of Death Wish. Besides, with the current state of the “justice” system in Illinois, they’d pull out all the stops to find, convict, and put anybody who had the temerity to stand up to a criminal UNDER the jail so deep, they’d have to pump oxygen to him.
Spot on Tom. A Bernie Goetz individual is exceptional. Another fascinating part of his story is three of the four thugs he shot were arrested for other crimes at later dates except for the one thug that Bernie paralyzed! He was permanently retired from a live of crime at a young age and never victimized another subway rider again! You won’t read that in the NYT!
Double-murder suspect was on felony pretrial release, court records show – CWB Chicago
This is why. Dozens of violent criminals including those charged with murder, shootings, stabbing, robberies, sexual assault are roaming the streets of Chicago after being released by the insane SAFE T laws and the failure of Cook County judges to hold people responsible.
