Audio and summary
All of these geniuses talk about the need to address the “root cause” of the problem. That terminology is from the 8-D method of problem solving, used in the automotive industry to deal with quality issues. As the name implies, there are 8 steps in the method. Step 4 is “analysis of root cause”. Progressives have conveniently skipped over Step 3, which is “contain the problem”.
We’re just warming up. Wait until we get a nice hot streak in July and August.
Great Job Lightfoot, Fox and Brown!
Keep it up pretty soon no visitors, stores, etc.! You have ruined this city!
LL, lets keep focusing on the important things LOL
Another reminder of what Chicago has become! It’s no longer unusual to come across a stiff somewhere! Parks, rivers and tributary streams are great dumping grounds. Lori will claim they’re falling out of airplanes. That foundling in the north branch was up on Foster! Proof they’re falling out of airplanes going into Palwaukee. Blame Lake County, keep it out of our dead count.
A city full of murders is progressive, and edgy.
Mostly peaceful weekend here, like Syria. The violence isn’t really happening, that’s just right wing propaganda. LOL
AOC expresses concern about the media hysteria, and fears the numbers will be “taken out of context”.
We are all well aware of the “context” of the violence.
AOC = the person who knows nothing who thinks they know everything.
Chicago really has become the Wild West.
Crazy and dangerous times.
Get those FOID cards folks.
Waited over a year for my card,then moved to Indiana,all my neighbors have guns,and it feels a lot safer here.
I had a friends ask if I wanted to go to a sporting venue in the City. Told them I like my car and my life. I took a pass. Miller Park feels safer than anything Chicago offers.
I am pretty sure this is exactly what the smart people of Chicago wanted, this is so Progressive. Good for you Chicago. This could not happen to a better city.
Hmmmmm..What can we expect from Lori? No comments until Wednesday? Maybe she’ll roar out of Fort Wrightwood looking for a clerk to fire. She’s paralyzed and Toni won’t stop the music!
According to Lori Homicides and shootings are down and she is very encouraged about our progress! I hope Tucker rips on this birdbrain tonight
