Murphy said Foxx was upset about a newspaper headline that indicated the suspect would not face a murder charge under the Safe-T Act. He said Foxx appeared to be more upset with the headline than the fact that a woman had died.

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.

When some future Edward Gibbon writes his magnum opus on Chicago he’ll have a chapter dedicated to Kim.
Her incompetence as the Cook County States Attorney is glaring and her failure as a so called prosecutor allowing hardened criminals to terrorize the citizenry means nothing. As long as she is backed by the democraps and runs for office with the giant “D” by her name she could be in office forever. The voters in Cook/County/Chicago are brain dead.
I disagree, she is doing exactly what Cook County voters want her to do: stop harassing blacks and latinks for routine felonies and misdemeanors.
The County leadership heard the cries of the unheard after the St. George Floyd of Fentynal riots. The gave the rioters exactly what they wanted: racial justice. What is racial justice? Letting BIPOC criminals terrorize the community with impunity and disciplining and prosecuting any police officer that acts otherwise.
It’s unfortunate that racial justice means more (B)urning (L)ooting and (M)urder, but that sometimes, you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette.
But most of the communities that end up getting terrorized are the black communities. Granted there is a certain amount of crime from these hardened criminals that ends up in the white parts of town the majority is in the black neighborhoods. Just check the totals and locations of shootings and murders via HEYJACKASS.COM. Blacks and Hispanics are involved in 95+% of these situations. That’s okay with me.
Yet, these same black communities re-elected Kim Foxx by 80 to 90 points over the challenger. How does this happen? It’s either they like it this way, or, fraud. I think it’s a little bit of both, honestly. It’s a bit like how the favelas in Brazil are completely controlled by the gangs and warlords that terrorize the community, yet, the children and nephews of the residents take up arms against the federal government trying to rid the neighborhood of gangs. 18 people were killed in a battle between federal forces and the gangs just last week: https://www.thesun.ie/news/9138505/18-dead-brazil-rio-favela-alemao-police-raid/ There is… Read more »
This will change nothing
Kim Fox coddled crime, chased away staff and woke-pandered her way through her first term, and was re-elected by a 15 percentage point margin in 2020. Not even close.
Why is it that so many people in Cook County believe that what Kim Fox can be relied upon to do is what they want done?
She’s doing exactly what she was elected to do. Her voter base is gang members, criminals, families with criminals and AWFL’s. She had voter turnout in her favor in high crime neighborhoods what would make even poo-teen blush.
Fox is in a gang. Period.
Excellent action taken by Jim Murphy. I’m surprised it took him this long to quit.
Black gangsters are caught with illegal Glock G18 conversions (machine guns). Aunt Jemina as well as AG Merrick Garfinkel refuse to indict and prosecute. If a white law abiding gun owner has a malfunctioning sear and his gun goes full automatic, it is an instant minimum 10 years at a federal big house and $10 thousand fine . White people wake up ( and I am not
white)! The government is not your friend!
That is for damn sure, never have been, never will be.
Black voters make or break elections in many races. Blacks and AWFLs have said, quite vocally, stop harassing BIPOCs for routine felonies and misdemeanors.
The results is more felonies and misdemeanors. And those crimes are ignored too.
