Column: No one has all the answers to Chicago’s crime problem – Chicago Sun-Times

"Economic pressures have often been linked to crime. It should be no surprise to us that our most recent spikes occurred during a global pandemic that universally shook up our markets, our businesses and our personal finances. There’s also the ever-present specter of inequality. Racial disparities in incarceration in Illinois are even higher than they are in southern states known for their painful legacy of discrimination. Racial unemployment gaps are also wider in the Chicago area than they are in most large metropolitan areas across the country."

Once again, the apologists for the criminal-class, that masquerade as a news organization, can’t see the target; let alone the bullseye.

How about this one: lock up the criminals regardless of color? That would be a good starting point … and maybe even an ending point.

It’s worked in the past, but the wokesters don’t pay attention to history.
