Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
If this gentleman was armed and he shot 5 of them dead he would be charged and riots would ensue BLM scum all total scum
This is obviously a hate crime but RINO Lausch will not charge any of these scum accordingly. Lori would not allow it. Big talk Lausch 3 gun arrests by the feds last weekend. Shameful. He’s nothing but a Beverly democrat friend of the lying mayor.

This bugs me because this could be anyone’s parent or grandfather. What would have happened if the 80 year old had a permit to carry a gun and drew his weapon and fired it to defend himself? Would that have been wrong?
No. The thugs would have gotten what they deserved. No thinking twice about that!
Do you suppose he’d be charged? Because after all…”it’s just a car”, ‘should one of these youths lose their life because of a car?” I can hear it coming out of the mayors mouth.
If he would have fired he would have been charged by the pro criminal Kim Foxx. Keep voting democrat idiots.
Black Lives Matter.
Future aldermen.
No law. No limits. No enforcement. Is this protesting too? Pull an 80 year old from his car and steal it…their mama’s must be so proud. Sorry for that last part…but not sorry enough to remove it.
