Editorial: A woman was set on fire on the Blue Line. Chicago can’t shrug this off. – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

"... (O)verall crime at CTA locations is down slightly year over year, but the most serious violent offenses are rising — homicides are up 40 percent and shootings have increased by 33 percent, according to police data. ... A woman sitting on a bench at the UIC-Halsted Blue Line stop Nov. 10 was stabbed in the chest by a man wielding a large knife. In July, a 56-year-old man was beaten to death in the Loop at the Clark and Lake CTA stop. The list goes on."

Any one who votes for or supports that idiot
Pritzger should remember that victim set on fire
by the laws that he and other democrats put in place. How many more must die before we boot
their asses out of office

Lots of hand wringing, disgust and the usual drivel condemning the act. But not a single mention of the Prtizker Purge Act, Prekwinkle emptying the county jail or that CPD is down 2,000 officers. What they don’t say is more revealing than what they do.

Communism is the Devils ideology, and that’s what we are seeing, the collapse of civil society. Look what happened just last night at the tree lighting event that celebrates the birth of Christ.
