Because of systemic racism the term “carjacking” will be banned. It will now be called “Redistribution of Automotive Resources”.
Cops can work with prosecutors and judges all they want. But if prosecutors and judges don’t do their job, why bother? Foxx doesn’t have to worry she has a driver and probably an armed driver, as does Lightfoot and Preckwinkle and god know how many alderman. Heck, Burke only had a half dozen cops driving him around.
The only way this will stop is if every carjacker gets shot and killed by a concealed carry person. All of them, all killed, no matter their age. Then it will end.
Read that the new prez ordered ICE in Texas to release most everyone they are holding. A large percentage of those “folks,” or really criminals that were on track to be deported, will make there way to Chicago. Just to top things off. Glad I don’t own property in the City. Could a rough summer
