Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
Pay more taxes for gang watching, but be prepared to run!
We have been talking for years about crime, ineffective police work, lefty prosecutors and out of control teenagers. But the stories the last few days from half a dozen or more intersections are starting to look like third world stuff. Crazy, irresponsible young people. Any arrests? No law enforcement. Basically, no civilized order or punishment. Remember goofy Lori’s comment regarding the riots on Michigan Avenue– “young people have to have a way to express themselves.” Just a great city on the verge of collapse.
Yikes. Would never choose Chicago as a vacation destination.
Will never visit Chicago ever again.
“If you live in Chicago, you are far more likely to be shot or murdered than in surrounding communities.”
from another article on wirepoints telling it like it is. Chicago has more gang members than any other city in America. Try calling 911. NO ONE IS COMING TO HELP YOU. Enough said. You go visit Chicago. I’m NOT looking to get mugged again.
