“Misperception” to her is when a person chooses to believe evidence and their own eyes instead of her babble.

Here’s Kim Foxx’s perception problem summed up: She took office after an unusually violent year. The following year, crime was down to “normal” – a natural statistical occurrence after an abnormal spike – but not by anything you could attribute to her policies. But she took full credit for those improved stats and the media heaped all this praise on her. Now that the stats have turned against her in a big way, she’s wondering where all that underserved love went.
“Now that the stats have turned against her in a big way”
But have they? She’s comparing herself to the crazy 90’s and compared to that era she looks great. Sure, crime is up, but you need to crack a few eggs to bake a cake. Social justice doesn’t come easy and there will be some repeat offenders, and lots of innocent people might die, but isn’t that equity?
More importantly, how do thieves/drug dealers/gang members perceive her? Because they don’t seem all too concerned with how the courts will treat them.
Like it or lump it, Foxx’s policies (or perception thereof) have emboldened the criminal element. She can claim she’s tough on guns, gangs, whatever, but the reality on the street is that it’s open season.

“Your threat is the only determination if you should walk or not.”
Really? So thousands of years of criminal justice under our legal system that can be traced all the way back to the Romans, and before that, the Greeks; but Kim Foxx, the SIU lawyer, knows better than Solon, or Cicero, about the principals of criminal justice? What arrogance and hubris.

Kim Foxx is a racist lying communist scumbag who will tell you that the sky is not blue and that she does not go soft on criminals with a straight face and smile while she does it. She and all like her will soon have their day.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

It is Kim Foxx with the perception issue, not us.

Foxx is measuring herself against the Laquan McDonald spike year, not the 90’s.
I know, I know, I’m being facetious.
