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.
Bad guy on the streets late night. Gas station not open. Ok, next stop that nice bungalow house with people sleeping inside. Just because you close the gas station doesn’t mean the thug takes a break from crime.
The Frank Lloyd Wright home invasion massacre….
Blame and punish victims – that’s the Oak Park way!
Oak Park residents are overweight, all ice cream shops will be closed. Three people spotted with bad haircuts, barber shops get warned. Car washes blamed for dirty cars. The list is endless
Why limit this to gas stations? Why not all businesses. Don’t all business establishments attract criminals? Anybody see an elephant?

The whole idiot move here is based on a murder that took place at a gas station

Instead of getting tough on criminals, the Oak Park trustees think they can fix crime by punishing hard working small businesses.
