MSM still ginning up the fear angle just as broken record Joe did re white supremacy. It didn’t work then and it’s not working now. Most people that I know are relieved that something is finally being done after four years of inactivity by whomever was in charge.
Fair Warning was given. Homan is here now, and he will not be denied.

Corruption permeates every aspect of life in Chicago. It is the most corrupt city in the nation. If fear permeates every aspect of life in Chicago, maybe that’s because there’s nobody to respond to 911 calls.

There’s fear in Chicago, fear on the CTA, fear of being carjacked, of being attacked in grocery store parking lots. And no, I’m not implying that only illegals are the perps, but they have added to the fear factor in this city.

Such bull crap, fearing this fearing that such hysteria that’s not even needed
Maybe you should be scared when you break the law. Isn’t that what law and order is all about?
