Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but major crimes are up 24% in Chicago this year (and your neighborhood is probably even worse) – CWB Chicago

Theft reports are up 56%. Motor vehicle thefts are up 37%. Burglaries up 13%. Aggravated batteries and criminal sexual assaults are both up 12%. But not everything is horrible on the latest CompStat report. Murders were down 16% during the first 23 days of January compared to last year.

Biden will do biblical damage between now and then, but the House will be red for a decade or more afterward. Blue state bailouts will be no more.
