Is robbery legal in Chicago? There seems to be some debate on this.

This brazen violent criminal behavior is what you get when the policies and actions of government officials such as Pritzker, Lightfoot, Foxx and Tim Evans are implemented. This is the environment they created in the name of equity. They view the victims of these violent crimes as collateral damage. And as usual, they deny all responsibility.
Unfortunately you are dead-nuts on the violence problem. It’s no accident – instead has been crafted by the SJWs.
