"We reported on Oct. 16 that shoplifting reports are up 20% over the past three years in Chicago. Suburban retailers have blamed the increase on a decision by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to take a softer approach to shoplifting cases. Foxx has instructed her attorneys to reject felony-level retail theft charges unless a person is accused of stealing more than $1,000 in merchandise at a single event."
I can not blame these people one bit; after all, isn’t everything free in Illinois?

All thanks to Crimesha (Kimm Foxx). They should call these criminals Crimeshians.

The taxing bodies have been legally stealing from us forever and more to come in 2020. We need to find another name for that like TAXLIFTERS.

they stole them in a woke neighborhood! It won’t bother anybody there, lots of sympathy. But if one of these woke residents comes home to find their stereo, big screen and jewelry gone, its a different story the woke elitist resident, the somebody else’s money rule.

steal whatever you want under $1k without penalty
don’t bother paying your water, electric or gas bills, they won’t shut off!

Is it wrong for a starving man to steal a loaf of bread to feed his hungry family? Is it wrong for a group of cold teens to steal dozens of jackets to sell in front of the 95th St Red Line Station?
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.
