John Kass’s news site is where I go if I want to know what’s left of Chicago. He has other folks writing on his site now and someone named Steve Huntley gave an update on the mayoral election going on. So the cretinous incumbent Lori Lightfoot is currently ranked fourth in a field of eight. And because of various nefarious associations, the usual mobbed up candidates are not the leading candidate. It so happens that an actual law and order type, Paul Vallas is in the lead and believed to be headed into the runoff. Bestill my beating heart! So, if Vallas becomes mayor and hires a bunch of cops and allows the cops to arrest people for crimes what happens when odious state’s attorney Kim Foxx just refuses to prosecute them? Well, they’re right back on the street killing, assaulting and robbing the general public I guess.
I’m not very hopeful that the cities have learned their lesson it probably will take quite a bit longer for folks in the blue states to take the plunge and demand a return to civilization. We’ll probably have to wait until cannibalism breaks out in a big way.
To be continued.
I’d go for a Richard Daley (1st) democrat. one that didn’t take shit and stood for law and order. You know it’s going to be a democrat, just get one with a spine.
It’ll be interesting to see how much more misery they’ll need before they vote for sanity.
Chicago’s current mayor says that people are being robbed because they have cash:

Does she also think that women are being raped because they are dressing provocatively?
I saw that and was stunned to the extent that I can be stunned as further examples of progressive stupidity.
If you logically extend the statement, “it’s their fault they were robbed, they had money”, the result is pure chaos. Literally, the end of civilization. But that’s what progressives want, right?
I’ve been impressed by how the chaos that’s descended on the cities hasn’t elicited an enormous backlash against the Left. Either the voting fraud is remarkable or the urbanites are all in on social justice over everything else including self-preservation. Will there ever be a limit? I don’t know.
Did you notice the new Atlanta mayor announcing by word and deed that the City has no intention in putting up with that Antifa riot s***.
I was very pleasantly surprised. I wonder if they’re beginning to rein in the other criminal activities in Atlanta.
For one thing, Atlanta has never had a Soros prosecutor.
But Atlanta does have the inner city underclass, gigantic in numbers, generations deep in government largess hell. But, balancing them out to a significant degree, especially in the burbs, Metro Atlanta has a significant population of middle and upper middle class “minorities”.
My next door neighbor and I helped each other in projects around our houses
over a couple of decades.
If they’ve managed to vote in a mayor who’s not crazy maybe there’s hope for them. As you say they didn’t put a Soros prosecutor in place and that’s a death sentence as the people of Chicago, Baltimore, Manhattan and Los Angeles have discovered. How all of this ends up is a complete mystery to me. But it’s definitely gonna be a bumpy ride.
