John Kass, former reporter for Chicago Tribune writes a scathing indictment<\/a> of the dishonesty, incompetency and suicidal nature of the Lori Lightfoot administration in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The latest atrocity is a young Latino couple returning from the Puerto Rican Day parade are dragged from their car, assaulted, then shot execution style for the video camera while the perpetrators run or amble away.<\/p>\n

Lightfoot goes on camera to say how unacceptable all this is and how the killers will not be given immediate release from jail pending trial.\u00a0 Boy, that’ll show’em.\u00a0 Of course, that’s assuming they are ever caught.\u00a0 After all the police really aren’t arresting people anymore.\u00a0 Why should they?\u00a0 If they do, they might be prosecuted if they have to shoot it out with the criminals.<\/p>\n

Kass provides a long list of victims that stretch back over the last year of Lightfoot’s tenure as useless mayor of a dying city.\u00a0 But she’s working hard to rename the iconic\u00a0Lake Shore Drive after the city\u2019s first non-native settler, the trader Jean Baptiste Point DuSable.\u00a0 That’s right she is brokering a deal to have it called Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive.\u00a0 Now that’s what I call statesmanship.<\/p>\n

I am curious to see which major city cracks first.\u00a0 New York and Chicago are in the running for sure.\u00a0 I’ll define crack as when the National Guard are given shoot to kill orders.\u00a0 I could go out on a limb and say this summer will do the trick but who knows?\u00a0 These city folks will put up with a lot.\u00a0 I’m sure that murder, rape and arson are a small price to pay to put an end to white supremacy.\u00a0 Diversity, equity and inclusion is tricky business.\u00a0 Burning down America’s cities doesn’t seem to be too high a price to pay.\u00a0 Minneapolis, it’s your turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
