You can’t make this stuff up<\/a>.\u00a0 Even Al Capone couldn’t run amok like this.<\/p>\n

“A crime spree unfolded recently in Chicago that evoked a scene from \u201cThe Godfather.\u201d In one of the more memorable moments in movie history, the Corleone family leaves a severed horse\u2019s head in the bed of the fictitious movie mogul Jack Woltz as a sign of their power. Earlier this month in the Windy City, thieves broke into two northside stores and stole cash registers. They emptied the contents and then dumped the empty registers on the front lawn of Gov. J.B. Pritzker\u2019s private home in Chicago\u2019s swankiest neighborhood.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

And:<\/p>\n

“Consider, for example, that Chicago saw six children shot\u00a0this past Tuesday in just a matter of hours. The violence commenced with the afternoon murder of a 15-year-old high school freshman, Caleb Westbrook, who was killed in broad daylight as he walked home from school on Chicago\u2019s west side. The ages of the victims shocked even a city very accustomed to war-like street violence. Chicago \u201cwon\u201d the dubious\u00a0title\u00a0of America\u2019s deadliest city in 2021, with almost 800 total murders, the most in over 25 years. The death toll could have been higher but for expert emergency room skills in Chicago hospitals, because over 3,500 people were shot in Chicago in 2021. Local health care workers have become so proficient at treating gunshot wounds that the U.S. military\u00a0sent\u00a0 medical staffers to Second City hospitals to train before deployment to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m glad to hear that Chicago is reaching Mogadishu level so quickly.\u00a0 As I’ve often said it will take rampant cannibalism to finally force the inhabitants to admit they’re wrong about police and crime.\u00a0 Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
