#5  So Lori Lightfoot is now supposedly part of a vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The only Right Wingers in Chicago play for the Black Hawks. BTW don’t wear face paint to their hockey games. Just saying.

#4  as the HeyJackass site reveals, homicides are down 2022 and in 2022, they were down from 2021

but car theft, car jacking, and other crimes are way up

with respect to Chicago homicides, a lot of them, probably 75% or so, are criminal vs criminal
