#1 Good Lord! Gangs are gonna eat the feds up! They are picked for their affinity to go after the Left's political opponents on the Right not deadly gangs such as Chicago's Black Disciples, etc. etc. etc. ...

#2 The chaos was the whole idea from the beginning. Thus making people miserable and creating more recruits for the hard left.

They cannot win when people are happy. They have to create misery. Yes, this is in their literature and is not a secret.

#9 ...and not the people using them?

Of course not, silly! It's called "gun violence", not "interpersonal people shooting each other violence". Once we get rid of all the guns, everyone will magically become nice.

#12 Why do liberal cities keep electing *freaks*?

I can pretend to understand why liberals elect liberals. But some of these people don't even function well in their own lives and have no business in a leadership position. Why do white women and some white men have no discernment when it comes to these matters?

#15 A good start to saving Chicago would be for Lightfoot to resign. However, IMO Chicago has been under Dem corruption for too long to be saved.

#18 This was all part of their plan. I have said it all along. She defunds the police. crime goes up. The feds take over the police department, funding means ownership. Now the city does not pay and the fed have a model for federalizing local police...

#19 The Story of Lori, or, Angles and Dangles

As if from the brow of old Zeus
There sprouted a pole and... a noose?
No, omen of doom, go!
What glowed in the gloom
Was the cold golden egg of a goose.
