Democrats in Chicago Waking Up to the Reality of Democratic Policies

It took a while. ‘Everyone is so freaked out’: Armed robbery crews sweep city as Chicago police task forces struggle with brazen crimes

While armed robberies are nothing new in Chicago, a disturbing new pattern has emerged in recent months where crews of robbers — many of them juveniles — toting high-powered weapons go on crime sprees, robbing or carjacking multiple victims in a matter of minutes, often using stolen cars and dressed head to toe in black.

They seem to be constantly one step ahead of authorities. Before police can even respond to one scene, more have popped up, leaving dozens upon dozens of victims in their wake.

The Powers that Be, namely Mayor Brandon Johnson and his new police Superintendent, are trying to spin the situation. It is working too well.

The sheer volume of robberies has left aldermen frustrated and many residents of frequently targeted neighborhoods frightened. At a community meeting Monday evening in Humboldt Park, local leaders, anti-violence workers and police officials attempted to address area residents’ safety concerns and more fully explain the challenges.

"Fully explain the challenges." That translates on you are too stupid to understand what is actually going on, and we need to explain things to you 'better' so that you will go away and leave us alone.

There is a lot more, including interviews with crime victims, statements from politicians, and some statistics on things like motor vehicle thefts.

It can all be summed up as follows:

“The problem is there have been too many elected officials failing to do their duty to keep the worst of people off the streets,” Waguespack said. “North Side, South Side, West Side. It’s bad all around. People are angry.”

But then these are the policies that the people of Chicago have been voting for over the past several years. And not just Chicago, but NYC, and Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and California, etc. It is hard to believe that they didn't know what would happen.
