B-Man Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Gov. Pritzker hopes Chicagoans feel safer with ‘yellow-vested Peacekeepers’ on the streets Just ahead of the start of Memorial Day weekend, WGN reported that 12 people were shot in Chicago overnight, three of them fatally: But Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wants everybody in the city to know that they should feel much safer this weekend because of a new security measure: This weekend, Chicagoans should expect to see yellow-vested Peacekeepers on the streets. As part of the state's anti-violence strategy with a community-focused approach, these outreach workers will help de-escalate and keep our neighborhoods safe. https://t.co/Qu1cquGaHB — Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) May 25, 2023 https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2023/05/27/gov-pritzker-hopes-chicagoans-feel-safer-with-yellow-vested-peacekeepers-on-the-streets/ . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Gunfire shuts down popular Chicago beach hours after opening for the season by Patrick Reilly A Chicago beach was closed hours after it opened for the summer season when shots were fired during a large brawl on Friday, according to police. The fight broke out among a group of 80 to 100 teenagers at North Avenue Beach around 1:30 p.m., police said. During the fracas, someone pulled out a gun and fired a shot, Fox 32 reported. Fortunately, no one was struck. A juvenile was taken into police custody. The weapon has not been recovered, cops said. The beach was temporarily shut down as police investigated. https://nypost.com/2023/05/27/chicagos-north-avenue-beach-shuts-down-after-gunfire-breaks-out-hours-after-opening/ . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Was just at a wedding and speaking with someone in the arts from Chicago… actively working on moving her family to Indiana because despite loving the city the crime has continuing to grow more violent, frequent and pervasive and impacting their community directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ignorance here is pretty astounding. It’s clear you know nothing about Chicago other than what your bubble force feeds you. The Daleys are gone, and Madigan is going to trial. The establishment mayoral candidate lost. Rochester has a higher homicide rate and Buffalo’s homicide rate is just shy of Chicago. And yet you spout nonsense about the machine and crime, pretending you know anything about what it’s like to live here. The violence capital of the country is a fight between St Louis and New Orleans. Chicago’s homicide rate isn’t even half off that of either of those cities, but I guess none of the actual facts fit your narrative. So just keep throwing stones and shouting your ignorance to the world. Maybe if the GOP had actual real solutions instead of just pandering to the ignorant, they would have a chance. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
