So you don’t think it’s relevant that most of the guns used in crimes in Chicago come from red states?

 

Also, you’re basically saying that crime happens where people are. 

I can't confirm this as much as I like, but is this article accurate? If true this is what does guns have to do with anything.

You mean the John Kass who worked at the Chicago Tribune for 38 years ?

 

What would he know about it.

The post before this was satire. This one I think is real? Both equally as whacky

Those cities have been there will be there. Nothing has changed.

Remote work and covid changed the game. No longer do people have to deal with the insane crime and cost of living in a city, just for the job.

 

Chicago Like San Fran is having huge issues with large companies moving out and not moving in.

 

But then again, its Illinois and they are near the top for net domestic migration out of it.

Yup.  And it's not going to get better but only get worse.

The city of Chicago might as well not exist to Democrats on the national stage.

 

Yes, that party has ruled the city with an iron fist since 1931, and the dead there has a remarkable turnout rate for elections, but in Washington, DC, the city doesn’t exist. Joe Biden and the swamp gang don’t mention it because they’d have to acknowledge the piles of dead bodies the city racks up annually. While they’ll show up occasionally in the region for a photo-op, they won’t talk about the murders, the drugs, or the terror citizens there feel on a daily basis. It is, for lack of a more perfect word, evil.

 

Republicans have zero say over what happens in Chicago; everything terrible there is directly a result of liberal policies. All the blood spilled drips off the hands of Democrats. They know it; they don’t care. 

 

Why would they? What consequences have Democrats faced for their failure? In the last 92 years, there hasn’t been a blip on the radar of a threat to Democrats winning elections there, so why would anyone give a damn? The city had a chance to pull up, just a little, from its nosedive when they tossed out the incompetent Lori Lightfoot in the mayoral primary last year. But rather than go with a more sane option, they voted for someone even worse. The new Mayor gets more upset when someone refers to murderous goons as a mob than he does any of the murders in the city.

 

Why is anyone supposed to care if the people who live there don’t? If you continually vote for people who beat the hell out of you, why would people care that you’re regularly getting the hell beat out of you? 

 

Still, it’s an embarrassment to Democrats to see what Chicago has become. The same goes for Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and every other city controlled by Democrats for generations. Not all the crime, not all the death, the pointing out of the crime and the death by Republicans. That’s what Democrats are concerned with – the extent to which the white, suburban chardonnay-swilling soccer mom who votes blindly for Democrats become aware of the indifference with which the progressive power structure views human life and how those dots are connected in their heads between the violence and their “safe” lives. If those voters realize they aren’t more than a few election cycles away from their quiet slice of life being overrun by the same mentality, they might not slavishly vote and donate to Democrats.

 

These Democrats in power only care about anything to the extent that it can harm their electoral prospects. In these killing fields called cities, those electoral prospects are unburdened by responsibility – Democrats will continue to mine the votes of people who’d elected the morons they’ve elected to mayor’s offices in perpetuity. It’s the suburbs they’re afraid of losing.

Not just Chicago

Minneapolis has been one of the worst hit, recording 1,899 Kia and Hyundai theft reports this year. That's a full 18 times higher than the same period last year. Cleveland, St. Louis, New York, Seattle, Atlanta, and Grand Rapids have also seen year-on-year rises

 

The root of the problem is that Hyundai and Kia originally built these vehicles without immobilizers. This simple technology prevents the engine from starting unless the car picks up a signal from a properly coded chip inside the key.

 

A reported 8.3 million Kia and Hyundai vehicles are affected by this problem. The ease of stealing these cars has led to instructional theft guides being posted on TikTok and other social media platforms.

The two cities have more in common than automobile theft. Both have had the “benefit” of uninterrupted one party governance for decades. I wonder if there’s anything at all in the policies enacted over the decades that contributes to today’s problems.

The nutjobs believe car theft and other crimes such as shoplifting are forms of reparations so therefore are not crimes.  Until of course, their car gets stolen or they get robbed and then its an issue!  The liberals message is as long as one of us isn't the victim we don't care.

brilliant response. Tiberias-level even. You get what you vote for. In this case, rampant car theft and blaming the car manufacturers for it.

Exactly , if voters don't learn from their mistake it's on them. I'm not for catch and release  , no bail,  even for minors. They have to jail car thieves , shoplifting and smash and grab just to name a few.

They will blame anyone but the criminals, it's the democratic way.
