Are these kids just showing their approval for the new Chicago mayor?

Beyond scary. And idiotic. I live in West Michigan just 90 minutes from Chicago. One my firm's main offices is in Chicago. My oldest daughter, who loves art and the Art Museum, will not go to Chicago anymore. She simply does not feel safe.

Lori had half a mind to stand with the police when it really got bad. The new Mayor has outright contempt for them. And thus...kids are emboldened to "go wild".
 
I didn’t think it was possible for any new mayor in Chicago to be worse than Lori Lightfoot, but I’m likely to be proven wrong:


Remember, they voted for this…..
I'd like to ask some of those idiot voters why they continuously vote democrat. What are they trying to achieve? Is their life somehow better with democrats running government?

Chicago is destroying itself to attract major conventions with all this chaos. Who would be dumb enough to choose Chicago for a major convention. Oh yeah, I forgot who would be dumb enough. I guess Illinois nor Chicago is blue enough to not have to worry about the vote?

When I was a kid, they had the Dimtard Convention in Gatcago, summer of 1968. I didn't know anything about politics but I remember it being like the Summer of Love. 😂

...and now voting for a socialist. Lori L. was a democrat and had at least some pro-business and "law and order" tendencies.

Answer is simple: Race and identify politics tied to people's natural affinity biases. Why do people from Alabama vote for Tommy T? Because he looks and talks like them. Same here.

Ultimately, the community needs to police the community. At the end, they need to make the difference.

But the culture is always to blame someone else, point to systemic racism, ask for reparations versus just making a difference.

It's one of the tightest gun control cities in the country.

Not trying to turn this into a gun control debate, but when the rioters have guns and the law abiding citizens don't, do you want them to "police themselves" with good intentions?

This is what it looks like when only the bad guys have guns.

I totally understand how the culture is attracted to democrats but, at some point, don't some of them recognize that their lives aren't getting anything but worse?

If I lived in a crime infested crap hole, I'd be begging for more police.

Yes, that's exactly what Chicago needs.....more guns.
 
Yes. Because no guns is working out really well.

This is a perfect example of who has the guns being the problem.
Of all the problems this nation has, would you put lack of gun 'rights' at the top of the list?

More police won't stop the crimes. It's deeper than that.

Those more guns would be in the hands of LAW ABIDING citizens.

Which means there's zero additional risk to LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.

Could pose a risk to the criminals, but you're too emotional to see that. ARREST THE GUNS!!!!

I am an absolute believer in 2nd amendment rights. I differ from the board in terms of background checks (and appeals), red flag laws, concealed carry, etc....but if the law is not going to get enforced and I cannot move, I will reserve the right to hold an AR-15 in my home, if I need to, in order to protect my family.
 
Show me an open carry state when teenagers are doing this.
Specifically to this, I am not sure but the crime rate is high and many "gun/red" states as compared to "gun restrictions/blue" states. Of course the blue cities have a higher total because they have more people. That's why I am not completely sold on needing "more guns". My conclusion is stats based.



 
No.

The data is shown as a ratio per 1000, 100k, or per capita precisely for that reason.

That removes population from the equation.
Apparently statistics isn't a required anymore at UF. As much as you hate that class you still get this. 😂

Are there democrat open carry states?

Seems to me, THE problem is.....democrats with easy access to a massive number of firearms.

The solution is a two-parter:

1. Reduce access to guns.

2. Put democrats in jail and keep them there.
 
In Chicago, yes I would.

Why haven't they taken all the guns from the criminals? It's a gun-free zone isn't it?
I think we know the answer to that one. "Because that's racist". The courts are turning the rats back into the streets as fast as they are swept up. Cockroach catch and release. And that's why Citizen Z needs a firearm to protect themselves when the system isn't allowed to do it's job.

Except it isn't.

"Gun ownership is higher in states with fewer restrictions, and homicide rates in these states are lower. People can protect themselves," George Mason University Professor Emerita Joyce Lee Malcolm told Fox News Digital of what she's found through her research. Malcolm pointed to a study on burglars from 1986 that found 34% of burglars interviewed reported "to having been scared off, shot at, wounded or captured by an armed victim."

I live near Indianapolis and travel (usually drive) to Chicago for business often. 3 months ago I was approached by one of the wonderful inhabitants of Chicago while sitting at a stop light. I carry (even though Illinois is not reciprocal with Indiana) and if I did not have my weapon I am not sure I would be typing this right now. No shots fired, but he tapped on my window with a hand gun and told me to get out I reached in my console and showed him I was armed. He went away, probably looking to prey on someone else. And unfortunately due to a liberal mayor and DA Indianapolis is going the same direction as Chicago.
 
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

Oh I know, but that comment was me replying to people who will bring up the total number. I was getting ahead of things.

Per capita should always matter when discussing crime, IMO.
