Lori Doubles Down on "Poverty"
Rapidly losing what little support she had:
Then Lori doubles down on the stupid:
- Mayor Lori Lightfoot decried Chicago street crime after the city’s most violent weekend of the year and promised to continue pushing police leaders to better address chronic shootings.
Lightfoot addressed the media outside her office after a weekend that saw more than 50 people shot across Chicago. She stepped outside of a meeting with police brass and city officials that she dubbed “Accountability Mondays,” a regularly planned meeting to go over the city’s policing strategies following weekends marked by violence.
“What I said to them in the opening was, if they’re not going to bed every night and waking up every morning worrying and having a sense of urgency and asking themselves what more they can personally do to fight crime and stem the violence in their city, they’re in the wrong job,” Lightfoot said.
- haven't made a felony arrest in their careers?
- haven't been on fifty arrests reports in any capacity?
- haven't made an arrest in at least ten years?
Then Lori doubles down on the stupid:
- Still, not all of the problems can be solved by policing, Lightfoot said. Much of the violence is the result of decades’ worth of disinvestment across large swaths of Chicago, she said.
“There are areas in the city (where) there is literally nothing. Vacant lots, abandoned houses, no restaurants, no coffee shops, no grocery stores, no parks, no schools. All the things that we know are important to maintaining a good quality of life and providing residents with a sense that the city cares about them, that they have a stake in their own future, and neighborhood after neighborhood on the South and West sides in particular, those things just don’t exist,” Lightfoot said.

Hummm, vacant lots cause crime....didn't know that.....
“...to see the brass pulling on the spandex and wearing capes, leading by example. ...”
Lemmer, Naghode, Waller, Carter, Supt. Ed all wearing spandex. Try to get that image out of your head. Lol
"Still, not all of the problems can be solved by policing, Lightfoot said. Much of the violence is the result of decades’ worth of disinvestment across large swaths of Chicago, she said."
You know who the latest to become "disinvested" are?
Police.
The lack of support and continued kow-towing to the chronic whiners and complainers is also to blame for this mess.
The Ferguson Effect is in full "on" mode, deepened by "leaders" who are more concerned with their careers than the well-being of the troops.
As Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"

All the things that we know are important to maintaining a good quality of life and ............
Such as 100k Mercedes and an UZI style weapon
lori just smoke.. when smoke clears.. lori's bs liberal crap in full view
Eddie just leave now.. You won't make it past 15 Sep...Tony you too.
What neighborhood is she referring to. Take Englewood for example. Theres a Starbucks. I dont have one in my neighborhood. Theres a Whole foods dont have one of those either. A few Charter High Schools. Nope dont have any of those either. All new light poles and led street lights freshly paved streets new curbs and sidewalks. I'll stop there. You cant possibly be this dum lori.
Mayor Lightfoot must move with her family to a home within a half mile of Wilcox and Keeler in the 11th District. .This would have a powerful affect on lowering crime in the most violent district in the city.
011 leads with 30 murders this year, almost twice the runner-up district. It also easily leads in total violent crimes, shooting incidents and vehicle theft.
Whenever I read this kind of finger pointing about the problem being disinvestment, I have to ask: so what have you personally done, Ms. Lightfoot, to address this? As a private citizen, did you establish an after-school or job-training program on the south side? Did you open a coffee shop or little grocery on the west side? Why didn’t you get a government grant to fund programs or support business development in the “community?” Instead, you made it your life’s work to go after the police who are the only people trying to actually protect the people living in these areas.
And to be fair about those vacant areas, Lori,
what are YOU doing to remedy this. Reaching out
to corporate leaders? Trying to lure tech companies
to Chicago (in addition to the ones we already have)?
It's like when Obama said about companies leaving
the U.S. How are you going to stop them?
Well, Donald Trump picked up the phone and
persuaded them to stay here.
(But then again, Obama, you never really had any
practical business experience. Not even ringing
the cash register in the corner drugstore. It would
have served you well to learn how real people make
a living.)
Boy is she ever in for a few surprises of her life. Go ahead and continue to shit on your troops and run them off to friendlier departments.
She will be out there with her security detail answering calls.
She needs to park her ass in a patrol car every Friday and Saturday night in district 10 & 11 for 6 months.
Oh it exists. Or maybe it existed. But it was destroyed by people....or folks.
This is the part nobody ever talks about and if they do they are immediately tagged racist! Example, I just visited the Marquette Park area two weeks ago, specifically 72nd and Talman where I grew up in the late 70s thru early 90s. It was never the best of neighborhoods but it was safe. People took care of their property, small shops were on 71st and the park was a great place to go and play, picnic, fish or just relax.
What I saw two weeks ago was a shell of that and my guess is the new residents did that to themselves. They moved in at some point to a good established neighborhood which was safe, had decent schools and working families and turned it all to crap!
This cycle won’t end because the mayor wants to sprinkle money that Chicago doesn’t have towards resources that won’t work. The other thing is that Chicago is running out of decent neighborhoods to ruin. What the mayor needs to do is have “that talk” that Obama never had and start holding the community responsible and stop putting the blame on businesses, police and schools. Responsible parenting will be the only thing that fixed the “poverty crime rate”.
The old folks from back-in-the-day
had a phrase for Madame Mayor and her ilk
who are so deliberately clueless, willfully
ignorant and obtuse...
"Educated Fool."
Madame Mayor is just a little outside
herself because her constituents keep
showing the world her ass so she feels
she has no choice but to double down on
"Poverty" as a causative for "all this
crime up in heah."
She's half right...
Spiritual Poverty.
Moral Poverty.
Ethical Poverty.
Poverty of Impulse Control.
Poverty of Initiative.
Poverty of Pride.
Et Cetera.
Ad Nauseam et Ad Infinitum...
Game over Kermit. You are officially a moron. Maybe someone should show you some before and after shots of those south and westside neighborhoods. Perhaps Geoffrey Baer of WTTW can do a documentary. The good neighborhoods were destroyed . Why was that ?
Remember ICE theaters? I think it stood for inner city entertainment. I know there was one west and south. Both are now closed. There was also a Starbucks by the theater in 11. That actually lasted longer than I thought but eventually closed. You know what hasn't closed? The hundreds of liquor stores throughout the impoverished parts of Chicago. Sorry but all the coffee shops in the world won't change crime. It has to start from within and the police will have about 1% influence on the outcome
I actually had some small sliver of hope that she could at least produce something positive for the city of chicago....in the last week it has been confirmed she has no idea what needs to be done or even how to do it...may be the first step would be to quit blaming police for all your problems and actually listen to them on how to tackle the violence...its your chicago now lori..burn that bra darling and bask in the glory you have helped create.....nirvana here we come baby
Maybe if chicago wasn’t welcoming c noted for criminals and their supporters the future would be brighter. I mean really who wants to live amongst criminals? No peaceful law abiding person does. Time for them name their supporters kicked to the curb.
Lightfoot really shows how much she doesn’t know this city. She’s falling back on the age-old bullshit excuse of neighborhoods having no investment, but as the mayor of this city, she should know that isn’t the case at all. Let’s take the shooting on the 1200 block of North Mason for example - Lightfoot says it was due to lack of schools, parks, grocery stores and coffee shops. However...within a mere two mile radius there is Hatch School, Whittier School, Flagg Elementary School, St. Angela’s Catholic School, Brunson Math & Science Specialty School, LaFollette Park, Andersen Park, Davis Park, Taylor Park, Jewel, Pete’s Market, Food 4 Less, Walmart, and a fucking Dunkin Donuts.
Now what’s your excuse, Mayor Lightfoot?
She's gonna learn the the ways of the hood one way or another. At least we haven't heard "Chicago Values", or "take it to the alley". Maybe if Rhambo wasn't so hard on the chicken filet joint they woulda ooened ip in the hood and spread some prosperity. Id only chicken peeps had good chicago values things coulda been different. Just kidding.
This can cause unnecessary stress on individuals,shit rolls down hill Eddie filling the pinch which will force commander to put pressures on officers to do something that could back fire will quick. Has the mayor ever gone to bed worrying about a case when she was a prosecutor? I thought it.
The reason there is areas with nothing is they ran the business out. I remember a store a woman had ran for over 40 years with her husband. Her husband died and she said I will run my store until I die. Six months later she got robbed at gun point in her store and said I’m to fear full to go on. She closed, lived 15 more years, lived above store but never opened it back up. How could you not feel sorry for the woman.
I have never seen more given to a more ungrateful bunch of assholes. As I was reading this I was in the beautifulOgden park in Englewood and saw massive construction going on. The south and west sides have nothing but beautiful parks, new libraries, new sewers, beautiful field houses, a lot of newer street, etc...
It’s all a joke. And the joke is on the working class.
Answer STOP and FRISK Lori that easy
Nobody is going to invest in those neighborhoods until you, Mayor Lightfoot, back up the police, order strict enforcement of the laws and lengthly sentences for the offenders. And stop with the phoney argument of disinvestment in those neighborhoods. We have been pouring money, taxpayer and private, into those areas for years. About 20 of the major cities in the US that are going down the tubes are controlled by your party, the Democrats, you take some accountability and stop the bs about finding new strategies.
If the rest of us can get what Lori is smoking then none of us would care about what is going on in this town. If this is what the mayor is really thinking then this town is certainly finished.
Shitcago values,Trump free zone, santurary city, DemocRAT policies, police reform you will a one term mayor lori.
I must have missed the mobs of uniformed and plain clothes police that burned down the neighborhoods?
After all, aren't the police the ones that are shooting all these poor innocent black men too? (A Chicago Congresswoman said so!)
Just look how they destroyed Mt. Greenwood.
Free money, free food, free everything leaves a lot of free time to bad shit. i feel sorry for the actual people trying to get out of the ghetto by taking 3 buses to a minimum wage job only to come home and find some turd burglars. stole what little they worked for.
Ms mayor, f you read this...... I don’t know how many times I have to say this. Some people can’t be helped. It doesn’t matter how much money, rehabilitation, etc you throw at them. The police can’t fix everything. The police are a small cog in the wheel. You want the violence to stop? Blame Dart, Preckwnkle and JB. Refusing to approve felony charges, refusing to prosecute, ankle bracelets and early release (from county AND IDOC are the ingredients for the shit soup currently being served. You have to hold the state’s attorneys office, the sheriff and the prisons accountable for their roles in this.
Years ago a Junior Achievement teacher created a lesson for his third graders. After they learned about “urban poverty” they were eager to invest in one of those neighborhoods to improve the lives of the people who lived there. So they pooled their play money and bought an apartment building. They had to visit their property every week. The first week they find all the windows broken, so they called a service to come out and board up the windows while they shopped around for new windows. And so it went, every week it was something. All the “urban” problems. Graffiti, squatters, empty promises of paying the rent, etc. until they decided to sell the building. When the teacher asked why they wanted to sell the building, a little girl stepped up and said that they were wasting their investment money.
It’s a simple problem. The problems are caused by people who don’t give a shit about themselves or anything else. They have no moral compass. Until policy makers have the courage to make people accountable for their own actions, nothing is going to improve. No amount of funding, grants, tax revenue or welfare is going to fix what’s wrong. This “helping the poor” bullshit started in the sixties and hasn’t worked or helped anybody yet. So for God’s sake, stopping saying it has or it will.
Who the hell wants to run/open a business anywhere near where these animals live? And that’s OUR fault? Please, typical feel sorry for me BS. As if they are in the remaining “good” areas to play basketball and/or shop...
She’s as stupid as they are.
I call BS. Those neigborhoods ALL have beautiful parks and schools. And businesses open in these neighborhoods only to close eventually because of the non stop stealing by customers and employees. Hard to run a business when you loose money every day.
Lori has no idea about Chicago....knows nothing about the city's history, its neighborhoods, it's change from working class to minority status....she is clueless.....not her fault, because.....how do I know, what I don't know?......meanwhile, the shootings and killings continue, and the liberals say....maybe we need more coffee shops in the ghetto.....
address the lack of parenting: as the root causes of family cultural deterioration results in the end effects to alcoholism, drug abuse, illiteracy, lack of spiritual values these precipitating factors contribute to disruptive and violent behavior-blame the democratic legislators for giving away and the abuses of social welfare programs! a society of enablers and now legalization of marijuana these legislators want to keep these same peoples in a slave mentality! Lightweight you are contributing to the problem by not talking about the truth!
These people are out of their fricken minds. We’re the police. We enforce laws. We arrest people who break the laws the politicians put on the books. Those broken laws result in consequences ie jail time and fines. However when people are arrested and allowed free on little or no bond at all and eventually given a pass and no jail time or fines there is no reason to not commit more crime. Stop blaming the police!!! These gang bangers who are doing the shootings and committing the murders for the most part have been arrested several times and usually for violent offenses such as weapons charges yet they suffer no consequences for these offenses.
LL wants to hold the police “accountable” great start bring her the numbers every Monday of how many people are arrested for weapons charges and aggravated batteries. And then follow up on just exactly how many of these people are kept off the street. Then maybe we will see just who should be held accountable.
I’ll give you a hint 99% of the problem is all within one area on the corner of 26th and California. From Foxx to Dart and everyone in between.
“There are areas in the city (where) there is literally nothing. Vacant lots, abandoned houses, no restaurants, no coffee shops, no grocery stores, no parks, no schools"
Lady, except for the vacant houses, you just described rural living. Also, everyone there has guns. So something tells me it's something else.
Yes, the disenfranchised at North and LaSalle. She already dug her grave and following Rahm’s mistakes.
Get rid of the police cars by your house. They should be on patrol for the people and they are making our block look bad with police cars 24 7
“decades worth of disinvestment” = generations living off the public dime and not giving a fuck.
Where is Father Fake her trusted Law Enforcement advisor on all this. He must be hiding in his condo on the North Side. This city and state is a joke.
Hey Lori who made those lots vacant? People from Edgebrook? ♠️
now it's disinvestment. bravo lori, that term needs to spread like wildfire. the socialist agenda of the great society is never short on excuses.
Nothing but MONEY has been thrown at it for decades!
Here's another thought Mayor Munchkin, If these idiotic brass leaders havent come up with a solution over the past years on how to solve this violence, then what makes you think they will now?? Or better yet, doesnt this clearly tell you that these leaders are NOT CAPEABLE of their positions???? Take your head out of your ass and make the change...get rid of these morons NOW! Save us all time and grief and more importantly, the city! I NEVER seen a mayor come into office and keep their main man in charge and his team who fail consistently year after year and not get fired for his incompetency. Time to say BYE-BYE. Otherwise Bye-Bye Lori in 4yrs. I have more questions then answers.
Just like that video the other day on CWB "We gonna fuck shit up!"
it's about location location location.
a tent city of homeless in austin or englewood would be a massive upgrade.
Again, I hear the SAME fucking thing form this mayor like I heard from The little midget and fat head for years...This change I promise will not happen overnight, it will TAKE TIME...well Mayor, we have heard this statement many many times and still havent seen ANY change, just how long will it take??? Mayor also goes on to say this kind of violence will NOT HAPPEN ON MY WATCH...Yea ok, tell that to the shooters and your other little outstanding scholars, good luck on that....LMAO!!!! Looking forward to the 4th, this will be better than the wild wild west!!!

There were buildings there that were left without maintenance until they were abandoned. Then the vacant buildings were said to cause crime so they tore them down. Now they're blaming the vacant lots?

I hope you are not a police officer. You should know better. You need articuable reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop someone and then further you need to articulate why a pat down was necessary. That is in the Constitution. The same one you took an oath to defend and uphold.
Go to Fifth Ave. and Kedzie, in 1988 corner lot made into a park cost 80k back then and a few years later destroyed by the inhabitants...
Can't wait until she decides to put the new casino at 63rd and Halsted!!!!
It’s always a cry of poverty when there’s a blizzard and the West side/Englewood crowd can’t be bothered to shovel their snow. Even if the city gave out snow shovels at food pantries, under ‘free’ cellphone umbrellas or at report card pick-up day, that shovel would instantly disappear and 311 would be flooded with calls for snow removal help. Funny that when groups of teenage thugs smash-n-grab Michigan Avenue or shoplift throughout Wrigleyville, nobody seems to steal something practical like a snow shovel, lawn fertilizer, a lawn mover, paint, etc...
Give the disenchanted more free stuff, don’t charge them with their crimes, don’t hold them accountable and come down hard on the police. I think that’s a good receipt for a solution. Stay strong and stay fetal. Do your jobs but do not do proactive police work. Please don’t forget how we have been treated by the politicians. Now the politicians are expecting us to solve the problems that THEY have created. Don’t fall into the trap, let them solve the mess themselves.
Exempts Felony Arrests????? Too funny!!!! They were all paper jumpers as Patrolman and the biggest one is that idiot Carter with all those fake medals he wears.
Hey Lori, unless you offer the ghetto rats CEO level salaries, where they get paid to stay home and do nothing, no amount of jobs will stop the thuggery.
Lori wants police to combat the violence, yet the police aren’t allowed to do their jobs with out the fear of lawsuits or termination. Has to be one or the other, and the brass should be telling her that! The liberals brought this upon themselves.
New crime fighting initiative.
A Starbucks on every corner.
Noe, kees me you fool!!!!
here is a suggestion lori:
http://freewestmedia.com/2017/12/09/philadelphia-bans-bulletproof-plexiglass-for-shop-fronts/
lets accelerate the disinvestment of all the liquor stores on the south and west sides. especially the politically connected 24 hour emporium near lake/cicero.
Bitch please. Englewood has over a dozen parks and most of them are newly renovated. And until recently it also had 4 high schools. Yet Mt. Greenwood has zero high schools and old run down parks. Lori is perpetuating fake news and a false pretense. I'm shocked she didn't blame the Russians.

Definitely agree,and look for instance Target closed, they tried to open a "big beautiful store," over east to help the "black folks," in the "food deserts," but the theft was so high even this huge chain could not cover the massive theft and bullshit. The only reason whole foods is still alive at 53 and halsted (btw the prices here are the lowest compared to any other whole foods stores), they have 24/7 CPD marked squads assigned and yes they are free to the store,along with extra plain clothes officers assigned to watch the parking lots what other stores are allowed this?
Go into many stores over their Lori,look around and notice the bullet proof glass, the overpriced items, the "gimme your money fool," as your food be put in that glass bullet proof turnstile and your food is spun around to you after the cash is paid never before gee Lori why is that? Lori address the crime problem your people, grab crimesha by the belt and tell her to do her job, then also make that crazy toni realize she is another part of the problem and needs to resign immediately!
If your a copper and your not fetal you need psychological help quickly, if it is worth losing your family,home,career,freedom for the ghetto stupidity have at it,and your fund raiser can be in a phone booth. barry obama used a word about police the highly educated (lol), man says police acted "stupidly," so stop acting proactive and act "smartly."

Lightweight is a socialist.
Socialists believe all human problems are caused by inequalities of wealth.
Socialists believe that the solution to all human problems is to redistribute wealth.
Because socialists have no real understanding of reality, they never solve problems.
We will have four years of this.
Why do you suppose there is all that disinvestment Lori? I don't see it in Lake Forest, Willmette, vernon Hills etc. What could be different?
How about what they did to the boulevard
I think the police would step up more, if possible, IF they saw that the offenders were actually held accountable according to the law.
Face it, the Democrats in power in Cook County have created the environment that actually encourages the crime because it's without consequences.
Have a fearful and meaningful criminal justice system in Cook County and it will have a direct impact on the repeat offenders that place the working police in an impossible position of an uphill battle, not to mention the lefties position that the 'Police' are the problem.
Know where to start to make it end.
No coffee shops. No grocery stores. No parks. No schools...
How about No father figures
How about 16 year old mothers that would rather be at the party than raising a respectable young adult

Ahh hope and change: changing to new in the hopes decent people will move in. Lol we all remember when the projects were new. If you don't, simply think if any new building. Look what happened in the highest taxed section of the city: never snow plowed, pot holes in the streets, run down public school, rat infested parks, and crumbling sidewalks. That is, until the already pocket picked taxpayers rebuilt much themselves and shortshanks friends showed him the roads and sidewalks when he visited.
Visit any ghetto school yard: it's strewn with broken glass and debris. Anything goes and it usually does.
Oh and all those vacant lots in the city: owners grew tired of paying taxes and fines for the ghetto behaviors against tgeir property. It's simply cheaper to bulldoze the house, creating vacant land, and wait until the ghetto minds stop funnin, and learn how to behave. Axe any vacant land owner why the formerly decent house was torn down. Of course, it's always the white man's or the police's fault anyway.
I can only hope that she doesn't actually believe this fairytale bullshit that she is spewing. She has to ask herself why private business doesn't invest in the shit part of the city. Perhaps because they actually want to make money instead of doing monthly reports to corporate about inventory lost to theft. Perhaps they can't find employees to show up on time or with any idea what work and customer service is. Perhaps they don't want to pay for the extra security needed to dissuade mobs of teens from bum rushing the store.
Look corporations don't give a shit what color your skin is...they respect one color..GREEN. If they can make money in your area they will set up shop. If they are loosing money...see ya.
As for a tech company setting up shop in one of these hoods...good luck. They are all phony as fuck "liberals" who preach it as long as it isn't in their neighborhood.
Remember shopping at 63rd and Halsted?
How about those hot summer days taking the bus to rainbow beach?
15 use to be nice a long time ago guess who ruined it....
Lori’s not from here, she knows nothing about any of those beautiful places that they ruined
haven't made a felony arrest in their careers?
haven't been on fifty arrests reports in any capacity?
haven't made an arrest in at least ten years?

Sadly an all too true and frequent story.
Anyone seen the new store in olgilvy train station? You can't gain entry unless you have the amazon app on your phone. Everything is computerized. While the mini tollgates work in civilized society, bet they'll need full bullet proof glass doors in the ghetto. Maybe thats the only way stores csn survive in their hoods. Use link cards for access and prohibit exit. Though they'd only start a fire to escape with the whole store contents.
Maybe annex them to an island to fend for themselves, vuild their own shelters and grow their own food to teach responsibility or perish?
Every do gooder should stop enabling them. Youre wasting your time and money as well as your brain space over useless guilt. Help only those who will work along with you. No pearls after swine anymore.
How much longer until Loriville reverts back into urban prairie like Detriot?
Madam Queen Mayor, you do realize that many of these shootings are occurring outside of these so called "decades’ worth of disinvestment across large swaths of Chicago". Shootings this weekend occurred at Clark and North Ave, Chicago and Lake Shore Drive, Cermak and State St, all of which are very affluent neighborhoods and have noting but investment. The problem Ms Foot-in-the-mouth" is that the criminals have no fear because there are no repercussions, so they commit crimes wherever and whenever they choose. The same police you now criticize for not doing enough are the same ones that you criticized for doing too much when you were at OPS and on the Police Accountability Task Force. You protected the criminals then and the chickens are now coming home to roost. You made your bed and now you must sleep in it, for four more years. Good luck, you are going to need it. By this time, 2023, the city of Chicago will be an epic war-zone thanks to you and your policies.

I have a way to fight crime .... BRING IN THE REALTORS. No one want to admit it, but we all know it don;t we.
Welfare is the problem. You want more $ from SSI - DON'T GET MARRIED. Way to ruin an entire class of people, Democrats. Hey, the only way to ruin them more is to give them a free pass when they commit crime. I see you're well on your way to that. Congrats. In 50 years it'll be way worse.
Lori said we are all responsible for crime. How's that Lori? Please explain yourself.
This gal's going to make people pine for 2016.
Yes, Re-Investment In The Community ! Great Idea ! Didn't The "Last" president endorse that ?
"Shovel Ready Jobs" !!! How did that work out ? Oh, Never Mind, Look Over Here !!!
Community Activists Work Best, When They Are Pointing Out The Wrongs Of Society. Once You Put Them In Charge, They Haven't A Clue, On How To Correct Them.
PS: Have A Nice Day ???
Lori should invest in the neighborhood by moving there and sending her children and relatives to school there. There would be no better example than her showing us how its done. I am absolutely convinced Englewood will rise out of the ashes,

What have we learned in the past few years? Emptied the jails & crime went up! Stop holding repeat, repeat, repeat offenders, crime continued upward! States Attorney stops charging even obviously guilty suspects and VIOLENT CRIME INCREASES! New Mayor comes in & has novel view of how the south & west sides are victims & IT IS THE POLICE FAULT! Does the Mayor think police forgot about JVD conviction for shooting an armed suspect who interrupted the LSD traffic while higher than a kite? What about the responsibility of these people (victim's) to help themselves! How about ALL the freebies available to help them to climb out! How about the BS policies that don't let the police do their jobs and cause the truly defenseless to suffer the consequences of those people and folks who have no value of life & torment them!
Hey Mayor, GET REAL and realize that you need the police to do their job & actually help them do the job for the sake of the city, county and state!
Never was so much owed to so many by so few.
-Churchill was off a bit.
She also said this:
Lightfoot said, “There’s a lot of causes of the problem, and we need to make sure that everybody in the entire criminal justice system understands the urgency and is doing their part as appropriate to hold people accountable.” Lightfoot also said she will be talking with judges and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office about making sure gun offenders aren’t allowed back onto the street soon after gun offenses.
“We can’t have a set of circumstances where the Police Department arrests somebody on Friday and they’re back out on the street — for serious gun offenses,” Lightfoot said. “I’m seeing some data that gives me concern, and I certainly will be talking to the chief judge of the entire system, chief judge of criminal courts, and the state’s attorneys about what we need to be doing better as partners to make sure that violent offenders are not cycling through the system so fast that they’re back on the street before the ink is dry on their paperwork.”
Lightfoot has made curbing gun violence a central goal of her administration.
“I’m upset as a human being that we’ve had so many people shot (and) so many homicides,” Lightfoot said. “I want to make sure our city is safe.”
Like anyone who saw the horrific video of the young lady shot holding the baby I was sickened. What further disgusts me is the lack of accountability for young men of color(mainly African American) and the ineffectiveness of our elected officials. Mayor Lightfoot call it what it is, Savagery. I am a 27 veteran who grew up in Englewood, worked in Englewood and watched the death of my beloved neighborhood. For a Mayor to downplay the cause/effect of a lost generation where the horrific is normal and the normal not possible and simply throw a spitball with “Poverty” at the wall is downright cowardly. Don’t blame the police when a thriving savage behavior becomes common place.As proud man of color we are begging you.
Authentic liberal jibberish. Scapegoat the police. People need to feel safe to invest in an area. Too many gangster that live by the gun. Too many lives drown in drugs and alcohol. Too many bad lifestyle choices. The community cries out for help.... but, only on their terms. Only what they want to hear. The problem is in the mirror
Overly altruistic or out of touch with reality, either way, Lsquared, people need to take responsibility for their actions.
Look, I’d love to drive down the Kennedy at 100mph, but it’s not safe, someone could get hurt and I can’t afford the ticket and subsequent increased insurance cost, does that mean we should do away with speed limits or build race tracks for those who like to drive fast? Using your logic, yes. Next time ISP pulls me over, may I ask them to call you to explain your reasoning so that the nice officer doesn’t do his/her job of preserving public safety and enforcing the law?
So if the kids from the community have a park to play in, crime will go down? Riiight. Harken back to about 1971 when my brother and I were riding our bikes through a park in Rogers Park. We were just kids. All of a sudden, an honor student, also on a bike, approached us and tried to steal our bikes. Instead of enjoying the park, the little turd was up to no good and doing the same thing his grandkids may very we’ll be doing today. Btw, that kid really should have enjoyed the park instead of trying to relieve us of our bikes. If memory serves, the young lad took an unfortunate fall from his bike that resulted in a black eye. Hopefully his vision wasn’t impaired so that he could ride home safely.
Clearly her majesty the mayor needs to summon the feathered fighter to strike terrific terror into the criminal hearts. The winged warrior will fight crime and evil in the city. She must summon CHICKENMAN immediately! It's the only answer. He's everywhere, he's everywhere!
One of my parents grew up near Washington Park. They said it was a lovely community...until it wasn't. First people stopped caring about the public areas, then their own lawns, then many of the old neighbors got the hell out and ran for the suburbs when the crime and other negative factors started increasing. Where she grew up is now completely ghetto -- burned out abandoned houses and vacant lots.
This isn't a poverty issue. It's a pride issue, it's an accountability issue, it's a "wanting your kids to have it better then you" issue. These things are missing in some communities, not in every household of course, but in enough that anyone trying to better themselves is swimming against a pretty violent current. What appears to be easy money (the street, the gangs, the EBT lifestyle) doesn't register as a full-stop lifelong mistake until it's generally too late.
These politicians, media, pastors - fake or otherwise - they could step up and hold the communities accountable for themselves, and blast that from the rooftops. But until the people involved in the mayhem and nonsense hold themselves to a higher standard, and enforce that with their children (and other people's children, the way it used to be), nothing will ever change. And they'll go on blaming everyone and everything around them. This is how societies die.
On her interview with John Kass, on WGN radio, she stated she was not aware of the problems on the Red Line. Really? There's a propaganda TV show about it now! She will be looking into the problems now LOL!

Blah blah blah blah blah. Bang bang bang bang bang. Rinse lather and repeat.
I love how "...literally nothing. Vacant lots, abandoned houses, no restaurants, no coffee shops, no grocery stores, no parks, no schools..." is equated with "...a good quality of life and providing residents with a sense that the city cares about them, that they have a stake in their own future..."
A Starbucks and a vegetable stand make people feel "loved" by their "city"? City "services" are required to provide the sense of a "stake in [one's] own future"? How about, PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE CRIMINALS? Or REDUCE TAXES? You know...eliminate the bad shit that Chicago has allowed to fester for the last 30 years. There are people who live in areas with population densities of 100 people per square mile. I don't hear them complaining, and I'd argue that they may be happier, safer, and financially better off than anyone living within Chicago city limits. For the mere fact that they DO live amongst "literally nothing". How is this POSSIBLE?
But it's a great snapshot into the mind of a liberal statist.
Can't wait to see the strategies that commander's throughout will implement to stop crime this summer. I know a very effective one in 025 is making sure that when 30 sector cars go down that that beat is covered by a 20 or 10 sector car until they're back up. Leaving the 10 sector and 20 sectors bare. Leaving cars scrambling to take a lunch with a relieve. It's quite a show on the radio. The 1300 Mason shooting will have never happened had this plan been up again for the summer since it was so effective last summer, NOT!!!I'm going to look forward to accountability Mondays like Monday Night Football now. Thank you for the entertainment Mayor. It was getting dull with lame duck Rham.
I am so tired of this narrative. Yes certain areas don't have a lot of the things she mentioned. But who in their right mind is going to open up a restaurant or store in some of these areas? The disposable income just isn't there AND its too dangerous.
Oh and lets not forget an important fact. Most people in these neighborhoods are not shooters/killers, etc. So if it was just based on the area and/or not being well off more people would be involved in this destructive lifestyle.
But,guess she needs to keep spewing the Democratic narrative. I'm not a Republican either, just someone tired of this line of thought being shoved down our throats.
Does Lightfoot think Coffeshops,etc, will stem the violent attitudes of the savage gangbangers? As they say in the hood" She Be Tripp'n"!
Gee, they closed down Starbucks. I think I'll go beat up Asians on the train or steal a purse from the Magnificent Mile.
Disinvestment? Food Desert? Poverty Crimes ? How about Cabrini Green and The Marshall Field Homes, Proof that those words are BULLSHIT.. Let's bring up Jim Crow..
“haven't made a felony arrest in their careers?
haven't been on fifty arrests reports in any capacity?
haven't made an arrest in at least ten years?”
To have the above questions factually answered, regarding the police related activity of the brass, would be so entertaining and enlightening.
For example, Chief of Detectives, Melissa Staples, I would love to know how many Box 1 or 2 arrests she has had in her stellar career.
“Remember ICE theaters? I think it stood for inner city entertainment. I know there was one west and south. Both are now closed. There was also a Starbucks by the theater in 11. That actually lasted longer than I thought but eventually closed. You know what hasn't closed? The hundreds of liquor stores throughout the impoverished parts of Chicago. Sorry but all the coffee shops in the world won't change crime. It has to start from within and the police will have about 1% influence on the outcome”
Don’t forget about the CVS on Kedzie and Madison that closed about, what was it, 2 years ago now? Bunch of restaurant/bars that are vacant in 011 after being shut down because the community can’t behave themselves. Brown sugar on Madison on the border of 011/12 got shutdown because of the community. Gas stations, the only place to get some stuff in the ghetto, get robbed and burglarized regularly. Anytime you put anything nice in these areas, they’ll ruin it. They’ve proven it time and time again.
Lets face it, Lori is nothing more than a far left liberal who thinks that government is the answer to all of the problems in certain areas. How many neighborhoods were middle class, decent, safe places to live in. I lived in the Gresham neighborhood for many years. In the last 60's the neighborhood started changing from white to black. The house we lived in was the first for my mother and father. They were very proud of the fact that they owned a home. In order to afford this home both parents worked. My dad was a laborer and my mother a stock clerk. In other words they did not have good paying jobs but they put a roof over my head and food on the table. My nights I had hamburgers and pasta. The night Martin Luther King got killed someone shot a shotgun into our front living room window. That was it for my parents. They sold the house and moved around the Midway area. I remember that night like it was yesterday. My mother and father hiding under a table and my dad had a gun in his hand. That once nice neighborhood now is a shit hole. There were many places one could find employment. AS the neighborhood changed so did the industries that were there. They all moved out. Why?
It's the noxious city soil of the south and west sides. These places are literal landfills of black aspirations. Why not subsidize and move them to fertile suburban soils, where their aspirations will grow, blossom, and ripen like raisins in the sun?
Again we (CPD) are the bad guys! When will people learn this is the type of police department they wanted, not proactive but reactive. Back in the day you would stop a car full of shit heads, or put everyone on the hood if the were deep on the block. We didn't have the shooting and homicides back than that we have now. Well get use to it Miss Mayor, when court and jails let them out, to go right back to doing what put them in jail the first time. Stop the bullshit about they have nothing to do so we need to give them more, the people in these neighbor hoods have soo much money going into them it is crazy. This is a life style to them, eat, fu k, sleep, drink and hang out and get a check every month to do this.
The facts. We have a lame duck racist states attorney and a wimp of a sheriff that refuses to house violent criminals . We have a big influx of new officers that are taught by officers that have very little street experience to begin with. They are taught T.V.B's are real police work and tact teams that are making bullshit arrests by following the beat cars like kids following a ice cream truck. Getting event numbers especially PCI numbers to sound like we are making progress is very pathetic and to justify the fact we have daily good interactions with the public is also so pathetic. Headquarters has a bunch of self absorbed individuals running around with big egos not having a clue nor do they fully support the backbone of the department although most of them cheated or fucked their way up the ranks. Wonder why the suicide rate is up no confidence in our department yet alone this city like beating our heads into a brick wall. The men and women in patrol are the backbone of this department. We can't get the support or necessary equipment upgrades yet spend thousands on camera and CDC rooms. Then we have city council crying the city is broke doing everything in their power to short change our pensions that they promised when hired and eliminate our benefits when we retire yet they seem to always walk away with great retirement packages. A city council that manage to pass unnecessary projects without asking the taxpayers wasting thousands if not millions of tax dollars instead of spending on fixing crumbling infrastructure or paying obligations like pension debt all while raising taxes yet cutting services. Oh lets us not forget the over use of the word TRANSPARENCY and a society that has created a anti police sentiment. Chicago is dying along with those that are trying to defend it.
Poverty, responsibility, and character are not mutually exclusive traits.
Usually I have no pity for the Boss's, vapid little clout shits that they are, but honestly I feel sorry for them having to sit there while this woman holds them accountable for these little motherfuckers running wild.

Crimesha has crook county teams working to expunge 100s thousands pot arrests, convictions..what next? thefts under $1000 in cook county
Grew up in the Chicago Lawn area in the 50s and 60s and graduated from Lindblom in 67. Lived in the burbs after that but got into Chicago Lawn now and then until the early 70s. Bicycled to the 63rd & Kedzie area from Summit in late 85 before moving out of state and was getting bad vibes even then. You couldn't pay me to walk around in there now. Street-viewed the block I lived on near 63rd & Kedzie not long ago. The buildings still looked (mostly) okay in the street view, but there were a LOT of fences and quite a few gates with keypad locks, and a lot of bars on basement windows -- don't recall seeing nearly that many fences when I grew up there, and the keypads and window bars probably wouldn't be there if they weren't badly needed. Bloody shame.
Lori - and leftists in general - need to understand one basic truth, and that is that businesses are created in order to make a profit. And it's pretty difficult to do that when 1) you can only stay open during daylight hours so employees can come and go without being raped, mugged or murdered, 2) you have to deal with 5-finger discounts that often outnumber actual sales, 3) your suppliers won't come to the location, so you have the added burden of having to pick up your goods at a distribution center, and 4) you have to include bulletproof glass and anti-theft equipment in your building design. When there was only one Kroger store left on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, the company would relocate their worst managers there hoping they would quit, rather than firing them and then having to pay out unemployment. When it became too expensive and risky to keep the store open for this purpose, they closed the doors. When the folk decide they'd rather have grocery stores and coffee shops in their neighborhoods instead of crack houses and chop shops, then maybe they won't be "disenfranchised" any more.
Here we go again, an official memo just came out from Deputy Devereux to the 1st, 2nd 3rd, 18, 19, 20 and 24th districts that they MUST have at least 1 marked squad with its emergency lights activated pro-actively going up and down lake shore dr./lakefront every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday Nights until further notice...So Again, the fucked up brass bosses we have (that have NO fucking clue whats to do) do the same bullshit we did in the past and proved not to be effective in cutting crime...all its doing is taking a beat car or 2 (with midnites being short manpower anyway) and doing absolutely nothing while other cars are answering service calls and going into backlogs...just more brainy ideas that WILL NOT work. Nothing will ever change until we get competent bosses and a mayor in this city.
Eventually the decision needs to be made to actually provide protection for ALL of Chicago or hurt the feelings of those who contribute absolutely nothing to society. It’s that simple, those who will suffer the worst are African American Children and Women if nothing is done. It’s that simple, data and common sense dictate that a certain demographic is going to commit an overwhelming percentage of the crimes and is manipulating the word racism to flourish.
SCC, Can you reprint a letter to the editor at the Chicago Sun Times written by retired CPD Lieutenant Bob Angone. The title is: "To stop Chicago's gang violence bring back 'Stop & Frisk, '." It was in the 3 Jun 19 issue.
Stop and Frisk? Haha. Who the fuck is gonna do that?
Tomorrow will mark the 75th Anniversary of the most important military battle of the modern era in D-Day. 75 years ago 17 and 18 yr olds weren’t shooting women holding babies they were volunteering to protect their country from a madman. With 2 high school age children it amazes me how little attention they pay to the historical importance of liberating Europe from the NAZIS. When Social Justice and global warming dominate impressionable minds and actual heroism and horrific sacrifice are downplayed that is pathetic.
OT just read they are charging Parkland deputy fit being Fetal. Be careful how and wher you do it look out for cameras.
011 leads with 30 murders this year, almost twice the runner-up district. It also easily leads in total violent crimes, shooting incidents and vehicle theft.

Interesting. Emergency equipment activated without a police emergency? So this will possibly cause an accident
Early Some weekend morning, Lori should take her family for a walk. They should start at Kedzie and Roosevelt and walk west to Ogden. This used to be a vibrant neighborhood with businesses, synagogues, churches and homes, until it was burnt down in the riots of 1968. Poor Black people (African American had not come into use yet ) acting out their anger and frustrations. Then she should drive her family over to Pulaski and Madison. A once thriving business center that rivaled the loop. Same story here. These areas have not recovered, and may never be what they once were. Lori doesn’t know this because she was growing up on bucolic Ohio. Not the west/south sides of Chicago...which she really doesn’t know the history of.

who knows what Mayor Lighfoot ( AKA Kermit) thinks, if she dosent realize that in some areas of the city urban warlords and wana bees are the real dynamic and wants to make the police dept brass accountable she is truly disconnected from planet earth much less Chicago more likely she knows but is just doing the political calculus and taking the appropriate position to maintain her position
We need more coffee shops in the ghetto so the hood rats can slip on the floor and sue for a million, test the shop about it’s buy nothing but get to use the bathroom policy, grab a handful of muffins and bolt out the door and harass, rob, Apple pick, carjack those buying coffee...

Oh man. That’s it right there.
I personally fight crime by: waking up early, getting kids ready for school, dropping them off. Then I eat breakfast at home before daily chores then I begin to ready for work after making sure my husband can ick up kids when school is out. THAT is how I prevented myself from committing crimes. Maybe some some certain communities could try it for a day
Accountability monday. Wheres our contract? Who should be held accountable for that?

"Disinvestment"? Lightfoot has cause and effect backwards. It's crime that drives out investment. Investors will go and invest just about anywhere that a profit can be made. That is the dynamic that has driven the global expansion of capitalism as an economic system over the past four centuries. The investments that matter most to the quality of life in a given neighborhood aren't the ones from the big corporations but the ones from small businessmen: the mom-and-pop stores, restaurants, ice cream shops, garages, beauty salons, etc. But there is one thing that investors big and small value more than a profit -- their own lives. Corporate execs can safely invest at a safe distance from centers of death and mayhem. Small businesses generally cannot. Few small businessman will risk their lives to set up their shop in a war zone where they're a target. It is the unending crime that drives all economic activity out of Chicago's black neighborhoods. Until crime is recognized as a real problem in itself, a problem to be combatted here and now -- rather to be excused -- there will be no investment in these neighborhoods. But it's easier to blame everyone except the criminals for these neighborhoods' plague of crime.
Decades of disinvestment, she says...funny how that timeframe matches up nicely with the beginning of the Democrats' strategy of catapulting someone else's money money into the ghetto. Watch Lori spend the next four years blaming everyone and everything but the actual cause of urban America's myriad social problems.
OT. I see there is a bill in Alabama to castrate child molesters. Why stop there any person who sexually assaults another should be castrated or sterilized in the case of women offenders. Talk about tough on crime. More power to them. How about sterilization after the second bastard child. Would save city and state a ton of money.

The block north of the newly revamped marshall field (MF) project now has a 1/2 way house and right across the street, a woman's shelter. Across the street, a bit south $800k homes are being built. The blocks from schiller to north ave and surrounding areas will never recover. Ever see the grade school on the block behind that project? They open the doors and ALL the children walk across the street into Marshall Field project.
Worse, multple trash cans exist in front of MF project and 1500 block of Sedgwick. The ferals toss their trash over 5 ft high fences, the sidewalk and the street.
Remember the destroyed projects south of the newer 18th district police station? The city is gut rehabbing them and moving ferals back in. Yep, you can't afford a gut rehab, but these ghetto wonders are getting brabd new, tricked out homes they'll immediately turn into shit boxes, then sue the city.
Oh and a developer is building $500k homes, with i believe set aside housing, across the street frome the afore mentioned police station. Who would ever live in violent and pay $500k plus high taces and assesments to never step outside?
011 is and was the best. 1995--109 homicides in the district.
From day one....how do I get re-elected. Does anyone think she is going to alienate the brunt of her voters by telling them the truth?

OT. Just hope the politicians take note of the gas tax, cigarette tax and auto registration increase and give us a big raise. One doubled and one went up 50%. J.B. is going in with guns blazing
So Monday's will be accountability sessions with the Mayor, Ed and his "Mutts" that claim to provide Police Leadership for the city. Ed, does she yell or scream at you. Does she threaten your staff. Or maybe she's very clinical, direct and very prosecutorial in her line of questioning. Just wondering.
What does Special Ed tell the Mayor about his new strategies to stop the killings and mayhem. How about the Mutts - anything of value from the grey and balding "Wizards of Smart". Rumor has it, the Mutts use a Wisdom Rock, fortune cookies, or that 8 ball talking thingy, and on holiday weekends they use special juju beads and animal entrails. The Mutts routinely rotate these high tech crime fighting tools to keep the criminals off balance and fool Lori for another week.
We are all holding our breath in excitement and waiting for this weeks new crime reduction strategy. Ed, you should know the troops are betting on your favorite crime fighting tool for this weekend. Heavy wagering is on the fortune cookie strtegy. You get some really good ideas inside those cookies and you also have a late afternoon snack too. Just don't eat the paper.
Ed you are one smart dude. Keep coming up with more good ideas like last weekend. Well... maybe not so much. But I'm sure you're only one fortune cookie away from real success.
I have a question. Does anyone know if any of the Chicago Lottery Winners paid by City of Chicago invested any penny in da hoods? As far as I am concerned the total sum is around 700 million..

No.. the grab the check and ruuuuun!

In the meantime she doubles down as she recites from the old worn out democratic playbook entitled "It's always somebody else'e fault". Her constituents love the classics.
Hey, Hey, Jeff Bezos moves to NYC for a cool $80M.
Buys 3 penthouse apartments overlooking Madison
Square Park. Over 10 bedrooms.
My guess is that Mr. Amazon is perfectly safe in NYC.
NO CHANCE of wilding teens stopping his moving
vehicle in traffic, while one alpha male jumps up
on the hood and dances. Yes, Mr. Bezos, you made
the correct choice. You will be safe in NYC because
NYC Police have policing power and the major is
behind the force.
You were all good until the last part. De Blaisio hates the police.
Speaking about two recent homicide cases, Chief Hall said, “There are individuals in this city who have returned from prison who cannot find a job, who are not educated. In those instances those individuals are forced to commit violent acts.”

Can’t find a job and must resort to violent acts because folks are uneducated and served time in prison? That’s unconsonsciable, who wouldn’t want to hire these folks?
News flash, Chief: people without criminal records who have college degrees have struggled to find jobs. But here’s an idea, Chief, why don’t you hire these people as your babysitter, handyman or parent’s caregiver? Go on, give em an opportunity. Problem solved!
On another note, Chief, can I ax you a question? Is there a chance that lack of parenting, lack of respect for others and the glorification of thug life has anything to do with the fate of these folks?
I’m so tired of people not being held responsible for their actions and now the people in power are blaming everything and everyone except the criminals. This is out of control, stop coddling criminals and start heavily penalizing their crimes. If there’s no deterrent, you’re simply fueling the fire.
A lot of us grew up with humble beginnings and/or in poverty. Krimesha grew up in poverty and look at her stellar career.
I don’t have the fancy credentials that Krimesha has, but here’s my story: My dad was kicked out of high school, his father was a womanizing alcoholic who left my grandmother with three kids. My grandmother worked retail to make ends meet. My dad got his shit together after being drafted, but life wasn’t glamorous. As a kid, our family of six fit into a used VW bug. That’s what dad could afford. Back then, those cars didn’t have heat. Second hand clothes, a second hand bicycle and canned food was the norm. We lived within our means. My siblings and I all went to CPS, the same school system that folks in the community have access to. We didn’t necessarily like school and we didn’t receive the best education (we weren’t the best students admittedly), but our parents did a decent job of teaching us right from wrong. We don’t steal, commit violent acts and as a result none of us have been to prison.
Many kids in the community wear shoes that to this day I can’t afford, their parents drive cars that I can’t afford and they shop at stores that I can’t afford...yet many appear not to pursue education and choose to blame everyone else in the event they do something wrong. WTF, be responsible. Instead of putting emphasis on clothes, cars, becoming a star, feeling entitled and showing disrespect for humanity and the law, how about getting that education, a job and waiting until you’re a responsible adult to have a child?
Lastly, whomever hired the Chief should be fired along with the Chief.
There was a McDonald’s on Clybourn across from Cabrini in the late 80’s. It’s no longer there. Take a guess what happened.
Many of those vacant lots on the west side have their origin in the King riots. I don't remember scores of white ethnics descending on the west side and burning it down. Buehler? Buehler? Anyone? Lori?...
OT. Just hope the politicians take note of the gas tax, cigarette tax and auto registration increase and give us a big raise. One doubled and one went up 50%. J.B. is going in with guns blazing

I cannot stop chuckling! You are too funny. The dry delivery is the best. Did you ever think to compete on a talent show for the best stand-up routine?
I was in Public Housing at the time. It had a grand opening at 1100 hrs with all the fanfare. It was robbed about 1430 that same day. The first of many.

OT. I see there is a bill in Alabama to castrate child molesters. Why stop there any person who sexually assaults another should be castrated or sterilized in the case of women offenders. Talk about tough on crime. More power to them. How about sterilization after the second bastard child. Would save city and state a ton of money.

Chemically castrate. It's all political theater. Totally reversible with drugs you can purchase over the internet.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall was criticized on social media and by police association leaders on Monday night for a comment she made during a news conference Monday afternoon.
Speaking about two recent homicide cases, Chief Hall said, “There are individuals in this city who have returned from prison who cannot find a job, who are not educated. In those instances those individuals are forced to commit violent acts.”

She'd be a perfect fit for any city controlled by the democRATS.

Agreed - she's a shit show. "forced to commit violent acts"? What did they put their illegal gun to their own heads? Yes they could afford an illegal gun, but not the bus fair to find a job. Oh and didn't Uncle Trump just give prison record folks a leg up getting a job? Yes - she's the perfect stupid demonrat.
That McDonald's became a ghetto medical facility.
