And CTA Yet Again

Cut the Federal money already:

• Chicago police are asking for help identifying three suspects who appeared to be in exceptionally good spirits after allegedly robbing a woman at knifepoint aboard a Red Line train downtown.

  CPD released surveillance images on Tuesday showing the three women smiling broadly as they waltzed along the State-Chicago Red Line platform shortly after the robbery on Monday afternoon.

  Police said the 26-year-old victim was riding the train when the three women confronted her and took her valuables while displaying a knife around 3:27 p.m.

  CPD described the suspects as three Black women. One was wearing a black jacket, pink pants, and white gym shoes. Another was wearing a pink jacket, black pants, and white and gray gym shoes. The third had a nose ring and was wearing a black jacket and light blue jeans.

Can you guess why they were all smiling and laughing?

• Because they know there are ZERO consequences for robbing and threatening victims a knife, even on the off they're caught and arrested

You know what will stop it....and wipe the smiles off their faces?

• A CCL carrier ignoring the "no gun" signs the way criminals do, or an off duty cop, or even a retired cop (though we have no idea why a retiree would be riding the CTA) shooting and killing one of more

This was at 3:27 in the afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed.
