Now They're Concerned?

Is there an election coming up or something?

  • Gov. JB Pritzker set off a chain reaction last November when he told reporters he’d be open to changes in the SAFE-T Act, which eliminated cash bail and replaced it with a new pre-trial release/retention system, among other things.

    Pritzker was asked about the case of a woman, Bethany MaGee, who was horrifically set ablaze while riding on a Chicago commuter train.

    No direct link between the crime and the SAFE-T Act actually existed, but the news media pounced on Pritzker’s statement that he’d be open to changes, and several downstate county sheriffs and others jumped up with their own suggestions (although it seemed like at least some were mostly upset about the loss of revenues from cash bail).

Granted, this is part of a subcontracted opinion column, but obviously, crime is among the concerns of voters so democrats have to pretend to address it prior to the election season.

To democrats, criminals do exist, it’s just people who do things out of necessity. These morons and their rose colored glasses and the big forced smile that screams mental illness. Liberalism is a mental sickness.

I’m guessing Gov FatAss will weave and dodge, deflect, redirect and blame ending up not changing the law.

Just vote Pritzker out before he does more damage to the people who work, live and visit Illinois.

I want a new governor who will scrap the safe t act and start over.
He or she will not be a democrat..
Democrats have clearly shown they do not represent what the people want.
