Contrarian Articles

Another couple good ones up on their site.

The first one deals with the SAFE-T Act leading directly to violence against the police:

• When you build a system that frees violent criminals, you don’t get to act surprised when it kills a cop

  Anybody who lives in Chicago knows what’s going on.

  Anybody who reads the papers knows what’s going on.

  Anybody who’s paying even the slightest attention knows this city has turned its criminal justice system into a revolving door for violent offenders.

  Except, apparently, the people running the criminal justice system.

  Because if they understood the reality they created, maybe Officer John Bartholomew would still be alive.

The second is Porkulous lying about the SAFE-T Act:

• During the 2022 campaign, Bailey made the exaggerated but memorable claim Chicago was “living The Purge when criminals ravage at will and the cops are told to stand down.”

  Bailey was alluding to The Purge movie franchise, where one day a year, people can commit crimes without facing punishment.

  The Loch Ness Monster

  Not true, Pritzker answered back. The SAFE-T Act was written to protect a mother. A mythical mother, the Loch Ness Monster of petty criminals.

  The governor, many times during the campaign, repeated this lie.

  “Making sure that we’re also addressing the problem of a single mother who shoplifted diapers for her baby, who is put in jail and kept there for six months because she doesn’t have a couple of hundred dollars to pay for bail.”

  ‍Yes, I said Loch Ness Monster, because such a woman — sorry “Nessie” believers — never existed, except in Pritzker's imagination.

  Eventually, Pritzker added baby formula to the mother’s “the heist.”

  In response, Patrick Kenneally, who was then the McHenry County state’s attorney, and 100 other Illinois county prosecutors — out of 102 — opposed the SAFE-T Act, and in a lawsuit called the law a “clear and present threat to public safety.” And Kenneally said that under Illinois law prior to the SAFE-T Act it was impossible for Loch Ness Mother to be jailed pretrial for simply stealing diapers, calling Pritzker’s claim “misinformation appealing to emotion.”

  And amid that discussion, Pritzker launched another lie.

  "Well, let’s just set the record straight with everybody. The SAFE-T Act is designed to keep murderers and domestic abusers, violent criminals in jail.”

  Yet Talley, despite being a seven-time felon who was accused of violence, a parole absconder, and someone who stopped charging his electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, was not locked in a jail cell on the morning he allegedly murdered Bartholomew.

The articles are far to extensive and detailed to quote, so head over to the links up top and take your time reading them.

Keep spreading the word - there's something brewing out there. Don't know if it has momentum yet, but people are getting sick and tired of the lies being told.
