Bad Timing by Demonized Yutes

Democrats tell the Administration to stay out of Chicago. After all, "crime is down."

Just ignore this: 

• A Chicago man who was arrested late last month after allegedly running from police with a gun is now accused of robbing and carjacking a man with a machine gun just three weeks later.

  [...] Melvin was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and released from custody the following day.

  Exactly 20 days later, around noon on August 20, Melvin resurfaced in Countryside. Armed with another gun, this one fitted with a switch to make it fully automatic.

And pay no attention to this:

• It may still be August, but business people across Chicago are already planning for the Christmas shopping season. Those business people include the city’s ever-present shoplifting mobs, who need to stock up on high-end merchandise that will later be sold at a discount online.

  One such team went on an inventory supply run Sunday evening on the Magnificent Mile, hauling away up to $100,000 in designer handbags that will almost certainly appear on apps and Facebook Marketplace within days.

  At about 6:55 p.m., around 10 people raided the Louis Vuitton store inside Nordstrom, 55 East Grand, according to witnesses and Chicago police. After scooping up the store’s handbag collection, the crew fled in two or three vehicles that were waiting outside. A couple of bystanders recorded the getaway.

  [...] An officer who responded to the scene reported a preliminary loss estimate of $100,000. 

And for God's sake, stop looking at this!

• A 17-year-old boy has been charged with viciously attacking three people in River North early Saturday morning, just hours before video of the assaults spread widely across social media.

  According to a Chicago police spokesperson, the victims—a 30-year-old man, a 31-year-old man, and a 35-year-old woman—told officers they were walking in the 700 block of North LaSalle around 3:54 a.m. when a group of strangers came up from behind. The offenders began punching and kicking the victims, then ran away, according to CPD.

  All three victims were transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in fair condition, police said.

  The attacks gained wide attention Monday after video surfaced online showing one of the victims lying unconscious on the sidewalk as two passersby rummaged through his pockets. One of the pocket-pickers appeared to be a security guard.

If you want to see the video, there's a copy oat this link here - it's pretty messy.
