Chicago

[HankB]

Democrats count the votes in Chicago, so Republican candidates often don't even run for mayor. Some years back, the D's wanted "an investigation" of the GOP for not running a candidate for mayor in Chicago - they were upset that the GOP put ALL their Illinois campaign money into places where they could - and sometimes did - actually win. The D's got the bright idea of making the GOP waste money in rigged Chicago races instead, but they couldn't actually come up with a way to force that.

The gun guy in me notes:  I watched that video a bunch thinking that maybe the weapon was a PGO shotgun, but I think it was a sidefolder of some type.  You can clearly see when the guy gets out of the car and one hands it there is nothing protruding back from the receiver.  What I took at first watch to be a small mag protruding down from the middle I know think is a folded stock.  I don't actually see a magazine in that admittedly blurry video.

Which begs the question:  what was it really?  I wonder if these robbers just brandished an unloaded, LAW Adapter equipped and folded AR?  Or was it something else?  Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I'm just curious.

Chicago public schools has apparently lost a few laptops and iPads.
Guess how many.
77,000 in one school year.
Yeah...........

The Chicago Sun-Times reported this week that while 3 percent of CPS's "technology assets" went missing in the 2018-19 school year, the figure was 8 percent in 2020-21 and 11 percent in 2021-22. Either students have gotten almost four times more careless, or somebody has found a juicy new revenue stream.

Notice I did not say that students lost 77,000 laptops and iPads, although surely a few careless students really did misplace their equipment. But a couple of things don't add up.

Wow, that's almost one for every four students.  Sounds like organized crime.

This surprises me not one bit. CPS is notorious for blatant mismanagement incompetence and corruption, just like the city and county government.
My step daughter taught high school in an urban Chicago public school for 5 years. The place is full of people who won’t be fired for not doing their jobs.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has a bold idea to reduce crime in Chicago: refusing to prosecute offenses that are discovered during routine traffic stops.

Under the policy, her office would decline to file drug, gun and theft charges in cases that begin with traffic stops for minor issues, such as having an expired vehicle registration, a missing license plate or nonfunctioning brake lights and headlights.

Kill someone?  Put the body in the passenger seat of your car and go run a stop sign.

But they can't just stop doing the traffic stops.  That would cut down on revenue.

They caused her to miscarry. From the article:

The pair were each charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and released pending court appearances.

And the teens though to have caused the injuries have been released

Edit: As your above quote says. Overlooked it.

Honestly, I kinda hope they get killed before their court appearance.  Save everyone a lot of trouble.

Over 100 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, including 18 fatally.

Mayor Brandon Johnson blamed it on Richard Nixon in his press conference today.

No, that is not a joke.

Naturally.  They have to be able to blame "someone else" as their own records show their ineptitude.

To really understand Chicago, one must read "Second City Cop" and "Hey Jackass."

You will thank me!

Apparently the Statue of George Washington at city hall had to go to make the place "more current".
The order has since been been rescinded.
