Indeed. Every weekend, the toll is displayed all over the nation and much of it is concentrated in “gangbanger” neighborhoods. Just like Biden and his staff, however, that are sounding like my 5-year-old Grandson in “WHAT cookie in my hand???” and denying he’s not to blame, so are the Chicago leadership doing the same in their jurisdictions.
Most often, they lay the blame on surrounding States that have more Constitutionally oriented gun laws even as they’ve created a Merry-Go-Round environment: arrest thugs, book’em, bring’em to Court, and then a gentle wrist slap, and they’re turned out onto the street.
It is a war in the Chicago environs but why should WE be concerned with it if Chicago’s leaders refuse to Follow The Law and handle these miscreants the way the Law demands they should be.
You brought it onto yourselves by coddling them this long.
It’s your problem and we probably should “withdraw” from them. Given that Democrats control the Federal Government, however, that’s not likely.
Instead, Biden will do what he always does – makee the wrong decision and send boatloads of other peoples’ money down the drain in useless exercises of appearing to be doing something while making things worse.
