Anita Alvarez is wholly incompetent. She ran her office in such a knee-jerk, sophomoric manner that it was embarrassing. She was hand picked for her position strictly on the basis of gender and ethnicity. That’s the Chicago way.

Kim Foxx, of course, is just as band as Anita Alvarez. Think the crime rate in Chicago is high now? In two years the pundits will look back upon 2016 in Chicago as “The Peaceful Year” or “The Quiet Year.”

I also noticed that some Cook Co. countywide races have no republican candidates. I hope a Republican will run for recorder of deeds.

The crime in Chicago is out of control and Kim Foxx is a step in the WRONG direction.

Latino prosecutor ousted in favor of another affirmative action success story? Pass the popcorn. Trump wins Illinois, twice.
