1. “Instead, Preckwinkle said, “let’s focus on the people who are committing violent acts against other people.”
2. “What do they say when I talk about how the jails are full of black and brown people, do they have anything to say about that? You know. Ninety percent of the people in our jail are black and brown.”
Preckwinkle is not going to be able to square that circle.
“Preckwinkle is not going to be able to square that circle.”
Oh, but she will try.
Here’s what people need to understand about Chicago. The gangs and the political class have a symbiotic relationship. The gangs make sure that folks get out to vote on Election Day.
Yep. That’s what I said.
The pols use the gangs as street level precinct workers. In return the pols turn a blind eye to the hundreds of murders, nearly all of which are at least tangentially related to the drug trade.
THAT is why Preckwinkle and her ilk are so adamant about calling drug offenses “non-violent”.
Sure, the CPD and the Feds will have a “major” bust from time to time. The higher ups get some tv time, crow about what a good job they’re doing, some low level sub 70 IQ types the gangs wanted to get rid of anyway go to prison, and in 2 weeks it’s right back to what passes for normal in Englewood, Pullman, Garfield Park, etc, etc, etc, ad infinitum.
It’s the Chicago Way and it’s been going on since Prohibition.

Not true. In a Democrat's mind anything is possible as long as they can shout down the opposing point of view (or in the case of liberals working with the MSM only present the liberal point of view) Logic doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Truth doesn't matter. This is why you cannot reason with them, nor can you bargain with them. They feel no remorse for the lives their policies ruin or end, and they have so sympathy for those who survive. And they do not quit - ever. There is no middle ground and they can only be defeated or they will defeat us.
