"Illinois House bill would force Chicago grocers,
gas stations to hire armed guards ."

What does this say about he people who inhabit Chicago, Illinois?

Why would anyone want to try to do business in Chicago
or even live there?

And how indifferent, uncaring and aloof is the
Illinois legislature to the well-being of the
citizens of Illinois and Chicago who are being
victimized by that State's criminal class?

LOL. Security guards who would open the door for the shop lifters as they exit with their loot.

The decline of America.

Seriously, I had a similar thought as you, just dang! That’s pretty bad if the legislature is trying to force armed guards for GROCERY stores.

i thought that was wut they paid taxes for, you know like the CPD...

Corrupt Mayors often use police departments to protect 'elites' (like themselves) and to babysit the black community.

And the citizens who pay the taxes? They buy security systems for their homes, try to work two jobs so they can get into a gated community, and arm themselves so they can protect their families.

Now this carp... corrupt mayors want shop owners to hire security - then they'll restrict what the security people do - so more thefts will happen, prices will go up, and the hellhole cities will become more unstable.

There is a solution.

STOP BABYSITTING THE BLACK COMMUNITY. The perverse incentive system causing this toxic crap would take forever to explain so just STOP BABYSITTING THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

This is how it’s done in Costa Rica and I imagine other Latin American nations. Big guy lets you into the ‘bodega’ where you are watched. Pay for your stuff and the big guy lets you out. Never felt tempted to find out what happened if I left without paying.

It’s sad seeing our nation descending into third-world status.

“..What is going on there that it’s so bad it had to come to this???...”

Absolutely.
It’s ruled by the BeetleJuice demon with a weekly “kill” quota.
It’s a fricken’ war zone: Beirut, USA. Little Mogadishu on the Lake.

That will be the problem in Chicago. Rest assured the security guards won't be permitted to use force. Just say pretty please, leave the bag of our stuff. Use of force will get the guard charged and the store sued.

“I grew up in a Chicago suburb and remember walking across the loop from the RR station to Michigan Boulevard to go to the dentist a few times a month when I was a teen-aged girl.”

My “desk” is in the area, you would be talked to by the sidewalk sleepers but your would make it to your dentist having been subjected to an adult confrontation of the progressive state. I see the 18-24 year old kids going to the overpriced art classes have problems and generally tell the vagrant to back the fuck off as I pass. In the general case they do, otherwise 911 is very rapid for that neighborhood. Most 14 year olds today would be able to adapt if we let behave like teens instead of preschoolers.

In daylight hours, the box of Roosevelt, North, Western and the lake during daylight hours are just a progressive utopia drug induced shit show, only deadly or violent after dark.

The US is looking more and more like Central America and parts of South America.

Just arm the guards with heavy duty guns and dress them in military fatigues to complete the look.

Wait a min, guns are bad, enforcing laws is bad. Stopping shoplifting is bad. Sophie van forcing businesses to hire armed security guards a good thing.
Oh, I forgot about liberal logic.
