Rumbles between gangsters now de facto legal in Chicago, though it seems this particular case is not really that.

Sorry Lori, this is the world you and yours made even if it finally reached a point you consider too much.

For completeness, here is the same story in the Trib:

This precedent would have real potential if it also applied to vigilante-gangster violence. But I’m sure a Soros prosecutor would come down hard on that.

The state’s attorney’s office, however, declined to charge any of them, calling the evidence insufficient. A police report further noted that prosecutors told investigators charges were rejected because the shootout involved “mutual combatants.”

Translation: "They aren't white."

Sounds like Kim Foxx and the prosecutors are afraid of these animals. Their decision will just make things worse.

That is Oak Park, it appears.

What has caused gang activity to happen in Oak Park? That was a higher end, western suburb.

Pray for the law-abiding people of Cook County who can’t afford to vote with their feet.

God help them.

Every day it becomes more evident that urban America is unlivable. Any place with a critical mass of Democrats is alien to rational and decent people.

Kim Foxx is a paid liar. Wasn’t she the one defending a World Class Championship Liar named Jussie Smollette?

“This was an incredibly horrifying situation that has impacted a neighborhood and our entire city. And people are righteously angry, scared, frustrated,” she said. “But we still have an obligation to adhere to the law.”

Translation: We might get caught in the crossfire on our way to the "Defund the Police" rally.

Just for grins, Groot, why don't you regale us with examples of what this chaos might look like.

So we know when we see it.

So evading the police, illegal possession, discharging firearms, felon in possession, are just a few things I can come up with that are illegal and prosecutable for all these jokers regardless of who shot first and who was defending. Also, it is a pretty safe assumption that vehicles entering this neighborhood were not ambushed but were the perpetrators. I don’t see this as muddled as the prosecution says it is. At a minimum, they should get these idiots of the street for a year or two.

Hey Chicago, you keep voting these scum in because they have the skin color you like. Sorry to say this (not really), but this is all on you. Enjoy the suck.

Kim Foxx, the Soros-backed leftist Cook County States Attorney, is a protege of Cook County Board President Preckwinkle who lost the mayoralty election to Lightfoot.

My belief is that this is partly being done deliberately to cause enough dissatisfaction with Lightfoot enable Preckwinkle to win the next election.

Lightfoot is certainly no prize, but the Machine opposing her is willing to have hundreds killed simply to gain power.

Supt. David Brown agreed that the shootout was between “mutual combatants,” saying it wasn’t immediately clear who fired first and who may have been acting in self-defense.

You're enjoying brunch when all hell breaks loose!

Grabbing your AR you dump a full magazine into each car, you think. The guy sleeping it off upstairs believes he made a few hits into the cars with his 9?
And somehow they drilled the lot of them.

So, what laws did they break?

I don't care who they hang with or their police record.
What laws did they break?

They misread the address and hit Burt Gummer's house.

Hit the wrong goddamn house, didn't you, you bastard!

What laws did Burt break?

It's disgusting that Kim Foxx is still around, still in power and doing her thing.

Doesn’t Beetlejuice understand that this is the 21st century and only white supremacists can be sent to jail?

For “parading?”
