  1. Chicago crime stats, in an easy to read format, including area of the body where one took the shot, trends, with T-shirts available to show your concern…

    I don’t know what percentage of Illinois folks were unvaxed, but that could play a role too. Hopefully this is addressed. Those folks MAY have had it coming…

  2. During an interview on local radio, a former Chicago Police Superintendent pointed out that the Chicago murder numbers would be much worse if the gang members knew how to aim their guns instead of spraying bullets in all directions.
    Year To Date
    Shot & Killed: 220
    Shot & Wounded: 988
    Total Shot: 1208
    Total Homicides: 265

  3. Speaking for my nearest BLUE city, Oakland, CA … yes! Just ignore communist mayor Barbara Lee. She’s a lifelong idiot and communist. She’s absolutely NOT saved the city of Oakland. It is unsafe. There’s no way I will go to Jack London Square and Yoshi’s Jazz club, or downtown and the Fox theatre to see music acts. My car would be missing, or smashed to pieces after the show … if I’m lucky and don’t get a knife to my throat and gun in my ribs. Most of the long established restaurants have gone out of business … because no one will venture into the KILL ZONE to dine at them.

  4. Well. from what I have observed in recent years, making america great again will entail a massive effort.
    Not sure if it can be done.
    I watched a Pete Santanello episode wherein he went from tony Mar a Lago to squalor a few miles away. Does Trump drive in that area?Ditto most cities.
    And now it has to be “police state” shite?
    Then there is every western nation and stupid canada.
    The long march and the gradual now sudden development is going to require some civil war. I deplore that idea. But would that enable the bastards to lock us down more.\?
    Sound planful?
    have a nice day.

    1. Police state. Don’t make me laugh. The UK’s police are now monitoring … speech … and flying the St. George flag, and undercover cops are warning and arresting (white) men who cat-call and wolf-whistle at female joggers. Yeah, let’s arrest a bunch of red-blooded MALE construction workers. THAT’s what a Police State looks like.

      Trump is actually fighting … CRIME! Real crime! Committed by actual CRIMINALS!! Keeping innocent people safe.

      Yeah … the Beatles accurately described the UK police of today … the 1984 police … utter piggies.

      1. Yeah, cat call a British woman and you’ll get arrested.

        Rape her? Nothing to see here folks.

        Welcome to progressive Britain.

  5. World class?
    Not even close.

    Next month I’m moving to a small community where kids in the 6 to 10 year old age bracket walk through town un-escorted on their way to the town swimming pool, and then stop at the general store on their way home and buy ice cream.

    Safety and sanity is a choice.

  6. Trump should also save us in GTA by idiot mayors like Comrade Chowsescu or Horvath etc. But we’re not 51st state and judging by the imbeciles with the chicken dance, we will forever have these Zeroes as leaders.

  7. cant help but suspect the brit cops thinking to themselves in moments of private candor, something akin to the nuremberg #1 defense: ‘ve vere zhust fossosink horders’
    how long before THEY are replaced by robots to ensure complicity in future?

  8. Yes, yes they do. Pity it had to come to that, but here we are! People led to believe that their rights come with no responsibilities on their part is why we all can’t have nice things — tale as old as time.

  9. This is a case of “the good old days.”
    Sally is remembering things better than they actually were.
    I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, a few years older than her. Chicago was a dangerous sithole in 2000, just like it always has been.
