“Mayor Lori Lightfoot” Is Not The Name Of A DC Comics Character

How bad is she? So bad she’s become the first incumbent Chicago Mayor in 40 years to be ousted.

Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson will meet in a runoff to be the next mayor of Chicago after voters on Tuesday denied incumbent Lori Lightfoot a second term, issuing a rebuke to a leader who made history as head of the nation’s third-largest city.

Vallas, a former schools CEO backed by the police union, and Johnson, a Cook County commissioner endorsed by the Chicago Teachers Union, advanced to the April 4 runoff after none of the nine candidates was able to secure over 50% of the vote to win outright.

Lightfoot, the first Black woman and first openly gay person to lead the city, won her first term in 2019 after promising to end decades of corruption and backroom dealing at City Hall. But opponents blamed Lightfoot for an increase in crime and criticized her as being a divisive, overly contentious leader.

Good riddance.

In depth report and unpixelized video at at Gateway Pundit;

A Forensics Video Analyst from “The People’s January 6th Commission” methodically put together video evidence that Morris is allegedly the officer seen beating Boyland a number of times to the body and the head with a stick. Interestingly, the original body-cam footage he found of Boyland being beaten was hidden in plain sight. The Department of Justice & FBI gave this body-cam video to mainstream media who continued to use it to paint their narrative. MSNBC and CNN had both played the footage repeatedly to illustrate Capitol violence and paint the picture of an “insurrection.” This is a glaring example of how negligent and irresponsible some mainstream media are to miss something like this in the videos they play for the American People and around the world.

Racist Metal Detectors

CTV- Millennium Library not scheduled to reopen next week, no timetable set

The library has been closed since Dec. 11 following the stabbing death of 28-year-old Tyree Cayer inside the building.

Four teens between the ages of 14 and 16 have been charged in connection to his death – three are facing a manslaughter charge, while the fourth has been charged with second-degree murder.

Metal detectors used to be installed and bag searches started in 2019 after police warned about weapons in and around the library.

But following backlash from community advocates, the scanners were removed.

Maybe you should put them back in?

Following the homicide, Millennium for All – one of the community advocates that raised concerns about the metal detectors – tweeted, “We remain committed to evidence-based strategies for safety that are rooted in inclusion, anti-racism, and harm reduction, and we encourage council to fund them.”

Not mentioned in the story is that cops now have a whole floor of the parkade to themselves – “Winnipeg city council has approved a plan to give police officers exclusive secure access to the Millennium Library parkade.”

O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas

Hear my prayer.

What happens when you prioritize letting criminals out of jail and mix that with extreme support for sanctuary city policies?

You end up with Los Angeles, which now plans to let criminals off the hook if they also happen to be in the country illegally.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has instructed prosecutors to now consider immigration status when it comes to charging criminals with crimes. According to the policy, “All charging determinations shall be undertaken with the goal of avoiding or mitigating the adverse immigration consequences of a decision.”

The policy even encourages people under criminal investigation to contact Gascon’s office and “present information concerning adverse immigration consequences” before charges are handed down so he can give them a slap on the wrist instead.

Say what you want about Democrats, they know how to take care of their voters.

Poetic Justice

The Simulation does have a mean streak.

A criminal justice reform advocate who helped pass sweeping changes to the criminal code including reducing sentences for those convicted of crimes in Washington, D.C., was shot and killed in the city last Tuesday, just hours before the city council passed the bill. 

Kelvin Blowe, 32, worked as a policy and advocacy associate at DC Justice Lab and testified before the DC city council about reforming the city’s justice system. 

Around 5:25 a.m. on Nov. 15, he was on the way home from his job as a security guard when he was shot and killed in the southeastern part of the city. 

“It’s kind of hard to put into words what it feels like to see his work come to fruition without being able to share in that celebration with him,” Patrice Sulton, Executive Director DC Justice Lab, told Fox 5 DC. “In some ways the timing of it is an added injury on top of the loss. And I think we lost a really powerful voice in a really important movement and that’s not something that we’ll be able to replace.”

The city council passed the criminal justice overhaul hours after his death. If it is signed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, then it will get rid of most mandatory minimum sentences, expand who is eligible for jury trials, and reduce maximum penalties for burglaries, carjackings and robberies, according to the Washington Post

The Derek Chauvin Appeal

Scott Johnson;

Derek Chauvin could not afford an attorney to appeal his convictions in the case of George Floyd. Chauvin’s insurance did not extend to appeals and the Minnesota Supreme Court denied him a public defender. Although I thought Chauvin could not have received a fair trial in Hennepin County, it looked like he wouldn’t be able to raise the issue on appeal either. […]

Virtually every time I wrote about the trial on Power Line I noted the riots that preceded it, the riots that occurred during it, and the concrete and barbed-wire construction around the courthouse that gave visible form to the lynch-mob atmosphere of the proceedings. National Guard troops were stationed outside the courthouse along with two armored personnel carriers.

Security concerns were such that the jurors assembled at an undisclosed location each morning during the trial and were driven to and from the courthouse by Hennepin County Sheriff’s officers in unmarked vans. The Star Tribune reported: “The unprecedented effort aimed at protecting jurors from danger and outside influence cost $21,905 in van rentals.”

One more thing. Governor Walz began deploying National Guard troops around Minneapolis and St. Paul as early as Wednesday, April 14, 2021-before jury sequestration-in the event riots occurred “post verdict,” as Bill puts it at page 29 of Appellant’s Brief. “Post verdict” should be translated as “in the unlikely event of a not guilty verdict.” Everyone in his right mind understood the secondary effects of a not guilty verdict.

He has an appeal lawyer now, and legal defense fund at a Give Send Go, for however long that lasts.

Contextual murder

Ritual mass murder ought to warrant a critical response, but today’s academics just can’t seem to resist stretching the concept of context to the breaking point. If your culture is far enough removed from Western civilization, any heinous act appears to be beyond criticism.

And, as subsequent discoveries proved, the 500-year-old Inca girl and two other children were plied with drugs and alcohol before they were killed — which can either be viewed as abusive or merciful, depending on your point of view.

Charles Stanish, of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), has a different theory of why the Llullaillaco Maiden didn’t look pained: because the drugs and alcohol numbed her to her fate. “Some would say that within this cultural context, this was a humane action,” he said.
