Three people shot to death and eighteen wounded in Chicago on Monday; Lightfoot exposed as unhinged

The weekend ended but the carnage continued in Chicago. Three people were shot to death yesterday, two on the South Side and one on the Southwest Side, and at least 18 others were wounded. 

Chicago's murder rate has skyrocketed since Lori Lightfoot became mayor two years ago.

Late last week, courtesty of a Freedom of Information request, we learned that the city's failed mayor, channeled Jack Nicholson in the movie The Shining by writing in an email, "I need office time every day!" sixteen successive times. Office time is Lightfoot's quiet time. "That’s typically a less structured part of the day when the mayor can think, write or make long-term plans," the Chicago Tribune's Gregory Pratt writes.

Lightfoot is clearly not able to handle the job as Chicago's mayor. At the very least she should announce that she will not run for a second term. Actually, an even better response would be to resign.
