Violence continues at a very high level in Chicago. Over the first full weekend in August thirteen people were killed and at least 73 others were wounded.
One of the slain was Chicago police officer Ella Frech, she was shot to death during a traffic stop in West Englewood. Her partner, also shot, is in critical condition.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot managed to mention "gangs" as a problem during a press conference yesterday. But on Twitter she issued an insensitive Tweet about the police and guns, which in Lightfoot's left-wing world firearms, not the people who fire them, are responsible for the mayhem in Chicago.
"Some say we don't do enough for the police. Others say we do too much. All of this must stop. We have a common enemy: it's guns & the violence they bring," was the Tweet.
Other problems Chicagoans face are a catch-and-release system operated by so-called prosecutor Kim Foxx and the criminal-friendly court system.Some say we don't do enough for the police. Others say we do too much. All of this must stop.
