As a former Chicago resident for 55 years, and a guy with hundreds of friends still there I can tell you there is a case of heartache being spread everywhere. That downtown will turn into chaos and ALL (not "some" but ALL) my friends have said their days of trips downtown are OVER.
Bye bye Chi-town. It's OVER.

[SFRMC]

[jimmydriskell]

He didn't cause enough damage as a school teacher?

[LobsterPuppet]

Makes no sense.
Why does Chicago want mayors like that?

[coney]

Chicago crime out of control and the first thing he talks about is police reform🙄 and nothing about crime, criminals and his so-called justice system. Chicagoans, good luck, y’all are going to need it.

[stevereed]

Can you imagine how Cops feel now that any hint of hope is gone. The real problem is not Cops leaving but replacing Cops who are dumb enough to work under these conditions.

Why do Black males in chicago see Memorial Day as a time for violence? In fact, why dont poor Koreans, Hindus, or basically anyone else in the world make violence its way of life as illiterate and innumerate black males in black neighborhoods do, basing their whole lives on false notions of "respect." How is a brother every gonna work for a living out side of pimping, rapping, basketball, etc, when they feel "disrespected" at the drop of a hat. Even the Cambodians, Laos, and Viet who have gangs, its bad enough, but they do not destory their own neighborhoods, or randomly kill total strangers for sport.

How about the Teachers' Union STFU until Test Scores are up? Y'all are Good at Celebrating Failure though.
