What about the two teens that stole a car and killed a 6 month yr old baby boy...she charged them with TRESSPASSING!!!

Not much hope in whoever comes after her. The places of power are not often filled by more competent successors in Chicago.

What?
She had a lock on every criminal's vote in cook county.

I agree with Kim Fox no one in law enforcement should be able to invest in prison for profit .

Looking forward to seeing a future career on cable TV

Not one state’s attorney of Chicago has done everything right and no one will ever do everything right this is why I don’t support the paternal order period and never will ( Kim fox ) you did just as good as any other state’s attorney 💙❤️

Very powerful.
Mayor Lightfoot was an exact representation of a black woman in leadership.
Any woman in leadership, but especially a black woman in leadership has never been acceptable, and it's not likely that it ever will be acceptable either.
Being in leadership of the third largest city in the country, be it Mayor, as was Mayor Lightfoot, or be it the States Attorney as is Kim Fox presently, being a woman of color under such particular circumstances is far from an easy task as Mayor Lightfoot so eloquently pointed out being constantly judged and evaluated through a different set of standards.
The city's public safety for which the job is intended, I'm sure has always been her top priority, and not as others have stated otherwise.
To repeatedly have to listen, and to repeatedly have to talk about death and destruction constantly day after day, and then the racist criticism on top, is further testament to our strong black women.
Thanks for the effort nonetheless.
It's long been said that only God has the answer, and that only God can heal the world;
Not Kim Foxx or Mayor Lightfoot, nor can any other one particular individual but God 🙏
