If it wasn't for double standards....

[Mycroft]

So since you think nothing will really fix this "crime" problem in Chicago -- the whole "what about Chicago" deflection isn't really about solutions; it just something right-wingers just reflexively say whenever their bullshit is challenged on other subjects??

I didn't present any "what about Chicago" deflection. I made a statement about Chicago in response to another member who made a statement referring to Chicago.

Again, prior to the attack Highland Park hadn’t had a murder for over a DECADE. It’s simply not an area where violent crime happens all that often.

Trying to equate to Chicago proper is flat out ignorant.....as has been repeatedly explained to you..

I get that but I'd never heard of the place and thought it was just a chicago subrurb.. which it is.

Agreed that some of those are definitely RED states and areas

But Baltimore and Detroit are about as Democratic as it gets, and Cleveland isnt far behind

Milwaukee is purple
St Louis is prob purple also
Kansas City would also go purple for city management

It may be possible that there is no strong correlation to a particular party then.

I never heard anyone whine about Chicago until Barack Obama was elected.

Bonus points if you can tell me where Obama came from.

While we are on the subject...

Are there any booming Conservative metropolises from which we can see a shining example of how a city of millions is supposed to look

Lori Lightfoot says that increased shootings at uniformed officers in Chicago are due to people "losing respect for the institutions of our democracy" and "the toxicity in our public discourse."

Oh is that right, Madame mayor.
h, well, if it's non-toxic public discourse Mayor Lightfoot wants to encourage, she should probably start with herself if she doesn't want to deepen her reputation as a hackish partisan hypocrite. It was just last week, after all, that she shouted "f**k Clarence Thomas" during her remarks at Chicago pride. Definitely a not at all toxic thing to do.

Lest you think her profane declaration was merely an emotional off-the-cuff reaction to what someone in the crowd said, here's Lightfoot doubling down on her statement to f**k a Supreme Court justice:

I said what I said.

Speaking as the Mayor of Chicago, Lightfoot’s comment regarding Thomas was inappropriate.

Speaking as a private person, her comment was entirely appropriate.

Liberals really seem to ignore Chicago.

(And depressingly so, that includes the liberals running Chicago.)

Especially when Chicago Liberals get indicted for things like tax fraud, embezzlement or wire/bank fraud

Lori Lightheaded is the female version of Rahm Emanuel. In other words, an idiot.
