“60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. Keep our name out of your mouth.” – Lori Lightfoot, Chicago Mayor and national disgrace
This was said in response to Ted Cruz describing the failure of gun control in Chicago. This ignores the continuous and persistent refusal of the local prosecutors to attach serious penalties to gun crime, in some case not even requiring bail. This ignores the inability of the CPD to stop illegal guns from being smuggled into the city. It ignores the massive disparity in gun crime between the other states and Chicago
It says something about Chicago that she was the better choice in the runoff election. Her opponent pushed a massively unpopular soda tax that actually got repealed. For a while, I was smuggling soda in from outside of the county to avoid the tax. It actually got repealed, amazingly enough.
Wonder why they can get away with this? Here is a constituent of hers, on Twitter:
“White supremacists on their way to Chicago for #LaborDayWeekend to carry out a series of covert shootings, that will mysteriously go unsolved, yet ultimately be blamed on “Black culture” when the reports come out Monday that “80 people in Chicago were shot this weekend…” – Tariq Nasheed
I’ve encountered more than a handful of people vocally proclaiming this kind of insane conspiracy. It’s not their fault, it’s not anyone’s fault, it’s the Man keeping them down and shooting people. Therefore, they have no need to actually doing anything about it that might help. When they complain about us offering thoughts and prayers as opposed to immediately doing what they want, they are projecting this mindset onto us.
