Promoting Lawlessness in Chicago
23rd April 2023
“As long as there exist stupid people supporting stupid governments in their countries, people living in those countries will continue fluttering badly in the cesspool created by this utter foolishness!”—Turkish playwright Mehmet Murat ildan
That didn’t take long. The mayor-elect of Chicago, Democrat Brandon Johnson, responded to a group of teenagers who attacked cars and assaulted drivers in the Loop last weekend by what sounds like justification for their behavior.
While saying he does not “condone the destructive activity” (there’s a euphemism) and that it “has no place in Chicago” (when it increasingly does), Johnson added that “it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.”
The second part of his statement nullifies the first.
Time to leave.
