Chicago is at 338 murders so far this year and over 1,500 shot. Why? It’s a mystery.

Mayor Brandon Johnson recently claimed that “jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.” He praised Joanne Chesimard aka Assata Shakur, a racist terrorist who murdered a police officer and was linked to the attempted murder of others by the BLA terrorist group, as an “important person in the black liberation movement”.

This comes after the Chicago Teachers’ Union he emerged out of gushed that Chesimard/Shakur was a “revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of Black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle.”

This is who’s running Chicago and increasingly the Democratic Party. There’s no solution to crime that doesn’t begin with dealing with the cold hard fact that pro-crime politicians, especially leftists, see terrorism and murder as revolutionary acts that they should be encouraging, not suppressing.

That’s how you get a body count that looks like a war zone.
