Clown City Update 🤡
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxxxxxxxxxx is at it again. This time her office is (at the time of this post) gently slapping, more like nuzziling, two teens on the wrist for killing a 6mo old baby boy.
Two teenagers are only facing misdemeanor charges after the crash of a stolen car resulted in the death of a 6-month-old infant.
In an update Wednesday, Chicago police said two male juveniles, ages 17 and 14, each face one misdemeanor count of criminal trespassing, though charges could be upgraded pending the department’s investigation.
According to police, there were multiple hospitalizations in this crash — including a 6-month-old boy who died from his injuries. The medical examiner has identified the baby as Cristian Uvidia. (full story)
Fox 32 Chicago has the video of the crash itself. It’s a surprise more weren’t killed.
DON’T DEMONIZE TEEN DRIVERS!!
Truth to Power, or Something…
Where was this for the last four years? It must be ok to say something now…
Ousted Mayor Lori Lightfoot called on Democrat mayors to "speak the truth" on violent crime in their cities amid the crime spike in Chicago.
While speaking on a panel at the African American Mayors Association Conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Lightfoot called on Democrat mayors to address the growing crime in their cities.
"As Democrats, if we do not speak the truth about violent crime in our cities, we will be the worse for it," Lightfoot said. (full story)
Blah, blah, blah. The best part of the was the following snippet:
Lightfoot asked if "somebody musters the courage to come forward and identify the person who just shot up their neighborhood, and then sees Pookie walking bold as day back on the street two days later, what does that say to them?"
Pookie? Sounds kind of like an ist-a-phobic slur to us or is she talking about Chris Rock’s character from New Jack City? We’re confident that if Pookie in real life was as portrayed in the movie, he would have been dead decades ago.
DON’T DEMONIZE POOKIE!
Some Good News
With the CPD being all out of medals to give, it’s time for this jackass to move on.
As he once famously said, “we don’t have time for this shit”.
DO DEMONIZE CARTER!
New Carnival Poster!
We spent tens and tens of minutes last week pulling this one together and it shows! Let everyone know that demonization-free fun and enjoyment await downtown all summer long!
If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading. Our goal is to push out one long form post a week in addition to our regular stats focused posts. Thanks and remember “We don't want nobody nobody sent”.
Don't Demonize Weekend #16
Evidently Comrade Fox forgot the application of the felony murder statute. Or maybe she was too busy attending a "social justice" rally the day they taught actual law, in law school. Comrade Kim did attend law school, didn't she? No justice AND no peace if you're not on Comrade Kim's Most favored thugs list. You're just a victim who gets the bill for it all.
Carter being gone is a good thing. We learned from SCC that Carter is a "stolen valor" kind of guy with all the fake medals.
Of course Cabrini Kim isn't going to prosecute those poor little miscreants for killing a baby. She just considers it a very later term abortion.
