Will Bidet be visiting Chicago now as well?

He visits Chicago only for Dem fundraisers, apparently, not to decry black-on-black gun violence or console the families of the victims.

Commentary: Biden’s trip to Chicago highlights the deeper problems in Democratic leadership

In Joe Biden’s America, life is not easy. For those of us who call Illinois our home, it’s not hard to see how Democrat policies have negatively affected our lives — even more so than our families who live in neighboring states.

I’m a longtime Illinois resident, and it is difficult to watch Biden come to Chicago to co-host a $365,000-a-plate Democratic National Committee dinner with Gov. J.B. Pritzker and listen to him mislead my neighbors on issues from Ukraine to inflation to gas prices and supply chain shortages and not come away disillusioned and bitter. ...

Furthermore, rising crime shows no sign of slowing down. On Monday mornings, families across Chicago pick up the newspaper and turn on the television to see that as many as 30 people were shot over the weekend. Parents used to worry about the safety of their children doing homework in their rooms and playing on the streets thanks to gun violence; now a surge in carjackings has called into question the safety people feel in their cars. A recent study from the University of Chicago suggests the rise in carjacking-related crimes is the result of “economic motivations.” The total veracity of those claims remains to be seen, but it is hard not to look at the current political climate — one that encourages economic downturn and soft-on-crime policies — and not think Biden, Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s actions are to blame. ...

The Dickens you say, you mean the shooter was a White Supremacist?

This will go nowhere because in Chitcago it's a "dog bites man" story.

Getting an early start for the weekend?

The mass shootings are getting a lot of press, just in time for more gun control measures to hit the hopper.
If I didn't know better, I might think this stuff was coordinated.

What's the body count in Chicago, a Democrat city in a Democrat state, so far this year?

How is this even possible? Aren't everybody but cops and politicians bodyguards barred from possessing guns in Chicago?

Personally,I don't think they are taking the gun control seriously enough in Chicago. They should demand the cops leave their guns locked up at the police station when they are not on duty,like their idols used to do in Soviet Russia.
