Chicago Alderman Who Fought For Fewer Cops Now Begging Bad Guys To Stop Shooting Up His Neighborhood
By John Boch -November 18, 202248

 
Chicago has a selection of radical crackpots on their city council. In the 25th Ward, Byron Sigcho Lopez claims to “fight for the working people.” He does this by lobbying for defunding the police and calling for fewer cops on the streets of his ward. While other council members want more beat cops, Sigcho Lopez, as recently as a month ago, repeated his disinvitation for fewer police in his ward.

Now, not even thirty days later, crime has spiraled. With the increase in crime comes depressed the real estate values. Despite angry homeowners harassing him about his kooky, Skittle-farting unicorn politics, the Democratic Socialist stalwart still isn’t asking for more cops. That, after all, would mean more oppressed poor people and minorities in the criminal justice system.

Instead, he’s calling upon local bad guys in his little slice of paradise to quit shooting one another. At least for a couple of days.

Beggin’ Byron didn’t say how many victims of violence constitutes an “acceptable.” All he knows is that there are too many right now.
