August is almost over and Chicago has racked up 196 people shot over August. Anyone want to bet it’s going to go over 200 by Labor Day weekend?
For a point of comparison, 23 people were shot and 6 people were killed last weekend.
According to Gov. Pritzker though, it’s not an emergency and everything’s fine.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is doubling down on his message to President Donald Trump that the nation’s third-largest city doesn’t need or want military intervention to fight crime, showing off parts of the city where violent crime has decreased and saying sending in the National Guard could only escalate problems.
“We want to make sure and show off that there’s no emergency happening in Chicago,” the Democrat told The Associated Press
“We’ve been fighting crime. We’ve been trying to prevent crime and it’s been working.”
Chicago is up to 1,301 people shot so far in 2025 and 281 murders.
If that’s not an emergency, what is?

Maybe the sanctuary city should help enforce immigration laws. Chicago is another Dem-dominated fiscal nightmare. Maybe the money being spent on illegal aliens would be better spent enforcing all laws. Of course, enforcing the law will have a “disparate impact” on one group: criminals.
Breathe easy; don’t break the law.
Chicago is a mess, so is the state of Illinois, so is the rest of the United States. The politicians still live in a make believe world. It time to face reality. The United States is in a state of decline and there isn’t any possibility of that changing in the near future. . .
When has Pritzker walked the streets of Chicago without an “army”? How many more children and innocent people have to be murdered before it’s an “emergency”?? Would it be really that horrible just to take a few hundred hardened criminals off the streets?? WHY do DEMOcrats defend CRIMINALS so openly??
It just proves the point that as long as it’s black on black crime, democrats (black and white) don’t care and don’t see it as a problem. Moreover, democrats thing it’s “racist” to hold black to any standards of accountability, civility and behavioral norms.
Democrats prefer their constituents to be uneducated, uncivilized, angry, ignorant, incompetent and completely dependent upon them.
