    Crime rates vary over time but correlation does not equal causation.  Writer of article says it would not be wise to imply legalized marijuana increase crimes.  Other things may be affecting crime rates.  According to University of Texas, huffingtonpost and drug policy alliance, legalized marijuana has lead to lower crime rates.

    Chicago had 90 murders in August.  It is the most homicides in one month in 20 years for the city.  They have had more homicides this year than New York and Los Angeles combined.

    "Writer of article says it would not be wise to imply legalized marijuana increase crimes".

    Writer of article is spot on with only one qualification...

    The MAJOR crimes with the Drug Kings increase because the legalization reduces their profits and pizzes them off.  Prohibition created the monster Al Capone and End of Prohibition began his demise.

    Crime increases with unemployment. The amount of homeless in LA is astronomical and increases robbery and theft goes along with it. I am sure other cities are experiencing the same. Chicago is on another level though.

    Police are scaling back their interrogative methods.  Don't you remember O'trauma told our law enforcement to stop being so discriminatory to the black folks... We're being sooo discriminatory, (though they commit the majority of crimes).

    It's not that hard people.  Follow the grand plan of our anointed one to stop giving the black folks such a hard time. 

    Give the local  law enforcement the authority it deserves under a , . .. Problem goes away..   

    We don't need a president that meddles in state affairs.  Go F&CK off O'trauma.

    Hard to imagine someone this ignorant running a city as large as Chicago.  How they could elect someone even worse than Lightfoot is hard to understand.

    Instead of dealing with the crime and thefts by punishing the criminals, he decides to sue automakers for lack of anti-theft technology.

    Quotes on this:

    Typical Democrat blame the car, blame the gun, blame society, blame racism, blame everyone except the criminal actually committing the crime.  No one is willing to admit there is huge criminal element in the black community that is causing the crime problem in Democrat run cities.  For far too long this fact has been ignored and excused by society.

    "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." Ronald Reagan

     

    Remember when it was believed that no one could be worse or more dense than Lightfoot as Mayor of Chicago…….Mayor Johnson has quickly proven us wrong. He demonstrates a whole new level on incompetence and foolishness.

     

    "It's the fact that they are so easily taken by criminals who run rampant in the city of Chicago, but we have yet to hear our mayor say anything, one word, about the criminals running rampant in our streets," he continued. "And all he does in turn is lambast the media, lambast those who try to hold criminals accountable by playing word games."

     

    Firearm crimes are blamed on gun manufacturers, auto thefts are blamed on car manufacturers, drug dealing is blamed on society's injustices, individuals' lacking any qualifications for a job are blamed on lack of diversity, equity, inclusion. Nothing is ever the fault of an individual's actions.

     

    Another fine example of how progressive 'thinking' is truly regressive.

    Quotes on this:

    Typical Democrat blame the car, blame the gun, blame society, blame racism, blame everyone except the criminal actually committing the crime.  No one is willing to admit there is huge criminal element in the black community that is causing the crime problem in Democrat run cities.  For far too long this fact has been ignored and excused by society.

    "We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." Ronald Reagan

     

    Remember when it was believed that no one could be worse or more dense than Lightfoot as Mayor of Chicago…….Mayor Johnson has quickly proven us wrong. He demonstrates a whole new level on incompetence and foolishness.

    If any of you are hard up for $ and in Chicago, just walk into a Walgreens and grab anything you want. Literally anything. Meds, milk, detergent, beer, whatever you need, just take it and walk out the door.

    It's become such commonplace that people aren't disturbed by it anymore. 

    It's Walgreens policy to not follow or try to stop anyone shoplifting. Police don't get called anymore either.

    Have a nice day
