I hope these criminals shoot each other and all the gang members. I woudln't even mind if they go rob Lightfoot's home.

People are getting killed at a fast rate but at least they can't complain their prisons are too full. Idiots is all I can say. I'm embarrassed we have such dem idiots running the country and states and cities.

She's playing the Race / Gender card, I know it, she knows it, and everyone else knows it too. It's a joke that the media doesn't push back on her more.

People are getting killed and that scumbag is playing politics.

This is despicable for her to do nothing. I don't know how black folk in Chicago tolerates this.
Tell us what the mayor should be doing that she is not? Be specific, please.

Be aware CPD cancelled all time off and mandated 12 hour shifts to maximize the number of patrols on the streets.

Be aware the shooters and victims tend to be known to each other.

Tell us what the mayor should be doing that she is not? Be specific, please.

Dems killing Dems means less Dems voting.

Sleepy Joe needs to amp up his voter importing machine along our Southern border to compensate.

Crime and fatherlessness reigns supreme in our community equally the same.

100 killed/injured in Chicago pale in comparison to the travesty provided by the hands of Europeans and European Americans...we're extremely dangerous to the planet.

Albeit-Neither should be marginalized.

When she outright says and admits she believes 99.9% of the criticism aimed at her is because she is a Black,Lesbian, Woman, it pretty much taints every motive she presents.

Move to a conceal carry environment. The gun control laws don't seem to prevent the bad people from getting guns.

Fix the education system so kids get a better education so they can have more constructive options when they get to working ages

Lower minimum wages so teens can go and learn to work

Meet with local artists to promote positive messaging in music instead of music destructive to cops, women, etc.

Get an effective strategy for drugs

Help the police do their job instead of defunding and dispiriting them. Get rid of the Stop Snitching program... reward community cooperation

THis is all good stuff.

I'd add for her to travel to various cities that have a much better handle on these types of issues and see what they do, no shame in copying other agencies or cities.

Solve a problem with creative approaches. Don't drop the racist or sexist label when people challenge you would be another tip for ol Lightfoot.

I'd even add an unpopular approach like outright denouncing Thug culture.
Go ham on it.

Stress Family. Stress two parent households, father's sticking around.
Baby-momma's should not be celebrated.

Stress education, parent involvement.

Things calm down, you can get Police on board, having police actually be From the neighborhood may help bridge things.

Basically all the stuff that would get you labeled an Uncle Tom, or Aunt Tom in this case?
Stuff that'll get you cancelled,..lol.
