During liberal Mayor Brandon Johnson’s first 100 days in office, there were increases in almost all major crimes in Chicago with total crime growing 38% over the same time last year.
When a group robbed a convenience store in the South Loop, Johnson referred to it as a teen “trend”—and not a “mob action” telling reporters it was inappropriate “to refer to children as, like, baby Al Capones.”
“Unfortunately, Johnson has refused to even try to tamp down on crime during his first 100 days. If anything, he’s doubled down on the city’s long-running soft-on-crime approach. He continues to reject calling out the city’s violence for what it is, downplaying mob actions and resorting to semantics. And he keeps talking and talking about ‘root causes,’ but refuses to stop what’s happening nightly on the city’s streets,” Wire Points said.
From The Gateway Pundit:
The 204 homicide total during Johnson’s first 100 days is 25 percent higher than it was under Lori Lightfoot’s first 100 days and 33 percent higher compared to Rahm Emanuel’s back in 2011.
