Chicago

Many neighborhoods covered by Lightfoot's "Our City, Our Safety" alternative policing plan are now more dangerous than before.

"It’s time that the reign of criminals who are destroying our city . . . come to an end," San Francisco Mayor London Breed said while she announced new public safety measures.

Democratic mayors are raising eyebrows with their responses to the rising crime plaguing major cities like New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia.

The City of Chicago will continue pursuing its lawsuit against disgraced Empire actor, Jussie Smollett, for wasting $130k over Smollett’s hate hoax.

Only positive comments allowed on recently-convicted Jussie Smollett's Instagram page.

Over the past half-century or so, American law enforcement and popular culture have conferred an extra level of seriousness and gravity to “hate crimes” as opposed to regular crimes. The definition of a hate crime, according to the FBI, is a regular crime with an added element of bias. “A ‘criminal’ offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity,” the FBI.gov website states.

Jury convicts on five of six counts.

Right now, it seems likely that Jussie Smollett is not only going to be found guilty of staging a fake hate crime and lying about it to police, but also of perjury.

Jussie Smollett destroyed his career and reputation trying to live up to a racist expectation of “blackness.” It’s the same mistake former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick made.
