Wilding is back and bigger than ever! Video: @Williamjkelly.
Interesting how Kim Foxx is reversing her office's policy on the non-prosecution of "peaceful protesters" for the DNC. Perhaps the comically incompetent Foxx has finally realized prosecuting is actually a deterrent to protests getting out of hand. chicagotribune.com/2024/04/26/edi…

If you are a member of the CTU and you are not publicly demanding the CORE crime syndicate release Audit Reports, you should be thrown out of the union.

For any 1st Ward resident living near Campbell and Le Moyne, Four-Corner Hustlers gang members have moved into your ward. They carry guns and sling dope. If you are concerned with gangs in your ward, you can reach your alderman, @DanielLaSpata, at 872-206-2685. Ask for Dan.
Evidently, 96 is an insufficient number (it's also wrong, but this wouldn't stop Chicago media) so now it's POs "fired their guns nearly 100 times." Give it another week and media will begin reporting CPD fired 1,800 times and deployed a 40mm grenade launcher and nerve gas.

Warner Todd Huston takes a look at black Chicagoans' response to Mayor Johnson's botched handling of the crisis of illegals. Will the issue urge some blacks to shift over to the GOP? chicagocontrarian.com/blog/black-tru…

West Garfield Park. An area resembling a third-world country, in an attempt at mordant humor, a man places what appears to be a M-80 under a helpless addict who is nodding off after shooting heroin. Brandon Johnson's "Soul of Chicago" is found at Madison and Kostner.

With rent increases likely coming to O-Block, perhaps Chicago's "great humanitarian" alderman, @CDRosa and @Andrefor40th will welcome O-Block residents in need of affordable housing. Both should have plenty of room because neither alderman shelter illegals in their ward.

The Foundation is horrified by the news of the off-duty @Chicago_Police Department Officer who was shot and killed earlier this morning in Gage Park. Our deepest condolences to his family and his brothers and sisters of the CPD.
And CTA wonders why ridership has plummeted.
Only two weeks ago, @ChicagosMayor held a press conference at which he solemnly addressed an armed thug who was fatally shot after opening fire on CPD. This morning, however, the mayor preferred issuing a cursory statement and left Supt. Larry Snelling to fend for himself when…
