Democrat Alderman Says ‘Innocent People are Being Hunted Like Prey in Chicago’
Chicago: Crime rates have soared under radical socialist Mayor Brandon Johnson, for example, in his first 30 days in office, crime rose 38% from the prior year. Chicago Democrat Alderman Raymond Lopez told Fox News, “Things like robbery, burglary, arson, assault, even threatening elected officials like myself, do not warrant you being held on bond anymore in the state of Illinois, and criminals are taking note.” Lopez said that the city’s failure to respond has left innocent people being “hunted down like prey.” He advocated for pushing back and to start “holding people and parents accountable, because oftentimes these are 12, 13, 14-year-olds who are engaging in this behavior, such as the armed carjacking that is so rampant in the city of Chicago.”
Lopez claimed that the extreme liberal agenda of police reform and criminal justice reform is “racist” because “oftentimes the victims of the most heinous crimes by the repeat offenders are those same Black and Brown residents that the White liberals claim to care about but truly don’t.”
