For several months now, the city of Chicago, a Democratic stronghold, has been fighting wave after wave for violence, murder, and theft as Mayor Lori Lightfoot appears perplexed on how to fix it. Siding with Black Lives Matter, like many Democrats, did, Lightfoot took a “defund the police” approach. She even proposed an $80 million cut from the police budget some time ago. Now, with the city in chaos, as you are about to see, criminals are running rampant with no one to stop them and no system to charge them. 

In the video below, criminals are seen casually robbing a retail store of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. And as you can clearly see, nobody is stopping them, and the criminals aren’t even scared as they know they are being filmed. While it might appear to be staged or something for a movie, this is just the reality of life in Chicago.
