Pritzker-Johnson Peacekeeping Effort Fails Chicagoans

CHICAGO – Wirepoints Crime Tracker has been updated for the week of May 22-May 28. Over Memorial Day weekend alone, 12 people were killed and 48 wounded in Chicago. Overall, crime in the city is up 49% over the same 7 days in 2022 and up 34% over the same 28 days in 2022. Over the course of the week, Chicago also saw:

  • 17 Homicides, a 21% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and an 11% increase over the same 28 days in 2022
  • 47 Criminal Sexual Assaults, a 15% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 9% increase over the same 28 days in 2022
  • 225 Robberies, a 28% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 16% increase over the same 7 days in 2022
  • 144 reports of Aggravated Battery, a 25% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 4% increase over the same 28 days in 2022
  • 161 Burglaries, a 19% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 2% increase over the same 28 days in 2022
  • 417 reports of Theft, a 9% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 5% increase over the same 28 days in 2022 
  • 619 reports of Motor Vehicle Theft, a 167% increase over the same 7 days in 2022; and a 137% increase over the same 28 days in 2022 

Memorial Day weekend was an important test of Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial crime policies. The mayor even received support from like-minded Governor Pritzker, who decided to roll out the “yellow vest Peacekeepers” program to patrol the streets. The Peacekeepers would prove you didn’t need police to maintain security or law and order. You just needed cool heads and soft voices.

Despite the effort, it ended up being the deadliest Memorial Day weekend that Chicago has seen since 2016.

  3. Reparations?

    I would first want a full accounting of my tax records, of everything I’ve helped pay for from 1969 on, starting with LBJ’s Great Society and 55 years of every Democrat money grab scheme to-date.

    I will enclose my Bank Routing Numbers and look forward to receipt of the difference.
