mayor lightfoot pleads for federal help after refusing it from trump

now this comes from fox network. but i think it has quite alot of proof on lightfoot. refusing help from trump, saying her idea's to control crime will work, when they clearly didn't. now pleading for help from the feds when she is in this crime wave way over her head.
link i hope that works right. what do you all think. am i right or wrong? just interested in reading your idea's. thanks

 

If I recall correctly, Trump's "offer of help" was more an ultimatum the feds would take over if Chicago didn't get crime under control.

 

One only has to look at many Democratic cities to show they haven't the slightest idea of how to run a city. When you have people like Pelosi sticking up for MS-13, who the FBI considers the worse gang in the country, how can we expect anything better from their Mayors and Governors?

 

just asking, and what was wrong with what you call a 'ultimatum" from trump? lightfoot was not fighting the crime wave, and it only got worse over time. so trump was proved right, wasn't he? no offence ment. just asking. thanks.

 

Sadly, liberals have confused what causes crime: they think police brutality causes people to lash out in the form of crime so if we can just hamstring the police through prosecution by mob rule when the camera isn’t good enough and defund them, the oppressed people will go back to being nice upstanding members of the community.

What they’ve colossally missed is that they have reality, once again, completely ass-backwards. The brutality of the criminal, much like the brutality of a war zone, will inevitably lead to greater brutality of all participants, the police included.

criminals come from bad parenting, bad nature and bad culture. No wonder the Democratic Party breeds criminals like rabbits and idolizes terrorists and imports gangs.

 

The statement I saw from her related to needing help with interstate gun trafficking. That is not within her job as Mayor to be able to control.

 

really? i thought she also had a police unit that did follow gangs in their drug and gun running operations. before cutting, defunding, shifting money from the p.d to other civic orgs. other mayors of chicago and other cities used those units very well to keep illegal gun running down very well. that is in her job description. isn't it? but, iirc she got rid of that unit. so imo her problem!!! what do you think?

 

Shouldn't the FEDS be going after inter state gun runners????

 

yes they already do. but--- you must remember that under biden --like on the border. biden is stopping federal law enforcement from enforcing the laws on the books already. gun running like drug running, under biden is way behind what it was in catching criminals and their illegal loads from when trump was in office. lightfoot has distroyed the p.d. intell gang units in chicago, and this is part of the reason why chicago is in a state of lawlessness. imo.

 

Typical politician. Every plan they impose that goes wrong is always someone else's fault. Some are worse than others. All politicians are brilliant, super intelligent, and perfect. If the voters could ever get to the politicians intelligence level the voters would understand how smart the politicians are. How else do we explain the election over and over of the likes of Pelosi and Lightfoot and Biden -- too many moron politicians to list here.

 

How many died because Lightfoot wouldn't accept Trump's help?

LIFE IN THE DEADLY BLUE ZONES: “At least a dozen cities have set homicide records this year. The scale of the killings is recapitulating the worst moments of the United States’ 20th-century urban crisis.”

Where the Left has complete control, our people live in violent hell holes while the corrupt politicians live in opulence on the public dole.

 

Soooo...Asking for the Mayor to take action and do the ****ing job she was elected to do instead of pleading for men to come in and do it for her is bad? How? Lol.

 

What is the backstory here? What did Trump offer and why did she refuse the help and what is she asking for now?

P.S. Ideas doesn't require an apostrophe.

 

But many of their big cities have money and they can afford to try these stupid ideas.

It's always been the trend for rich people to live in big cities, near all the excitement, because they have the money to be able to insulate themselves from most of the big city problems, live in the nicer safer parts of that city, and be able to enjoy the entertainment there (there's plenty of fun things to do in a big city but everything costs money, which can get expensive after a while).

The rich don't seem to care what is done with their tax money, since they have plenty of it, and the poor only pay a tiny percentage of the total taxes so they just want the city to spend as much as it can on anything; it's mostly not their money being spent. Just the way the cookie crumbles, I guess.

If you can find middle class people there, they probably work for the city, in some capacity.

 

Only trouble to go most places you have to drive through tent city on the sidewalks, past the trash pilled up in the yards. I saw a video of trash piled up on people's yards and alleys in Baltimore. One of the higher taxed states and neighborhoods were a mess with trash. I live in Arizona and my city would never let that happen. If trash builds up, you only need two people to ask for a huge dumpster and the city will drop off three to a block, two for trash and one for leaves scattered out for people to throw all their trash, furniture, mattresses, etc. in. It's free. They have a place you can drop off hazardous stuff like chemicals, refrigerator, televisions. Also free. It is one of the cleanest cities I have lived in and taxes are reasonable. I can't believe these other cities can't do the same with their huge tax base.



Neighborhood Cleanup Program

 

It's not difficult to believe that. People show us who they are by their actions. One can only conclude those areas you're describing don't have people interested in resolving that issue, regardless of their tax base. They would find a way to get it done if it was important to them. Same goes for every other ill in societies.

 

Trump announced 100 federal agents with ho timeline and no specific tasks a month after Lightfoot became Mayor 6 months before Trump was ousted at the polls. That was so brave of Donald.

 

LOL. And now, years later, crime ISN'T under control and Lightfoot is begging for federal help.
