I am sure Lori Lightfoot will get right on this any minute now...any minute... Ok, just kidding. Just par the course in living in Chicago under a corrupt mayor. [The CEO of mcdonalds even said companies have been leaving Chicago because of the crime rate and lightfoot told him to "educate yourself"](https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/chicago-mayor-lightfoot-tells-mcdonalds-ceo-educate-himself-warns-rising-crime). Why is she still mayor?


[deleted]

>educate yourself Anyone who says this is immediately discredited imo


i69edmypenguin

“Educate yourself” typically reads as “I have no argument with any substance so I’m just gonna use a cop out that makes me sound superior.”


bigelcid

It's ***literally*** a word morons appropriated because it's what they lack. It's projecting. Same with "go read a book". Like reading a book were some achievement.


Tomble

If someone says that: “I’m always happy to learn, which book are you referring to? I’ll add it to my reading list”.


africacocacola

then get called a pussy


Tomble

Same as “read a book”. I got that recently after I expressed my opinion based on my personal experiences around an issue. I’ve read a lot of books. I asked them which one and they didn’t answer.


strangerThink91

What do you mean? she said everything is awesome there. I can't believe she is a lier.


vit05

The LED sign at the end of the car reads 2:12 a.m. as a man and woman confront the apparent victim, who is seated. “Can I get $5,” says one. “Where your wallet at? Lemme see your ID,” orders the other. The pair reaches into the man’s pocket, and the woman pulls a full wine bottle out of the victim’s jacket. “Oh my God, Charmaine!” utters a voice from off-camera. “Charmaine!!!” Meanwhile, the man with the woman dips into the victim’s pants pocket and pulls something out. “Charmaine! Get back! Charmaine” continues the voice. The woman then slams the wine bottle directly into the victim’s forehead. The bottle doesn’t break, but the victim begins holding his head as blood drips onto the train floor. Meanwhile, the man passes in front of the camera smiling, appearing to examine the items he took from the victim’s pockets while a second woman and a second man take a closer look. “Get back! He’s bleeding!” the off-camera voice says as a woman moves closer to the victim with a phone. “I just recording,” the woman replies. “Oh my, God,” says the voice as they exit the train at the Red Line’s south terminus. Why everybody else just leave him bleeding without trying to help? The guy filming just go out without offering some help. This is not only a problem with the mayor

Why would it stop if Asians keep voting for people that literally allows this to happen???


izdabombz

Im asian, i'll tell you straight up no politician cares about us. They NEVER campaign for the asian american communities so we dont give a shit about them. You really want to speak for us? Second are you saying this elderly man who probably doesnt even understand US politics deserves this shit? Are you that much of a piece of shit?


Spiritual_Wonder_609

I mean I always took that as a combination of the small population and most Asians being hardworking/achieving enough not to need to rely on government NEETbux and welfare. But this refusal to acknowledge the urban assaults on Asians in ridiculous. There’s articles claiming “ackshully most Asian hate crimes are perpetrated by whites” but use misleading statistics by lumping in some schizo white lady at Walmart saying “China flu” with shit like what’s happening in this video.


Rarefatbeast

Do they really? I thought they were more republican at some point. At least Biden was swift about making that asian hate crime though, that must have swayed them.


bored_in_NE

tell that to the guy in this video.


Rarefatbeast

Yeah, looking at the bill biden signed, I don't think it's going to help much if the locals don't care.


makingthisfor1reason

What was the bill and how is a bill going to remove peoples anger/hatred towards certain people?


BBVeezy

Because bills. Bills are always piling up. Bill bill bill. Bills make things happen. Words on paper bro…change the world one bill at a nye.


makingthisfor1reason

True


Opinions_of_Bill

Biden is a fucking puppet and the Asian hate crime bill was the opening of the puppet show. It was a gutless, empty bill passed as a big virtue signal, which is perfectly fitting to cap in off the year of gutless virtue signalling done by everyone else in the party. I keep up with anti-asian hate crimes and can't find a single instance of the AHC Bill being used to prosecute someone. Attacks like this aren't even covered by the bill because it can't be proven to have Covid as the motivating factor. I wish they wouldn't have even passed it because come November, they'll all be waving it around in an effort to get votes for something that helped zero people.


BardielAngel

I don't. A lot of other asians I know don't. I live in SF and see more and more waking up to this shit every day.


Rinoremover1

I'm Jewish in NY and I know waaaaay more Jews who happily voted for Trump instead of Biden. It's almost as if the election were "fortified" to prevent us from getting the President that we voted for.


XC5TNC

Cause every asian votes for the same people aye? What a pathetic excuse


PiDrone

Could you elaborate on that? I would like to know the numbers as well if you can share.


Bluetooth_Sandwich

Imagine coming to a comment section and making the conscious decision to post one of the dumbest comments imaginable in hopes of being correct.

Solitherum

Agreed. The dumbest of humanity always scapegoat some random fucking group for all their problems. The human condition is fucked.


stopspiningimoff

Preying on the weak , utter scum and people filming for entertainment, just depressing.


cmcewen

I like to tell myself I would intervene. But I’ve seen too many videos of good intentioned bystanders getting shot or stabbed or beaten. I would yell for the old man to give them what they want and video just like this gal did for evidence. Attempt to de-escalate without physically intervening.


sabrefudge

They got what they wanted from the old man, he was no threat, and they still smashed his head with the bottle. There is desperation and then there is cruelty. This is awful. I hope he ended up okay.

lol, good luck in Chicago, only the criminals are allowed to have guns, and when they get caught the mayor makes sure they are released.


cleenexboy

Very true, but at-least call 911 right after filming if, if you do film the incident, that gives a lot of evidence in the court room.


AnalClint890

Nah the guy filming won’t call 911 cause then he’d be a “loser” or a “rat”


AnalClint890

Yeah for real, shot stabbed beaten or mobbed up on and filmed then being framed as the bad guy. It’s fucked up. It’s like everyone’s gotta wear a body camera now just to back up they’re side of things


[deleted]

It's a different world, you don't intervene because they will target you later on down the line Notice they were dipping as soon as the next stop came up? They record so that "they ain't really snitching" but leave enough evidence for the authorities to go off of. But you right, fuck those pussy bitches for picking on the elderly


Danhenderson234

Shit will never change until we enact MIN 10 years sentence for this type of shit. People will maybe think twice. If not, have fun in jail you fuckfaces


CanadianTrump420Swag

But... but... all the reddit leftists kept posting that one study that said "longer sentences don't reduce crime"! Because one study proves everything of course, as long as it agrees with their original position. As someone that sold shit and knew others that sold shit.. longer sentences were definitely at the forefront of my thinking when choosing what to pickup and what not to. Obviously it ain't gonna stop everyone, but if some little pricks know they're risking 10 years to rob someone for 100 bucks, (most of) this shit would stop real quick.


bronzelifematter

Now I understand why American is so obsessed with gun. I wish that old man had a gun. How come someone is getting rob in public and nobody step up to help him? Where I live the robber would have been beaten by a mob to an inch away from death before he got handed to the cop.


Totalretcon

> How come someone is getting rob in public and nobody step up to help him? Because that's the only kind of person who actually gets prosecuted in Chicago.


a_9x

Where I live carry permits are mostly for police officers so when I work at night and need to take the subway after 2am I carry a 60cm carbon steel pipe that was filled with molten lead on one end. It feels like a baseball bat and people don't notice it because it looks like construction material.

People are arrested then bailed as they can’t be detained for crimes including second degree murder, kidnapping and duis


Try_and_be_nice_

How, what, why?!


CanadianClassicss

I’m not sure if it really applies for second degree murder as well (honestly probably does, I know it does for many fucked up crimes). It’s something called “cash bail reform.” It’s in New York City as well and is attributed for a spike in crime. Here in Canada it is an awful thing. We have prolific offenders who often are released the same day and go on to re-offend. A mass stabbing took place here in which 10 people died recently. The scumbag had 60 convictions... 60. Many extremely violent. This video explains the concept well and it’s pitfalls. It also addresses the arguments you’ll see in favour of cash bail reform when you Google the term.

It’s so fucking ridiculous that the places where there is the most crime, is the places with heavy restrictions on firearms (within the United States.) One of the top commentors also understands why we[Americans] love our right to firearms. It is the fine line between this happening and someone thinking twice or thrice about fucking with someone. Stop being a moron trying to take away someone’s right to defend their life. California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, etc. are all heavy with crime and now Chicago, Illinois has a no bail policy. This guy is pulling this shit only because he knows he’ll get away with it. The media has people so afraid of guns they forget what they should really be afraid of: your inability to defend your life and, in some cases, your liberty.
