18 murders in 24 hours: Inside the most violent day in 60 years in Chicago

18 murders in 24 hours: Inside the most violent day in 60 years in Chicago

‘We’ve never seen anything like it at all,’ said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the University of Chicago Crime Lab.

Black Lives Matter....except when they don't.

"Triple Threat", (as she calls herself), is not bothered by that. Oh, BTW, Lightfoot had 300 CPD officers protecting her home last week, while the rest of the city was burning.

what is scarf and paint mean?

Kente cloth — woven with vibrant strips of silk and cotton — comes from Ghana, where people wear it to show patriotism or celebrate a special occasion. It is associated with royalty, pride and black identity.

Just a few observations but if the allegation is true why the hell did they have to handcuff him for aledged use of a fake bank note in the first place ? The other , more political is if the guy was put in a position to have to use a fake bank note is that more of a failing of the political system that did pretty much nothing for the American people during a pandemic where the economy was shut down thus leaving many with no money ?

So she had a taxpayer-funded battalion to defend her home while everyone else had to form their own neighborhood defense groups and she had the balls to condemn that while also stating to call the overstretched CPD.

Yeah, okay.

The inmates are running the asylum.

Some will argue that "paying with a fake bank note" is a crime.

Well, yes, it is indeed.

Now one has to ask: did he do it voluntarily? Or was it an accident?
In other words did he know the bank note was fake? I, for instance, wouldn't know if a bank note was fake or not. We won't have the answer to these questions though.

And ultimately getting killed by the police over an alleged fake bank note? That's a pretty harsh punishment.

Everything is cool at the Lightfoot residence.

It's literally a take it off them ( confiscate ) and maybe a 0/50/100$ on the spot fine depending on the defendants answers to early questioning . The amount of dodgy pounds coins I've fobbed off to unsuspecting vendors far outweighs the dodgy note of Floyd's ( though I received them in innocence ) . Why so strict ?

Poor Marxist playing ANTIFA. Mommy never warned you that people might get angry if you damage their property.

I'm not a fan of violence but... I smirked a bit.

Are you saying that he was forced to make counterfeit money because of the quarantine?

You want to get your ass kicked by the police boy?

I was kind of hoping it was like those Chinese character tattoos that people get. They think it says "Peace and Love" and what it really says is; "I'm a wanker".

What we know about George Floyd's death and alleged counterfeit money in Minneapolis

A $20 bill with ink reportedly running launched the arrest and death of George Floyd and subsequent protests and riots across the nation.

It really is the start of a Civil War.

At the same time, their pathetic city council wants to defund the police:

Seattle City Council considering defunding police department in response to protests

Some strong emotions over the response to demonstrators over the last 11 days and what saw they saw personally, is leading members of the Seattle City Council to consider changes.

The council controls the city's purse strings, and announced Monday an inquest into the Seattle Police Department's $409 million budget -- the first step to defunding because of scenes we saw early Monday morning.

Well, that escalated quickly. On the bright side, I'm using this as an excuse to get a new Galil ACE in 7.62x51. 10 25 round mags came yesterday. Not that I need an excuse but it helps me sleep at night.

Buy it maybe . I don't know . I'm just saying was the kid short of money due to COVID and bought fake bank notes ? Not unusual for folk to buy fake bank notes in the UK , especially pre plastic (probably harder now) . The crime is the equivalent to a parking ticket over the pond . I just don't get the over reaction to the initial crime and getting back to the politics yes , in times of hardship which could have been avoided you will see an increase in fake currency .

 

[HisRoyalHighness]

Remember when the Libyan or Syrian war kicked off, we would post these maps showing where government forces lost control to rebels?

Didn't think we would do the same here.

What I find amusing is, all these ANTIFA people who get their asses kicked by the regular people they attack, are literally in shock that someone would actually fight back. They didn't grow up on the same schoolyard I did. LOL!

You know, he has a lifetime of being "short of money" and using violent crime to get it, even pre-pandemic.
