Chicago’s grim crime-ridden year continued its familiar path over the Christmas weekend and into Monday, with three people fatally shot and 22 injured in a city run by woke Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Murders are at a 25-year high, with 793 recorded so far in a city with 2.7 million people. By comparison, New York City, which has a population of more than eight million, has had 479 murders to date.
On Christmas Day, 24-year-old Giovanni Lozano was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head in Logan Square on the Northwest Side at 10:40pm.
On December 26, Clifford Jeffrey, 37, was shot and killed at 3:20pm in East Garfield Park. And Monday, a 30-year-old man was fatally shot as he walked on the sidewalk in Little Village on the Southwest Side. His name has not yet been released.
Lightfoot has not commented on the Windy City’s carnage, instead posting a video wishing residents a happy Kwanzaa – the African American and Pan-African holiday created in 1966, and celebrated from December 26 until January 2.
‘Joyous Kwanzaa, Chicago,’ said Lightfoot, sitting beside her wife Amy Eshleman.
‘Amy and I wish to extend a very beautiful and prosperous Kwanzaa to all of you celebrating this season.’
Eshleman added: ‘As you light the candles and gather in unity, we hope your holiday is filled with rejoicing and happiness.’
Come on folks, they’re a lovely couple and a real loss to straight men everywhere !!!
Happy Kwanzaa to the site’s own mystic and yogi….
(Pass the brandy from the left hand side….)
Mayor Lightfoot looks like she starred in Beatlejuice.
The familiar enumerations of Lurian qabbalism encrypted here, should not escape our attention. Three and twenty-two; the bonesman’s signature. An eleven year old boy; a festival begun in ’66. Multiples of three and eleven: the characteristic hocus pocus, favoured by Sanhedrin magi. Beware. This news-story is a cornucopia of ulterior purposed and fruity devices.
Well said!
No great loss since most if not all are murderous rape apes. So, in the spirit of things:. Hey, Santa, pass us that bottle, will you?
In the photo Lightfoot looks like it has just dawned on her what a joke she has become, but I do not suppose she has.
