In a city with a far-left mayor under Democratic control since 1931, and a state dominated by radical progressives, criminals are emboldened to live out scenes from the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ video game. The defund the police movement, championed by Marxist Democrats, continues to wreak havoc on the streets of Chicago, leading to unbearable lawlessness and crime. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s chaotic metro area is a prime example of this, with recent incidents showcasing the dire situation that could potentially spread to other towns.
A recent incident involved a giant mob of people participating in a train heist on Chicago’s West Side, looting a freight train full of flat-screen TVs and kitchen appliances. Local media reports shed light on the shocking event, depicting individuals looting the train and loading stolen items into vehicles before fleeing the scene.
Footage from the incident showed people brazenly stealing from the freight train in broad daylight, with police responding to the theft in progress and making arrests. Union Pacific, the train company, emphasized the dangers of rail burglaries, highlighting the safety threats posed to the public, employees, and law enforcement officers.
The incident raises questions about the deteriorating law and order situation in Chicago and calls for a restoration of America’s status as a ‘First World’ country with respect for the police and upholding of law and order. Many believe that the current state of affairs, characterized by rampant crime and lawlessness, is a deliberate outcome of Democratic policies.
