out-of-work parents and convicted felons. But none have obvious ties to Englewood

from @MidnoirCowboy, the undisputed king of bond court coverage: Despite the looting's alleged link to Englewood shooting, none of the defendants in court charged with looting cases have Englewood addresses, and the shooting was never mentioned in court https://t.co/KN6EuL1EsT

A cry of despair from Chicago. This person is real - she’s shown me her driver’s license. She has preexisting trauma, which is playing a role, but until March she was working and living her life.

Not anymore.

And yes, we talked about making this public. She wants you to know. pic.twitter.com/LK0Ec6TIRG

More from Chicago. What I hadn’t understood is the raw fear in the city right now, the feeling violence can strike anywhere, any time. A city can thrive even with high crime (NYC, 1980s), if lawabiding, taxpaying homeowners and the central business district feel decently safe... pic.twitter.com/CFCn5pN6To

From Chicago. “I’m scared. I’m disgusted. I’m sad.” In a follow-up note she said she plans to leave within a year. pic.twitter.com/3kjfpCFWyD

Liberals mugged by reality? Or we're being mugged both ends of the stick? Is there a 3rd choice out there? The "i'm tired of playing, can i just go home now?" choice?

Who’s to blame for clashes at protests yesterday? Activists blame cops, cops blame activists. One of the people who wants apology from city is Berto Aguayo, who worked on Latino outreach for Mayor Lightfoot’s campaign. He says cops attacked protestershttps://t.co/MznXuUDpTj

I just don't see pulling umbrellas away as rioting, sorry. It could be the wrong thing to do, but it's not rioting:

This is a public school teacher. The tweet quote is of a freelance journalist:

I need all the national media outlets to stop giving space to Mayor Lightfoot on their shows. She’s not progressive. She’s not helping communities or coming up with new ideas to reduce inequity. She’s created a police state in Chicago. @MSNBC @CNN this is her vision for Chicago. https://t.co/rw5XMLm7C3

This is an extraordinarily difficult, and important, piece of journalism.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’

(Always understood that to be a right we all have, but not all of us employ a 13k member police force.)#chicago, anyway https://t.co/ZpZOKUFLZD

No gun, just deadly violence, young black male allegedly stabbing black homeless people in Grant Park and on the trains, starting around the same time protesters were busy trying to pull down "colonialist" statues and stuff.

A serial attacker who has fatally stabbed one sleeping homeless man and critically wounded another in Grant Park this summer has committed two similar assaults aboard the CTA Red Line, police said, most recently on Tuesday morning.https://t.co/OQGjWrr6tQ

It's got to be the fault of the pigs somehow, must need more social workers....or should we go with a far more libertarian solution, just let all the bad seed trouble kill each other?

So ironic, you can if you like blame it on the Columbus statue being close by, maybe anger about the statue made the perp kill this guy,

Both victims from the Red Line attacks survived. But the first known victim, 53-year-old Aaron Curry, did not.

Aaron Curry

Police found Curry fatally stabbed at 1125 South Michigan in Grant Park after a passer-by noticed he had not moved from the same spot for several days around 8 a.m. on July 9.

until it was removed by the mayor July 23 because the police had to spend too much time on protests about it.

Or maybe the perp is really Italian, just dressing like a protester and riding a bike like one to fool everybody

Chicago police are looking for this man in connection with two stabbings of homeless men in Grant Park during July. | CPD
