Diversity Destroys Chicago By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Imagine if a gang of whites had surrounded a lone Black woman and bashing her? Horrible stuff. But, that and more, occurred in the diverse riots in Chicago, where a white woman was surrounded and bashed by Blacks. Of course, the race card was played by the usual players, but even some mainstream media outlets, such as Fox News were not buying it, and put it down to Democrat authorities, especially DAs, giving an essentially free ride to law breakers, with “go soft” policies. While all this goes under the radar as social justice and all that, but it is really no more than the erosion of the rule of law, and social capital on the road to the coming anarchy. And now it is the West’s turn.

“We watched a mob of teens riot through the streets of downtown Chicago over the weekend.
For three straight days, one of the safest places to visit in my hometown wasn’t.
Young people destroyed property, beat up other teens and even assaulted tourists.
First, teens wrecked a $120,000 Tesla, and police reported some were engaging in “reckless and disruptive behavior.”
The riot soon escalated, and, of course, gunfire erupted, striking two teen boys, who are in stable condition.
Fifteen people — nine adults and six juveniles — were arrested late Saturday night while hundreds, possibly 1,000, gathered near Millennium Park and proceeded to run through Chicago’s downtown, leaving a trail of violence and destruction.
A similar situation unfolded a day earlier at 31st Street Beach, where a 14-year-old was shot during a large gathering billed as a “teen trend” meetup.
Many are under the false impression that regular discussion of the violent crime plaguing America’s greatest cities (like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles) by media outlets like Fox News and The New York Post — and congressional leaders like Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Burgess Owens (R-UT) — is political. It isn’t.
The escalating soft-on-crime policies we’ve seen from progressives across the country have paved the way for genuine lawlessness.
Crimes — in many cities — simply aren’t punished anymore.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “Day One” memo — in which he instructed his subordinates to not prosecute low-level crimes and only jail (pretrial detention) the most serious offenders — is a perfect example of the kind of policies quickly sinking this country into chaos.
When there is little, or no, fear of criminal repercussions, “low level” crimes like theft, vandalism, arson and assault become much easier to commit.
How did such crimes become less punishable than a speeding ticket?
Leaders like Alvin Bragg is how.
Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson — another cut from the same cloth — had this to say about the downtown riot: “In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It is unacceptable and has no place in our city.
“However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.”
Not once did he mention law and order or reveal the punishment for this behavior in the future.
Not once did he show us he would be a tough-on-crime mayor in a city that so desperately needs it.
Two more teens were shot, and the incoming mayor excuses violence.
His implication? These kids didn’t have a choice. They’re victims of their environment.
I grew up in the same environment. Or a worse one.
Raised on the South Side by a single mom addicted to drugs, I spent my fair share in some of the roughest government projects Chicago’s ever had.
There was no hot water at times.
There were rats in the hallways and walls.
I walked past the gangs and drug-sellers to and from school every day, then to and from work.
But I never once ran down Michigan Avenue smashing windows and punching strangers.
I had a grandfather who instilled the worth of a hard day’s work.
A grandmother who taught the value of real faith.
Family and friends who showed the power of support.
I worked hard in local politics and eventually got a degree and headed to DC as a lobbyist.
Not because I’m special or exceptional.
Not at all.
There are thousands who did, and do, the same every day.
The rioters aren’t victims.
They’re lawbreakers.
The sooner men like Brandon Johnson and Alvin Bragg understand — or admit — that, the sooner the real victims will get their deserved safety and justice.
But whenever someone’s brave enough to speak out against such behavior, he or she is often demonized as some kind of conservative plant.
As if Americans no longer have a right to safety and law and order.”
If they are white, in the Great Replacement, clearly they do not.
