Chicago Will Showcase Kamala’s Crime Policies
As the Democrat National Convention approaches, the words of its newly elected Mayor Brandon Johnson, “Chicago is a world-class city that looks like America and demonstrates the values of the Democratic Party,” will be tested by a grim reality. As noted by Manhattan Institute scholar Heather MacDonald in today’s Wall Street Journal, progressive policies supported by Mayor Johnson and his predecessor Lori Lightfoot have turned the windy city into an open-air slaughterhouse. The Chicago approach to crime, which includes labeling police as racists, refusing to punish property and drug crimes, and undercharging most violent offenders, has been duplicated in other big democrat-controlled cities such as Los Angeles, Washington, DC, San Francisco and Oakland. All have suffered from dramatically increased crime and violence since the 2020 George Floyd Riots.
