(VIDEO) Pathetic: ‘Unloved’ Carjackers are the Reason for Skyrocketing Violent Auto Theft
Just two short months ago, Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed a carjacking spike in the Windy City on distance learning.
Or as the left-leaning MSN.com noted, “Lightfoot drew a direct correlation to the start of remote learning.”
Obviously, that weak swing-and-a-miss of an excuse never really seemed to gain any traction, nor should it have.
Fast-forward to present day, Lightfoot’s latest patently stupid attempt to find blame for through the roof crime is just as feeble.
Blame it on mommy for not breast feeding, blame it on daddy for failing to potty train, blame it on the rain, blame it on the boogie… blame it on who or whatever you want. Just know that Lightfoot finds fault in the lack of love thrown at carjackers.
Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot is out with a new excuse for why crime continues to rise in her city, and, no surprise here, it’s still not her or other Democrat authorities’ soft-on-crime policies. This time, Lightfoot is lamenting a lack of love for the reason so many in the Windy City turn to a life of crime.
In Chicago, like many other cities, carjackings are among the violent crimes on the rise. The Chicago Police Department says that in their city, 57 percent of carjackings are committed by juveniles, and Lori Lightfoot’s latest excuse for the rising crime is “unloved” young people.
Life’s a drag.
Ignoring Chicago’s anti-gun laws that leave law abiding Chicagoans defenseless, anti-police rhetoric that demonizes and undermines the efforts of law enforcement to uphold the rule of law, and lenient policies that often treat criminals as victims, Lightfoot is now literally putting feelings over facts.
“There are too many young people in this room that feel unloved, and we need to change that if we are going to change the trajectory of their lives,” Lightfoot said during an event with young residents of her city over the weekend. She added that Chicago cannot “arrest ourselves” out of crime, as FOX 32 reported.
