After calling to defund law enforcement in the wake of George Floyd’s death Democrat run big cities are now seeing a surge in murder, shootings, and other types of criminal directed violence.
Via Fox News:
Chicago recorded at least 11 killed and 67 wounded during an outbreak of violence, according to Fox 32. The deaths included a 3-year-old and a 13-year-old girl. The teenage girl was home Saturday night when she was struck in the neck from the shot fired from outside. She was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital.
CBS Chicago reported that eight of those shot were children and teens, four of them died. The 3-year old was with his stepfather at about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday when he was struck in the back. Witnesses told the station that the gunfire came from a blue Honda.
“Tears are a natural reaction to these tragic stories of violence. But we need to do more than just cry,” Chicago Police Supt. David Brown said. “Let’s keep violent offenders in jail longer, and let’s revamp the home monitoring system. It’s not working.”
While gun controlled Chicago is always a murder and mayhem hotspot it appears calls to defund police has emboldened the criminal element.
Same with Seattle:
Investigators in Seattle are looking into a deadly shooting at CHOP, the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone, that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old male.
Councilmember Kshama Sawant, who represents the neighborhood, reportedly said in a statement that “there are indications” that the shooting could be a “right-wing” attack. KING5 said it reached out to her for more details on the claim, but did not immediately get a response. No motive has been confirmed by the police.
Police are investigating a second shooting late Sunday night in the protest zone.
Off course, Minneapolis which is the epicenter of the defund the police movement also, predictably, saw a surge in criminal violence:
Minneapolis, the city at the center of the national outrage over Floyd’s death, recorded one death and 11 injured in the uptown section of the city early Sunday morning. Fox 9 reported that it is believed suspects opened fire as patrons waited to go inside a restaurant.
“They had to have started over here on the sidewalk and made their way out to the middle of the street here shooting back and forth,” Fred Hwang, a witness, told the station. “That’s why there’s broken glass here and over here and also right next to our building, there’s a broken window.”
Sure looks like residents of Democrat run cities and states are about to get a hard lesson on how progressive policies work in the real world.
As they say, people get the government they deserve and it sure looks like many Democrat voters are about to learn a tough lesson.
