Oh, but wait…it gets better.
Four people suffered stab wounds at a single address in the Gresham neighborhood. CBS Chicago has that story.
Four people were stabbed after a fight broke out in a backyard in Gresham.
Chicago police said a woman stabbed several men near an apartment building and then someone stabbed her.
All four were taken to a local hospital and are expected to recover.
All that violence happened as Mayor Lori Lightfoot busied herself using police resources not to crack down on criminals killing people, but upon churches holding in-person services. Unfortunately for Lightfoot, the highest profile incident saw police locked out of the service.
From Breitbart:
Lightfoot reportedly sent three marked squad cars and two unmarked cars full of officers to the Chicago Cornerstone Baptist Church in the South Side’s Woodlawn neighborhood. Woodlawn is just south of Hyde Park, the area in which the Obamas lived for a short time before Barack became president…
Pastor Lewis told Starnes that he felt like he was confronting “the Soviet-style KGB” as the officers pounded on his doors and demanded entry to shut the church down.
“Thankfully, our doors were locked as a normal safety precaution we take each service to protect our members from the escalating gun violence in Chicago,” Lewis said.
A sentry that is usually posted outside the sanctuary to monitor the street during service also reported seeing occupants of a dark car with tinted windows filming the incident through one opened window.
“All we are seeking is the same consideration and trust that is being tendered toward the liquor stores, abortion clinics, and Walmart,” Lewis told Starnes.
Criminals don’t care about laws or social norms. And Chicago pols apparently are more worried about stopping worshipers than doing something about gang violence.
Yet that doesn’t stop gun control advocates like Lightfoot from claiming that if we just pass a few more laws, bad people would stop criminal misuse of guns.
Mayor lightfoot is the devil’s disciple, look at her eyes in almost any picture and you can see evil staring at you.
Churchgoing people are not the retched mayor’s constituents, the evil criminal gangs are. May God guide us through these evil times and destroy the evil ones.
