Most Democrat leadership in the Land of Lincoln hate the idea of you or me having guns. These same politicians who run our state seem just as hostile to the idea of incarcerating violent offenders. It’s a combination that leads to bad things like victim disarmament and subsequently, higher crime.
And now, it surely seems as though our Democrat elected “leaders” are more concerned about protecting bags of chips than protecting school children.
How so, you ask?
In recent days, the Chicago School Board UNANIMOUSLY passed a resolution to remove Chicago Police School Resource Officers from the Chicago Public Schools next school year.
Yep, despite all the data from across the nation of the positive impact of SROs, CPS will have none next school year.

Chicago Public Schools is set to remove resource officers from its buildings by this fall after officials passed a resolution requiring the district to develop a new safety model that doesn’t include police inside schools.
The city’s seven-member Board of Education on Wednesday unanimously approved the item, which directs CPS CEO Pedro Martinez to implement a new whole school safety policy, which “must make explicit that the use of SROs within District schools will end by the start of the 2024-2025 school year.”
“Schools that have participated in that program will be able to create whole school safety plans and receive funding to invest in alternative safety strategies,” Board President Jianan Shi said. “We are investing in schools and they will have an opportunity to decide how to use those funds.”
At the same time Rep. Thaddeus Jones, a member of the Illinois Democrat Black Caucus (they pretty much run the Illinois General Assembly) introduced a bill titled the Armed Security Protection Act.
What do you think that his Armed Security Protection Act would require? Do you think it might armed security in public schools state-wide?
Because nothing bad happens ever in the CPS, right?

A charter school in the Loop will remain closed Monday, days after a pair of students were fatally shot just after classes ended Friday.
In a message posted on its webpage, Innovations High School informed students that classes would be canceled Monday and then resume Tuesday.
“It is with profound sadness and deep sorrow that we come together to mourn the devastating loss of two of our students, who were tragically shot and killed while being dismissed for the weekend,” Innovations principal Alicia Shines said in a statement. “This incident has devastated our students, faculty, staff and community at large. We appreciate the outpouring of support as our school grapples with this senseless act of violence.”
The victims — Robert Boston, 16, and Monterio Williams, 17 — were identified through Cook County Medical Examiner’s records. Autopsies confirmed both died of multiple gunshot wounds.
No. Instead, Rep. Thaddeus Jones’ HB-1231 would require every bank, pawn shop, grocery store, and gas station in Chicago to hire armed security. Because Thaddeus Jones and his fellow gun control jihadists care more about protecting bags of chips, bottles of liquor and packs of smokes than our school kids in school.
So to sum up, Democrats leading Chicago have ordered armed good guys out of the schools and are proposing that every stop-n-rob has gun-toting security on hand.
And Chicago wonders why they have a crime problem.
Little help, please. We have been indoctrinated that “private security” kills people possessing iced tea and skittles. Why then would they mandate private security at tea and skittle outlets?
Hey, #DoritoLivesMatter
Were the security guard that shot and killed the guy because he wouldn’t put on a Covid mask
The majority of voters in Chicago (and greater Chicago area) voted for these ass clowns. These brainless turds deserve everything they get. No sympathy, even for ‘he children’. The same brainless turds, due to population density control the vote statewide. The rest of us don’t deserve what ‘they’ get. I think ‘they’ deserve cranial enemas.
100% correct. Thanks to the zombies we all suffer and they just won’t stop voting to make everything worse, no matter if it’s taking rights away, never ending taxes, crime, or going broke(r) giving it all away to illegal invaders.
I seem to remember another Felon working as a security guard accidentally shot and killed a woman as he was trying to shoot a guy running away… a block away.
There seem to be no shortage of turds in Chicago they need flushed
