The area around 74th street and Roosevelt is toxic, everyday on the Citizen app I see 2 to 4 crimes reported. How is it possible that there is no police presence in that area. There used to be police there all the time before, where are they now.

A good example should be set and this criminal should get life (without parole). I think the crime is bad enough for it, isn’t it?

Self defense is a human right

I wish decent people like this woman were were allowed to be armed. This punk would have had his bollox shot off.
