  1. Politicians have never supported homeless citizens like this.
    445
  2. Deport, deport, deport after jail.
    232
  3. I’m a Chicagoan who felt compelled to get my firearms ID card, next is training and a conceal carry to feel safer walking the streets.
    76
  4. Sometimes citizens need to do whatever to protect themselves. There were a lot of riots in the 1960’s and other times in history when politicians went too far.
    69
  5. Mayor Brandon Johnson has determined the poor Black communities can share their largesse with newly delivered poor people.
    44
  6. Anyone who owns a liquor store in Chicago with a glass store front needs internal steel doors and security system.
    43
  7. President Biden
    31
  8. Israel was attacked. What Israel is doing is a tenth of what Russia is doing to Ukraine without provocation. Where is the outrage against Russia?
    26
  9. People need to learn emotional self-control.
    25
  10. Let them stay outside like homeless Chicagoans
    23
  11. She’s not a migrant, so she’ll be responsible for her medical bills and car repairs.
    20
  12. Aren’t kept in jail for crime, no emotional self control
    19
  13. Thieves know there are not enough police thanks to Mayor Brandon Johnson.
    17
  14. No bond, shocking!
    15
  15. There are aldermen homes, mayor’s home, city owned empty schools, vacant homes, vacant lots. Police need to arrest bus drivers and confiscate busses for human trafficking.
    13
  16. Mortgage refinance is one of the biggest financial mistakes people make, pay off house as soon as possible.
    13
  17. People work hard and pay high taxes to live in nice areas, why should anyone be given that privilege? These migrants need to be sent back to their home countries and wait in line to come into U.S. just like my parents did.
    12
  18. Defunded police means no police protection
    12
  19. You really want your family members to come in legally if you want them all to stay. Easy come, easy go as it’s said. A new President could send most illegals out of the country quickly. Also, there are a lot of long term government benefits for people here legally. I used to work in the Federal government.
    11
  20. Mayor Brandon needs to take more resources from poor communities to keep migrants warm and fed.
    10
  21. I’d sign that petition. Trump lost his right to run for President.
    10
  22. Palestinian Hamas killed fellow Americans, these protestors are loyal to which country?
    9
  23. Everyone walking around in Chicago needs a ‘fake’ wallet with some cash and expired or fake cards, maybe a cheap second phone in case they are robbed.
    9
  24. Finding where guns fired harmful to criminals
    9
  25. People are defending themselves.
    8
  26. No money for police, need money for entitled migrants.
    8
  27. No, Matteson is a small town at end of suburbs about 10 miles southwest of edge of Chicago.
    8
  28. War is a terrible thing, unfortunately Hamas set up and forced this war instead of developing its own economy.
    8
  29.  @x-men69-96  I enjoy life working for myself and hobbies in retirement, not big on traveling.
    8
  30. For once, I’m proud of an action of Chicago city council.
    7
  31. More likely Bears want more out of Arlington Heights.
    7
  32. There is such an over abundance of jobs in Chicago that Mayor Johnson needs to import migrant workers.
    7
  33.  @TDK2K  Sorry, but both parties are big government, Republicans spend on military and corporate subsidies. No Republican administration has frozen or cut back federal spending. George Bush Sr. followed by Bill Clinton were the only presidents to work to limit government spending and bring things back budget into balance for last 50 years.
    7
  34. In bad Chicago neighborhoods, tow truck drivers need bullet proof vehicles and guns especially at night.
    7
  35. Hold the politicians responsible for soft on crime policies
    6
  36. Lack of information about ride and passengers… something doesn’t add up.
    6
  37. Police need regular training so they don’t miss.
    6
  38. Mayor Brandon and all the aldermen that support these illegal immigrants should take them in their homes and backyards first. Then fill up the abandoned homes the city owns. Put tents on vacant lots the city owns. Police need to arrest bus drivers and confiscate buses for human trafficking.
    6
  39. Same as my parents immigrating to Chicago, working hard and NEVER asking for handouts.
    6
  40. DA, not the cops
    6
  41. Resources like one way plane tickets to Venezuela.
    6
  42. No, travel is a privilege. There are rules and laws when people use transportation. Moving people who are here illegally is people smuggling which is illegal.
    6
  43. We citizens of Chicago will keep track of every alderman voting to fund migrants and work to vote them out next election
    5
  44. Everyone needs conceal carry.
    5
  45. Probably looking for a bathroom.
    5
  46. That’s what you think.
    5
  47. Not about free speech, it’s about acceptable instruction according to university standards. She has every right to express her views outside the university as a private citizen.
    5
  48. How would you know, it’s covered?
    5
  49. Get training and conceal carry license and you’ll be legal.
    5
  50. Everyone has right to concealed carry in Illinois that’s not a felon.
    5
  51. Criminals had to leave or serve jail time. Gang members are here to start new criminal organizations.
    5
  52. Less than 1% of budget goes to other countries. The big money is wasted on permanent overseas bases like in Europe and Japan. Asians and Europeans are wealthy enough to handle their own defense, other than Ukraine.
    4
  53. Did migrants have proper identification when they travelled by plane?
    4
  54. Analog signals also had problems
    4
  55.  @Chaperonesherry  You’ve obviously never listened to an interview with Robert Kennedy, Elon Musk nor Donald Trump. Outside the campaign circus, they are all sensible supporters of our country. Ukraine needs to be Europe’s responsibility. We can’t afford to be involved in foreign wars.
    4
  56. I disagree. Officers are not punching bags, so what’s left if officers are unable to subdue someone? If criminals know they can fight police and police need to let them go then there is no law enforcement like in certain neighborhoods in the south and west side. Expect more criminal activity in Chicago. Arm yourselves no matter where you live.
    4
  57. A lot of us true blue Democrats didn’t know we were voting for Trump until they kicked Kennedy and Biden to the curb, then installed Harris. I’m now 100% for Trump.
    4
  58. Doesn’t sound Constitutional, maybe Democratic Party or Black Caucus are biased organizations.
    3
  59. I took the CTA when I was young, took an hour to get to high school on time.
    3
  60. Often Trump uses sarcasm, duh!
    3
  61. Put them in jail. Vote Democrat, O’Neill Burke for State’s Attorney.
    3
  62. I voted for Biden, will vote for Trump
    3
  63. Conceal Carry
    3
  64. Why would ATM have big glass windows and bright lights so anyone outside could see customers withdrawing money?
    3
  65. There’s been reparations since the 1970’s called public housing, welfare and preferential hiring.
    3
  66. Because his ear is covered with a bandage, duh!
    3
  67. No, it’s time poor black citizens shared some of their benefits with others.
    3
  68. Many Chicagoans agree with you.
    3
  69. Thank Democrats for no bail, they will be out immediately
    3
  70. Buildings are very nice, developers need to buy neighborhood and replace the people.
    3
  71. Jail and deportation if any non-citizens
    3
  72. Two parties, both spend like crazy, neither fixed border problems.
    3
  73. You mean groups like pro hispanic and pro black groups?
    3
  74. Voting for Trump.
    3
  75. Convictions on appeal, especially because they were politically motivated charges.
    3
  76. Never again
    3
  77. A one way ticket to their home country
    3
  78. This is one of many reasons I’m thinking of leaving Chicago and not building an addition to my house. It makes sense to do the minimal and keep my money for my exit strategy.
    2
  79. Some people are simply working poor.
    2
  80. Great job defunding police so they don’t patrol around big events, instead have money spent on migrants. Chicago Mayor Johnson and city council have blood on their hands.
    2
  81. About right at 50%. Federal income taxes are about 30% plus state taxes, in California that makes about 44% income taxes. Plus property taxes, plus utility taxes, plus sales taxes, plus Medicare taxes. If you’re retired, higher income people pay higher Medicare called IRMA.
    2
  82. It definitely sounds like a hit.
    2
  83. They cut back police. State’s Attorney Kim Foxx won’t prosecute criminals since they are disadvantaged. No bond required. 3 year jail time for second degree homicide. Have you been living under a rock?
    2
  84. No they wouldn’t. By that way, that guy was not elected, he was selected like a certain current candidate p.
    2
  85. Corporations get subsidies and write offs, get involved in politics to end it. A minimum corporate tax based on stock values would help so wealthy couldn’t avoid taxes. Eliminate trusts where wealthy hide their money. It’s the fault of politicians.
    2
  86. That’s a real off comment with no meaning.
    2
  87. I’ve been working for myself since retiring 8 years ago, there is no full retirement unless you’re a multimillionaire or you’ll be broke and dependent on government or family handouts.
    2
  88.  @r.hudsonmadeo5745  Sometimes sarcasm says so much, so much better.
    2
  89. A socialist party is far left, not far right.
    2
  90. Trump was no better cutting taxes for rich and first with trillion dollar deficit.
    2
  91. That’s twisting facts. Elon is offering money to get as many people to register to vote as possible. He’s not determining whether people will vote or who people will vote for.
    2
  92. Universal job opportunities makes more sense.
    2
  93. All planned ahead of time by Greyhound management to try to extort money out of local governments. It sounds like they will drive Greyhound into bankruptcy.
    2
  94. It wasn’t a deal, it was an offer of a deal.
    2
  95. Vote for Democrat Eileen O’Neill Burke for State’s Attorney, she’ll go after career criminals.
    2
  96. Yes, politicians must maintain the underclass.
    2
  97.  @rickyricardo6730  Police and fireman live on the Northwest part of Chicago, criminals know that so avoid the area.
    2
  98. Many older people had the opportunity to buy Amazon in 2008 when it was cheap.
    2
  99.  @tamaracubit6469  Everything is political especially social issues, immigration, police, taxes, etc.
    2
  100. Seems like 100% employment in poor Black communities, so need immigrants.
    2
  101. Nothing, WWII was done in by far left.
    2
  102. Until the next city election
    2
  103. Smart to get CC so you don’t lose your gun and don’t get charged with illegal carry.
    2
  104. Many people are working poor, like my mother. I had to take her in and take of her in her old age.
    2
  105. Actually, I’ve been doing great with my investments… Biden 2024!
    2
  106. Money, greed and religious extremists.
    2
  107. Mayor Johnson, governor Pritzker, city councilmen and other virtue signalers should move migrants into their own homes and businesses for free. Texas did not ask for these migrants either, they are here because of President Biden.
    2
  108. Anyone who accumulates wealth works hard for it and makes positive contributions to the economy. Even a crook like Trump.
    2
  109. Police don’t have a choice.
    2
  110. Expect more stores to have locked doors and only buzz in people. Some will have armed security.
    2
  111. Mayor Johnson lives in la la land
    2
  112. As long as house paid off, half a million will do.
    2
  113. People don’t understand that dollar is a medium of exchange, nothing more. In the early 1960’s federal budget was always balanced and people were guaranteed a 5% return on their savings from banks because banks got FDIC insurance. Low income people lived okay. Since then, politicians changed the laws to help the wealthy and shaft everyone else.
    2
  114. Drip, drip, drip of sarcasm.
    2
  115. Germany got destroyed in WWII
    2
  116. My investments have done great, yes I’m enjoying it!
    2
  117. ⁠ @asante6010  Police are staying away since they aren’t wanted and told they weren’t needed.
    2
  118. Illinois has been Republican in the past. Last Republican governor never had a budget. When they controlled the state, they tried to take control of O’Hare airport which was paid for by Chicagoans. Not a good record.
    1
  119. Democrats are extremely dirty.
    1
  120. That does not sound legal, hidden slush funds. Brandon sounds like a crook. Hopefully, federal administration becomes Republican and investigates.
    1
  121. 100%
    1
  122. Democrat judges are part the reason so many people voted for Trump and Republicans.
    1
  123. But then they’ll buy more guns, lawyers and lose what’s left in lottery tickets.
    1
  124. Vote for Ann Burke for States Attorney!
    1
  125. They also get free healthcare and education.
    1
  126. Some of us.
    1
  127. I’m planning to mount my alley security cameras higher up and slightly hidden.
    1
  128. Rioting by citizens in the 1960’s brought on Civil Rights and Vietnam War to an eventual end. Sometimes politicians are stone deaf until they are afraid, just saying it’s happened before.
    1
  129. Don’t ignore housing migrants and protecting migrants.
    1
  130. Mayor Brandon Johnson obviously thinks blacks in Chicago have been getting too uppity and need to be moved further out in the fields away from the big house where he works.
    1
  131. All homeowners need security systems and guns to protect themselves in Illinois
    1
  132.  InnerGiggles  You know nothing about bleeding.
    1
  133. Are politicians happy with defunded police, no cooperation with federal agencies, no bail, few prosecutions and short jail terms? All these non-stop shootings are the result, or was that the plan?
    1
  134. Defunded police are too busy supporting migrants.
    1
  135.  @buddyboye4203  why bring in a person’s religion?
    1
  136. Trump started first trillion dollar deficit, neither candidate is any good.
    1
  137.  @TF-vb9us  Based on opinions on this video, Trump will win by a landslide.
    1
  138. Boeing contracted out building the plane to avoid paying union labor. Boeing is paying the price.
    1
  139. Hitler was selected, not voted in, just like Kamala.
    1
  140. There have been reparations after the Civill War, in 1960’s with preferential treatment in school and jobs until it was declared illegal. They just didn’t call it reparations.
    1
  141. Some people need to not be overtly and publicly racist in Chicago
    1
  142. Also thank Republicans for their worthless wars, excess spending, cutting taxes on rich, not taxing corporations, and never securing border and never passing reforms like promised term limits when they were in power.
    1
  143. Palestine was a province of the British Empire. It was never a country because in 1948 Arab countries invaded to stop it from being established. Nobody cared about Palestine after that until Israel won the territories from war with Arabs.
    1
  144. Age discrimination is illegal.
    1
  145. Not enough police, few prosecutions, no bond, convictions lead to short jail time, culture of blaming others… of course crime is out of control
    1
  146. People normally work about 40 years.
    1
  147. Democrats are a cult.
    1
  148. Then Trump also gets blame for budget deficits and inflation.
    1
  149. Socialist open border dystopian candidate Harris, vast majority of people have more sense than that!
    1
  150. And Republicans
    1
  151. Joke right? Biden was elected by voters, kicked out and Harris installed. Democrats could have gone down with dignity, instead they will lose everything.
    1
  152. Horrible deal for Chicago. Bears want free public land and public subsidies for 12 games a year. Us Chicago taxpayers will get stuck with the bill. This mayor has really put poor citizens under the bus in Chicago.
    1
  153. Mayor Johnson wants migrants because of full employment in black communities
    1
  154. Migrants also get free healthcare
    1
  155. Police should not be used against legitimate protestors. Mayor Brandon is acting like a dictator.
    1
  156. Third world diseases have been brought to Chicago
    1
  157.  @James-o1h4m  It’s both parties spending too much and allow wealthy to avoid taxes. Biden is continuing what Trump started with trillion dollar deficits, blocking cheap Chinese cars and not allowing the masses to buy cheaper drugs from other Western countries. Two old corrupt mentally deficient men running for President, great choices.
    1
  158. The vast majority of black people are not criminals.
    1
  159. Republicans like open borders, they never fixed them so businesses can get cheap labor.
    1
  160. Covid is all over the United States, it often presents as a long term cold according to my nurse practitioner friend. My neighbor and I both just had it. Vaccine deniers should stay home and away from doctors and hospitals.
    1
  161. Don’t drink the waters!
    1
  162. Why do Democrats hate border security?
    1

    1
  164. Police should be arresting bus drivers and impound buses for human trafficking, mayor wienie fault
    1
  165. So not true. Zero tax on tips, Social Security and overtime goes 90% to people on the bottom half of income.
    1
  166.  @sandycove777  That was taken out of context, like things will be so good you won’t have to vote (for change) again.
    1
  167. It’s unfortunate decent black people are lumped together with the criminal element. It seems whenever blacks start getting ahead, they get pushed back like with the migrants being pushed to the front of the line. I say this as a lifelong white Chicagoan.
    1
  168. Double digit inflation to high single digit inflation, not the lie of 3-4% inflation.
    1
  169. Why there is no shopping in some neighborhoods of Chicago.
    1
  170. Good thing no police got hurt, we have too few and none to replace those retiring. Migrant spending takes top priority!
    1
  171. Defunded police department can’t get to shooters in time. If they do, Kim Foxx doesn’t prosecute. Real reasons technology isn’t helping.
    1
  172. Tiff districts are causing the budget deficits.
    1
  173. Due to people not being involved in politics and allowing politicians to change laws to benefit rich and corporations
    1
  174. Budget deficit is because of Tiff districts draining 10% of property taxes and migrant spending. End Tiff districts and stop spending on migrants and budget would be in balance.
    1
  175. Only fraud will prevent Burke from being the official candidate. The votes aren’t that close.
    1
  176. Biden is the one who kept talking racism, “you ain’t black”, “white privilege” and other lies. Racism has been Biden’s entire political career, switching on which side depending on where the political wind was blowing.
    1
  177. Democrats care about criminals, not victims.
    1
  178. Trump was a disaster, that’s how Biden got elected.
    1
  179. Never ending inflation
    1
  180. Other than inflation, economy has been doing great.
    1
  181. Migrants need to eat
    1
  182. Okay, what government give away are Bears trying to get, other than free use of multi-billion dollar Chicago property?
    1
  183. You don’t know what genocide is, there’s a war going on. Hamas fighters are hiding among civilians, it’s they who are at fault.
    1
  184. Migrants are 100% fault of President Biden and Democrats
    1
  185. If buses get impounded with heavy fines and drivers arrested, things will change. Big rig trucks used to park on Chicago streets until the city booted, towed and heavily fined trucks for illegal parking… no more.
    1
  186. U.S. has no business in Middle East, Europe or Asia, let locals take care of their own business. We do nothing but make our citizens more poor, except for those with government contracts.
    1
  187. Trump started the trillion dollar deficits. Both parties always spend more money.
    1
  188. Actress award goes to all the trans that Biden promotes in government.
    1
  189. Thank Supreme Court for that bad ruling.
    1
  190. Brandon needs to followup and remove police from all predominantly black and progressive neighborhoods, replaced with social workers and violence de-escalators. Police need to be called in only after a situation has been evaluated to need the police.
    1
  191. Trump will win
    1
  192. Absolutely right, most shootings are caused by drug dealing, second cause is people trying to steal.
    1
  193. She’s go full open borders, handouts and gaslighting
    1
  194. Sell it to the highest bidder and use tens of millions to build in poor neighborhoods
    1
  195. In Illinois people are let out after serving half their sentence. Judges are mostly social justice warriors. Kim Foxx is terrible.
    1
  196.  @lamarravery4094  Yes, Kamala was not voted in. She was selected just like that guy in 1930’s.
    1
  197. LA gas too many
    1
  198. Trump started trillion dollar deficits.
    1
  199. Citizens need to arm themselves.
    1
  200. Majority of people do not support migrants. Next election politician who run against these politicians will win.
    1
  201. Mayor Brandon Johnson uses police to fight against citizens protesting migrants instead of using police to drive down streets finding stolen vehicles that are used for crimes It’s working class people that get their cars stolen for these crimes and their businesses destroyed because of Mayor Johnson, supported by city council… vote them all out!
    1
  202. And Republicans
    1
  203. Upper class neighborhoods usually means criminals there aren’t paying taxes, other white collar crimes or hire others to do their illegal activities.
    1
  204. That is really a low blow comment. People like you opened my eyes and why I’ve gone from Democrat to 100% Republican.
    1
  205. Real crimes
    1
  206. Less than 1% of budget
    1
  207. Tiny part of federal budget
    1
  208. Chicago’s virtue signaling politicians need to pay the price for their idiocy. It’s not the fault of Texas. Democrats need to support border security for all or be voted out.
    1
  209. Everyone is a person of some color so that means nothing. What are Harris’s policies? How will her policies help the United States? Does she respect hard working people that keep this economy running? Does she support family values? Does citizenship mean something special to her?
    1
  210. For free since Pritzker supports migrants
    1
  211. Palestinian occupation means dismantling Israel and turn it into a Muslim Palestinian country.
    1
  212. Most seniors do, but many do not.
    1
  213. Next Attorney General needs to investigate this as well as trunk load of votes in car, because Kim Foxx will do nothing.
    1
  214.  @This_tub  Communism is far left, not far right. Far right is capitalist free market.
    1
  215. No public money for Bears, let them pay for stadium and PAY fairly for use of public property!
    1
  216. Soft on crime people are the problem.
    1
  217. Bag tax hits the poor most, typical of politicians. I live in Chicago, bag tax and bike lanes drive me to do my shopping in the suburbs.
