This is just awful. We're descending into third-world territory quickly. If the authorities choose to not "police", someone will fill that gap, and the neighborhoods will look to them as the local authority. This won't end well. Those neighborhood businesses protected by the "local authorities" will be visited in the next few weeks and encouraged to begin paying their protection money.
I swear every large city is run by democrats who brag incessantly how everyone else is racist, yet they preside over lawless ghettos that breed this crap. How do you care about minorities when you allow their communities to be looted and destroyed? I'm sure that the Chicago authorities that operate Chicago as a sanctuary city don't live anywhere near this place and don't have to endure the natural result of their political policies. Many businesses that were considering opening shop in these communities will not be doing so, and many local businesses will close shop and/or move to a community that won't destroy their investment.
Of course, Walmart and Target and the grocery chains don't have stores in these areas because they're all racist. Not because of insurance premiums, shoplifting, etc.
Sorry for the political rant. I'm just so sad and angry to see this happening.
