Left-Wing Lunacy

With everything that is going wrong in the Windy City, the Chicago Board of Education just voted unanimously to remove all law enforcement resource officers from the public school system.  You can’t cure stupidity or left-wing ideology.

In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 riots, many left-wing jurisdictions did the same thing as the “defund the police” movement swept the country. Now they are bringing them back because it was a bad idea to remove school resource officers in the first place.

Most parents want to protect their kids as much as we protect our banks. But no matter how many people get assaulted, injured, or robbed, some on the left still see the police officers as “the bad guys.”

In San Francisco, where crime is increasingly tolerated rather than prosecuted, a hardware store is trying a novel approach to combat “rampant shoplifting.” During certain hours of the day, the store is only letting in one customer at a time, and they are being escorted by an employee as they walk around the store. Good luck.

And in Oregon, where voters legalized virtually every drug imaginable, fentanyl overdoses are up more than 1,500%, not to mention increases in crime and other social ills associated with illegal drug use. This progressive left experiment has been a total disaster.

I bring up these few examples because this is what happens when the left rules.  Businesses and normal people are driven out by the insanity when everything breaks down.
