CRIME WAVE: Chicago Felony Theft Charges SKYROCKET As New Cook County State's Attorney Enforces Laws

Posted • December 27, 2024: Behavior that is rewarded is repeated. It's a very simple concept, and one the Left knows: which is why they encourage (and often don't punish) anti-social behaviors like blocking roads, theft, and other crimes. This is why repeated offenders are set loose with little or no bond, no matter how many times they commit crimes (violent or otherwise). But people are fed up with being cowed by criminals. In Cook County, IL the new state's attorney -- unlike former state's attorney Kim Foxx -- has decided to enforce laws concerning shoplifting. Shocking, we know. HUGE: Felony theft charges in Chicago surge by 154% this month after O'Neill Burke took over Soros DA Kim Foxx. $1,000 threshold is now $300. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1872484395090657280/vid/avc1/352x640/kv1b5gFSsaJtLD8Z.mp4 -- Shoplifters in Chicago are more than 100% more likely to be slapped with felony charges under Cook County’s new state’s attorney than they were under Kim Foxx’s administration.

Retired justice Eileen O’Neill Burke took office on December 2 and immediately followed through on her campaign promise to adhere to state law by pursuing felonies against people who shoplift merchandise worth more than $300. Foxx ordered prosecutors to withhold felony charges unless the value exceeded $1,000 or the accused shoplifter had ten or more previous convictions. Just amazing. Foxx let people steal multiple times or steal less than $1,000 and get away with it without felony charges. O'Neill Burke ain't having none of that. When you have laws that are enforced, your have order. This is food so everyone! Black, brown and white families don’t like paying more for groceries because other criminals are looting and destroying stores. Law and order is the way to go! They're not stealing food, though. Case in point: Gucci 100% discount only for cultural enrichers. You can't eat Gucci. -- Will Mayor Brandon Johnson claim credit for this? Crime will go down now but his woke agenda is being thwarted. Interesting situation. His approval rating is in the toilet, so he'll try to take any credit he can. (…)
