This area, known as Chicago’s “North Shore” to locals, is among the wealthiest collection of suburbs in the country. These are idyllic towns that look like they came out of a Hallmark movie, and are home to many movers, shakers, captains of industry and their very, very privileged families. In other words, this kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen there.
But it did. And the knee-jerk reaction was swift and predictable. “BAN GUNS!!” Illinois, Chicago and the suburbs arguably have the strictest gun laws in the country. But this still happened, and Chicago continues to make national headlines for the daily body counts. People are getting numb to it. “Ho hum. Another 50 people shot this weekend. Pass the salt.”
Maybe we should stop castrating our police departments, stop electing soft-on-crime prosecutors and woke political leadership, stop focusing on identity and pronouns instead of competence, and stop the indoctrination in the classroom that no longer teaches America the Beautiful, but America the Oppressor.
