I never understand street racers. There are businesses that cater to your hobbies. I went to one of these once. Its extremely fun. The top speed is not as fast, but its not about the top speed. It is how close you are to the turns, and the other drivers. It makes everything feel very fast. And you will often crash into the other drivers, but its done safely. I am sure there is one in the Chicagoland.

Now imagine the quietness of 2 EV's drag racing through a neighborhood.

Let me tell you, there are MANY people in my area who didn't vote for this. This was another Soros backed prosecutor in this area.

In the old days, they kept crime out of the tourist areas because they knew people wouldn't come to visit. Many people I know hate or refuse to go to downtown Chicago anymore including me. My daughter was invited to perform with her band in the Mag Mile holiday parade and we declined. So when it starts affected them $$ wise, they might wake up. But virtue signaling might take priority.

The trick is enforcing laws and making sure that people who go and run someone down while drag racing go to prison and don't get off of the slap on the wrist. This includes stealing cars. If you are caught stealing a car you should get 5 years in prison. The fine line between order and chaos is one that must be enforced to keep civilization stable and thriving.

Democrats seem to be enabling lawlessness so they can eventually implement some sort of authoritarian solution that clamps down in all of our rights which is their ultimate goal
.


Nailed it. They are jonesing for a national police force that they can control since a majority of existing law enforcement are GOP.

One of my best friends in high school....his family gave him (net, after taxes) $5 million when he turned 18 (his grandfather was worth $150 million at the time, and his father was an only child).

And I graduated from high school in the 70s.
lol. Mommy and Daddy. Right.

Drugs, no doubt.

You claim it, you back it up.


Cities are the MOST POPULATED and have the MOST cops. Our biggest cities are dem run with dem Chief of Police and other high ranking officers are black.


You could be right but am not so sure.
