I just wish somebody could explain to me how three 13-year-olds steal a car, kill somebody and they are home with their parents. I don’t know how in the world this could be happening. Thank you, Kim Foxx. Another great job by you.

So how long will Kim Fox’s office be investigating this? Three 13-year-olds steal a car, crash a car and kill a man, and within 24 hours are not charged and released to their parents. The Robbins police chief said it perfectly, since there is no punishment, they’re going to continue what they are doing. There has to be a change in the law. Children committing adult crimes cannot continue to be treated like children stealing bubble gum.

I am sick and tired of the ignorant imbecile making the at-all hours robocalls regarding Mayor Keith Pekau. Please someone stop him and I sure hope our mayor addresses this awful issue.

BJ from Hazel Crest, your Speak Out about the lamp poles relates to something I dislike. Within the last year, ComEd replaced our street corner lamp pole with an energy efficient LED light. This new LED light is significantly dimmer than the original regular bulb we had for years. Now instead of having a brightly lit corner, we have a poorly lit corner. Being by a forest preserve, there are few other light sources. Recently I had to contact ComEd twice because it stopped working. We’re saving electricity, but we’re sacrificing reliability, quality and safety.

Until recently, Nikki Haley had strenuously maintained that she would never run for president against Donald Trump. But now she has declared her candidacy for the highest office in the land, demonstrating once again, there is no honor among either Republicans or thieves. And I wonder how many votes she would get in the red states if she was running under her actual birth name, Nimrata Randhawa.

Black History Month is nothing but the agenda that woke radicals are pushing to divide America and cause increased racial tension.

To Denny from Orland Park. When will you need your AK-47? You will need it when your own government becomes tyrannical enough to come to take your AK-47 away.
