The man charged in the shooting death of Chicago police Officer Andrés Mauricio Vásquez Lasso had a serious previous contact with police. In July, the 18-year-old was arrested after he ran from a stolen car that contained two guns used in a shooting. As is the policy of Cook County’s woke State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, he was charged with a misdemeanor that later was dismissed. Shouldn’t Foxx attend the young officer’s wake and explain to his wife and child why this violent person was free to commit more crimes?

SH in Park Forest was asking why do all the people who don’t live in Chicago criticize Chicago? Well, it’s very simple, if Chicago sneezes the suburbs catch cold. My question is how come the people are continuously moving from Chicago into the suburbs and not the other way around? There’s a reason for that, and I feel you know the answer.

To Tom from Garfield Ridge, you speak about the Democrats lies. Well, nothing can compare to the proved and fact-checked king of the liars and head of the Republican Party, Donald J. Trump. In fact, the entire party is just filled with nothing but lies. George Santos, anyone. I don’t think he’s a Democrat.

I get a laugh every time I read about how the Democrats keep trying anything possible to discredit Trump. Now the Justice Department wants to sue him for Jan. 6. Lol. It’s amazing that the top secret documents supposedly found at Trump’s home quieted down after some were found at Biden’s. These leeches are doing nothing but wasting taxpayers money on all these witch hunts. If they had anything solid on Trump he would be in jail already. Trump 2024.

Sunday’s Speak Out contained contributions from Tinley Park, Evergreen Park, Orland Park and Burbank raging about Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot. Interesting enough, despite the fact that the Southtown covers the South and Southwest sides of the city, there were no contributions about politics in Chicago from city residents. So, if what goes on in the city of Chicago concerns these contributors so much, move there. Then you can vote you’re angry hearts out in every election.
