Why Are Deranged People Walking Chicago's Streets?

I saw this story out of Chicago today and it made me think of all the similar stories in places like Seattle, Portland and New York. The person in this story is a violent offender named William Livingston who has a long history of punching random women in the face and then walking away. Livingston has been arrested dozens of times and even gone to prison in the past, but no matter how many times this happens, he is always back on the street and going back to the same violent behavior. This week he was arrested yet again for two violent attacks that occurred in June.

Why are deranged people walking Chicago's streets? Some truly need hospitalization and medical intervention. But others? Could it be that the way the media reports these violent incidents gives a predator an opportunity to become a sick kind of celebrity? Sick, but a celebrity no less. And when he gets the attention he craves he claims that HE is the victim because he's black. Or gay. Or a trans Native American midget with a history of substance abuse due to a childhood comprised of an absent father and a 16 yr old homeless mother of 2. And anyone legitimately trying to help is accused of being aggressive (or worse) so even the cops look the other way. In other words, deranged people walk the streets because WE have created a very sick, irresponsible society that seems to celebrate corruption and perversion. It's on us---it it's not too late.

Because we no longer put people in mental institutions and our big cities all have liberal government that finds fear a useful tool.

Recidivism like Livingston's proves that the courts are at best impotent; at worst in on it. Instead of three strikes and you're out, it should be three strikes and lights out. Why should we pay for these monsters to ply their trade, with occasional vacations at the Gray Bar All Inclusive?

We once had it right when we had more mental institutions and far fewer psychiatrists and social workers. Some people have never progressed above the level of animal and never will in a full lifetime. Other than euthanasia, being locked up is the only answer. On another note, Chicago is a place that can drive one crazy. I once unwisely accepted a job there for more money. After doing my contracted year I said "no thanks" and got the heck out of there. Life was miserable in all aspects. The politicians were crooked, the police were crooked and corruption was the rule. The last two mayors have been DEI disasters but they had elected a long string of them before Lightfoot.

I'm convinced that the current extremely high levels of THC in weed are activating psychosis in people who have a latent tendency. In the 70s THC levels were like 1% in weed, now it is 25-30%. This is damaging brains, big time. And old hippy types who remember smoking some 1970s or 1980s low THC weed keep saying "it's harmless". Nope, it is frying brains by the millions.

Clearly a "guilty and mentally ill" option should be available to judges and juries and facilities where their mental problems can be addressed while they are punished with incarceration should be created. Safeguarding the public from persons who repeatedly harm others should be a goal of imprisonment, just like punishment and rehabilitation.

Why Are Deranged People Walking Chicago's (and other Democ'RAT-run cities) Streets? Because the 'Rat Politicians running these cities WANT them walking the streets! If the Politicians Wanted them Gone, they would have found a way to Make them 'Gone'. I support 'Three Felonies and you're in for Life Imprisonment', if not in prison, then in an institution for the Criminally Insane. The whole reason for having a government is to protect the Citizens from harm, whether it is internal (criminals) or external (foreign invasion). If the 'government' does not do that, then it is failing its basic responsibility and should be replaced.

We need secure facilities for the criminally insane. It would be better for the public and better overall for mental cases like this. Per #9. The late, great Lewis Grizzard from Georgia took a newspaper job in Chicago for better money. A big mistake and he wrote about Chicago's weather and that they only had two seasons, winter and the 4th of July.

Kamala Harris is back once again with an extremely interesting new angle on her 2024 election failure. Her memoir "107 Days" was released a couple of months ago, and she is about to wrap up her book tour (one that Democrats aren't too wild about, by the way) with a final stop on November 20. Not too terribly long ago, Harris told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from politics because the "system is broken" — only to tease a 2028 run at the end of October.

A Michigan woman said her 11-year-old son was expelled after he disassembled a loaded gun his classmate brought to school. Savitra McClurkin said she has been trying to enroll her son, Sakir Everett, into another school ever since he was abruptly kicked out of Dwight Rich School of the Arts in Lansing in May. "I'm upset with everybody," McClurkin said in a phone interview Monday. "I'm not just mad at the district, I'm mad at some of these teachers, administrators, as well as the city, because they did not handle this right."

Liberal women are kinda nuts. Have you noticed? Well, a new study out of Quebec, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, might shed some light on the reason why. The researchers found that women who have abortions are more than twice as likely to end up hospitalized for psychiatric problems compared to women who carry their pregnancies to term. This isn’t some fringe finding; it’s based on a massive study tracking over 1.2 million pregnancies for up to 17 years. The numbers don’t lie: for every 10,000 person-years, 104 women who aborted ended up hospitalized for serious mental health issues like psychiatric disorders, substance abuse,

He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. Born in 1936 in Shreveport, Louisiana, Dobson started a radio show counseling Christians on how to be good parents and in 1977 founded Focus on the Family.

The scope and sequencing of these strikes—outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in October 2024—suggest objectives that go well beyond deterrence, aiming instead to pave the way for regime change in Tehran.

The “History of Communism” will be integrated into the state’s social studies standards and implemented in the 2026-2027 school year. It’s the result of a 2024 law signed by Republican Gov.

To be sure, there are millions of needy Americans who were hurting from being deprived of SNAP as they tried to support children and keep their families from going hungry. This is not about them. This is about the other people — the individuals who dip into this program unjustly at the expense of the taxpayer.

Immigrants detained in facilities across the U.S. would be able to contact their lawyers and families under legislation filed by a group of congressional Democrats. The Restoring Access to Detainees Act affects immigrants who are placed in Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Sponsors of the legislation said it follows months of “credible reporting” that ICE and CBP have prevented detainees from contacting family members or legal representatives. “The Trump administration’s practice of snatching people off the street and denying them access to lawyers or calls to family is cruel, unnecessary, and puts U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants at risk of wrongful detention and deportation,”

Several years ago, my husband Steve and I were watching TV as an American politician of Hispanic descent responded to a challenging question by an antagonistic reporter. The politician gave such an eloquent and informed answer, sprinkling his response with historical facts, literary allusions, and even dashes of humor, that when he completed his answer, Steve said, “Damn...that is one brilliant guy!” Reflexively, I expressed what I’ve privately suspected for ages when witnessing similar scenarios: “He’s probably Jewish!” Steve laughed, but I meant it. Not long after this episode, I read a book by Jon Entine, a former producer for NBC News and ABC News and the author of several books.

COP30, the UN climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is crumbling. COP30 is the thirtieth “conference of the parties.” The first took place in Berlin in 1995. At COP21 in Paris in 2015, more than 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to cut emissions and to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. About 50,000 people are attending COP30 from more than 190 nations.

Many stakeholders in the resolution of the Israel-Gaza War insist that a tenuous but legitimate agreement is in place to resolve this war. The exception to this understanding is…Hamas. Recently, an official for Hamas, Osama Hamdan, made clear in no uncertain terms, that Hamas will “negotiate” Phase 2 of the agreement. But their definition of negotiating is “stalling for time.” In a podcast interview on November 10, Hamdan emphasized that only the first phase of the plan had been accepted, not Phase 2. Hamas has still not complied with Phase 1, which raises a number of questions: Did Hamas lie to US President Donald J. Trump when it said that it had accepted

Corruption has long been a friction point in U.S.-Ukraine relations.
