MEGHAN MCCAIN: Mobs are destroying Chicago – however gutless far-left lunatics are defending the thugs


America is being gaslighted.

We’re being told that we should live in fear.

Are you prepared to simply accept that?

I’m not. 

My house is a brief drive from the middle of Washington D.C. and never a day goes by that I don’t worry about rising crime. Our younger daughter goes to a playgroup in a metropolis park that I’ll cease attending due to an alarming rise in carjackings. 

It’s my worst nightmare {that a} thug steals my SUV with my toddler helplessly strapped to her automotive seat inside. 

Final week, my hairstylist was carjacked in broad daylight proper exterior of her salon. As she was unloading her trunk, a gaggle of males pulled up, one jumped into the entrance seat of her car and took off. 

When she referred to as the police at 10am, she was advised her incident was the fourth carjacking that morning.

My mother-in-law is a Washington Nationals baseball season ticket proprietor and for the primary time off-duty D.C. law enforcement officials could also be employed to patrol native sports activities venues. I now fear about her each time she goes to a recreation.

Is that this the brand new regular?

Apparently, sure, in accordance with Democrats working the nation’s cities. What a sorry state of the nation.

Nevertheless well-justified my fears are, they pale compared to what thousands and thousands of different Individuals, with far few choices than I, face each single day.

For a second, put your self within the footwear of 20-year-old Ashley and 22-year-old DJ. They’re an out-of-town couple, who had been purchasing in downtown Chicago this previous Saturday evening.

After stepping out of Nordstrom, they had been in search of a spot to eat. It was a superbly unusual night. Then every thing spiraled wildly uncontrolled.

They had been surrounded by a mob of as much as 100 youngsters.

'They said they were going to kill us,' remembered Ashley (above, right). 'They turned around and started fighting. I got pushed down to the ground and the whole group went to DJ and not to me.'

'They said they were going to kill us,' remembered Ashley (above, right). 'They turned around and started fighting. I got pushed down to the ground and the whole group went to DJ and not to me.'

‘They stated they had been going to kill us,’ remembered Ashley (above, proper). ‘They circled and began preventing. I obtained pushed all the way down to the bottom and the entire group went to DJ and to not me.’

‘They stated they had been going to kill us,’ remembered Ashley. ‘They circled and began preventing. I obtained pushed all the way down to the bottom and the entire group went to DJ and to not me.’

By now you’ll have seen the video of the assault. It’s terrifying. Ashley shrieks as the gang swallows her up. Her head dips beneath the our bodies. Her attackers jostle with one another, frantic to get of their punch.

It’s one among many tales. Over the weekend, it was absolute mayhem in Chicago.

Lots of of younger individuals flooded the town’s iconic purchasing district. Shops had been looted and vandalized. Home windows had been smashed. Visitors was blocked. Vacationers had been terrified.

Two teen boys had been shot. One man was reportedly crushed as he sat within the driver’s seat of his automotive after his windshield was smashed in.

At this level within the decline of America’s cities, I don’t anticipate metropolis leaders to be appalled.

These days are lengthy gone.

Mob violence is a daily prevalence on this as soon as nice metropolis. And predictably, there have been few calls for for arrests and accountability for these actually destroying their very own group.

In America as we speak, violence, destruction, and nihilism is accepted. It’s the brand new regular.

‘Right here’s the factor,’ outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot advised reporters on Monday, lengthy after the complete image of the chaos was clear. ‘The overwhelming majority of the younger folks that got here downtown got here downtown as a result of it was nice climate and a chance to benefit from the metropolis… I’m not going to make use of your language, which I feel is fallacious, to say that it was mayhem.’

Nothing to see her, people. Simply transfer alongside.

Even worse — the response of Illinois State Senator Robert Peters. He didn’t solely ignore the vandalism, beatings and shootings – he outright justified it.

‘I might have a look at the habits of younger individuals as a political act and assertion,’ Peters tweeted Sunday. ‘It’s a mass protest towards poverty and segregation.’

Arguably, essentially the most troubling response of all got here from Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson. He makes clear that nothing goes to vary within the Windy Metropolis.

‘Under no circumstances do I condone the damaging exercise we noticed within the Loop and lakefront this weekend. It’s unacceptable and has no place in our metropolis,’ he hedged – a dependable sign that what comes subsequent goes to be unhealthy.

‘Nevertheless,’ he wrote, ‘it’s not constructive to demonize youth who’ve in any other case been starved of alternatives in their very own communities.’

Let’s be clear, nobody is demonizing law-abiding teenagers. They’re pleading for fundamental security. However in Chicago and throughout America – that’s an excessive amount of to ask.

Frankly, in case you’re shocked by these reactions – you haven’t been paying consideration.

The summer season of 2020 was my crimson tablet occasion. It was the second that I acknowledged a paradigm shift in our nation. As mobs and criminals exploited justified outrage over the homicide of George Floyd to loot and riot – the left defended them.

I watched and listening to all of this and felt helpless. I used to be disgusted when the neighborhoods of harmless Individuals had been destroyed. However anybody who objected to this outpouring of anger was labeled a racist.

Recall Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez in July 2020 blaming spiking New York Metropolis crime on financial desperation.

‘They should feed their youngster they usually don’t have cash, so that they really feel like they both must shoplift some bread or go hungry,’ she stated in a digital city corridor.

After all, shoplifting doesn’t clarify a reported 130% spike in shootings yr over yr. However that didn’t matter to AOC.

‘Do we predict this has to do with the truth that there’s file unemployment in america proper now?’ she stated.

Arguably, the most troubling reaction of all came from Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson. He makes clear that nothing is going to change in the Windy City.

'Here's the thing,' outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (pictured) told reporters on Monday, long after the full picture of the chaos was clear. 'The vast majority of the young people that came downtown came downtown because it was great weather and an opportunity to enjoy the city… I'm not going to use your language, which I think is wrong, to say that it was mayhem.'

Properly, Alexandra, how do you rationalize crime as we speak? Unemployment is at its lowest charges in American historical past. I’m certain she’ll discover one other excuse, as a result of these far-left lunatics capitalize on the destruction.

To them, crime isn’t the results of lawlessness. It’s the results of social ills. After they blame shootings on unemployment they skirt the blame, they let themselves off the hook.

The irony is misplaced on nobody that Chicago has been dominated by Democrats for many years, but it solely continues to circle the drain. Possibly they’re responsible?

Now, practically three years after the BLM Summer time of 2020, our society has deteriorated even additional. Possibly most sickeningly of all, the folks that Lori Lightfoot, Brandon Johnson and AOC declare to symbolize are bearing the brunt of it.

Sadly, it’s not simply Chicago. It’s Los Angeles, it’s New York Metropolis, it’s Washington D.C., it’s Detroit, it’s St. Louis, it’s Baltimore… When will these inconsiderate politicians and the voters who put them in workplace be taught? At this fee, perhaps by no means.

And whereas I’ll maintain on to metropolis residing for so long as I can, I can’t put my household in danger. If Washington, D.C. continues getting worse – the McCain’s will depart.

We will probably be okay. However the place will that depart our fellow Washingtonians? Some can’t flee the chaos.

As individuals like me escape, the decline of cities will solely speed up.

So, will I settle for residing in worry?

The reply is ‘no’.

However I’m one of many fortunate ones.
