Today in "Lori Lightfoot's liberal utopia" news...
As if we needed any further proof that Mayor Lori Lightfoot is grossly incompetent and has completely lost control of her city, a 73 year old Vietnam War veteran in Chicago passed away due to a heart attack after an attempted carjacking that left him beaten in broad daylight.
Keith Cooper, who served his country honorably during two Vietnam War combat tours, was pronounced dead on Wednesday this week after being "repeatedly punched in the head" after two carjackers demanded he turn over the keys to his car while he was out running errands.
"[The suspects] tried to steal his car. You didn’t even get his car when you took his life. It was two guys preying on a senior citizen," the victim's son-in-law told Fox News. "He was like a bonus dad. He was my father-in-law, but he was like a dad. He was the best. Keith was the best."
Witnesses attempted to stop the attack, the report says. His daughter, Kenika Carlton, said: "I’m just in shock. I’m still in shock because this is not the way I thought my day was going to go."
He died days before his 74th birthday, the report notes. Two suspects have been detained for questioning.
2020 saw a 135% spike in carjackings in Chicago compared to 2019. 2021 has seen one 24 hour span where "at least five" carjackings took place, the report notes.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office did not immediately return a request for comment from Fox News. Big surprise.
Recall, just days ago Lightfoot was begging President Biden for help running her city. Meanwhile, when President Trump offered to "send in the Feds" to Chicago during his term, she declined. “I’ve made no secret of the fact that I think this is a matter of incredible urgency," Lightfoot said about asking for help.
But we think this Tweet says it best:
Quoth the Raven @QTRResearch
Just resign if you can’t do your job

I did cosmetics deliveries for this woman in the old neighborhood in Chicago back in late 70s in my Blazer.
She had this purple fluid that would take kinks out of black's hair. I would deliver it by the gallon to beauty shops on south side. She told me, "Don't take any checks from those people." So I collected CASH. By the time I had finished I had $500 to $800 on me. I ALWAYS carried a pistol and I stayed off the side streets.
But one time I was making a right turn at 95th and Stony Island on SE side. There was a KABOOM off to my left. I floored it and got out of there. I looked at driver door later and there were little dings on it like maybe they shot a .410 at me. Some of those people just do not like whites.
She was in my Mom and Dad's age group so is likely dead for some time.
I also heard her son got married. He didn't want to live there so he sold the house. The guy who bought it had it torn down. You can bet your bottom dollar she is spinning in her grave. ;)
