Eight dead on Labor Day weekend. The mayor filmed four more years.

Summary

  • Breitbart reports Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, 50, told the New York Times on Sunday he will seek a second term and will double down on his progressive agenda. He posted a four-more-years video the same day.
  • Over Labor Day weekend, 38 people were shot in Chicago and eight died. The last weekend of August recorded 40 shot and two dead.
  • For the 12 months before September 4, ABC7's Neighborhood Safety Tracker counted 435 homicides. The city averaged eight homicides a week, down from ten in 2019. Chicago still leads the country in total bodies even when some smaller cities post higher rates.
  • Johnson issued an ICE On Notice order directing Chicago police to investigate federal immigration agents. City records show he spent nearly $640 million over two years on illegal-alien care instead of the public schools. The nonpartisan election is February 2027.

Commentary

A South Side dad still hears a siren bounce off brick and knows a weekend is supposed to be a grill, not a body count. He did not pay the levy so a campaign office could film four more years over 38 gunshot files.

Labor Day: 38 shot, eight dead. August's last weekend: 40 shot. $640 million for illegal-alien care. The honest household already paid the school. The vinyl waiting chair at the ER still sticks.

Look every working father who still walks a kid past a boarded lot in the eye and answer this: if the mayor can investigate ICE and still ask for four more years, who still owns the next Saturday night on that block?

Comments

If Labor Day already took eight, why is the campaign filming four more years?

38 shot. Eight dead. $640 million. Keep that order.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a line so a city still meant a street you could walk. A slogan is not a patrol.

u/rule_first · 4h

435 homicides. ICE On Notice. February 2027. Print the three.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied cities still treat a weekend body file as a mayor's job, not a video.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Giannoulias. Quigley. Mendoza. Challengers are already on the docket.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next weekend quieter than a campaign clip.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A four-more-years reel over eight funerals is not leadership. It is a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A sanctuary order against ICE is a second border around a homicide desk. The first statute should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

Breitbart printed Labor Day, 435, and the $640 million. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

End the ICE hunt. Put the cash on the schools. A campaign video is not a body count.
