ANALYSIS โ Is your city next? Democrat-run Chicago isn't just a murder capital; it also has a car theft epidemic. It hadย more than 21,500ย vehicle thefts last year, which includes violent carjackings.
That is 55% more car thefts than last 2021.
Most of these crimes are committed by teens and gang members.
A recent โTeen Takeoverโ created violence and chaos as hundreds of teensย mobbed Chicago streets and clashed with the police.
Meanwhile, Chicago's far-left politicians and prosecutors continue to enable the young criminals. (RELATED: New Chicago Mayor Preaches Tolerance For Criminals After Violent Rampage)
And now it seems the Chicago Police Department is gun shy about charging juvenile delinquents with murder.
Last week, two teenage boys stole a Hyundai car and crashed it into another vehicle, a Ford pickup truck, killing a six-month-old babyย and seriously injuring hisย 34-year-oldย mother and her seven and fifteen-year-old daughters.
Both vehicles were demolished. The baby, Cristian Uvidia, died in the hospital from damage to his skull.
โHe suffered from an impact that fractured his skull, causing his brain to swell and eventually killing him,โ Annelisse Rivera wrote on a GoFundMe page created for the family.ย โWe are devastated, and we are broken. We will miss his sweet smile, as he was a joy to everyone that he met.โ
The New York Postย reportsย that the juvenile criminals, ages 17 and 14, were each charged with just one misdemeanor count of โcriminal trespassingโ in the deadly April 16 crash in the city's West Garfield Park neighborhood.
That's an outrage.
Chicago police are saying that additional chargesย โcould be upgradedโย when the investigation is complete. But why haven't they already charged the driver with murder, or at least vehicular manslaughter?
Everyone involved in this horrible crime where a baby was killed was immediately placed at the scene of the crash.ย How much investigation is needed?
As Hot Airย notes:
Criminal Trespass to a Vehicle isย a Class A Misdemeanorย in Chicago. That carries a penalty of a fine of no more than $2,500 and less than a year in jail. Of course, since the gangbangers in this incident are all under 18, the charges will probably be kicked to the juvenile court, where they likely won't even be sent to a day behind bars.
Jazz Shaw in Hot Air adds:
Also, what about the other two boys in the car? There are not yet any charges filed against them. I doubt they somehow wound up in the stolen car โaccidentally.โ It's a safe bet that if those four haven't already been indoctrinated into one of Chicago's gangs, they had a gang contact waiting to buy the car from them if they managed to get away. And you can bet that the city's gangbangers are watching this case closely and with approval.
Rivera, the injured mother who just lost her baby to these criminal punks, reportedly said the lack of serious charges was โdisheartening.โ
Chicagoans should be demanding that Kim Foxx, theย Soros-fundedย State's Attorney get involved, or at least say something. What about incoming Mayor Brandon Johnson? (RELATED: MAGA Congressman Introduces Bill To Defund Soros-Backed Prosecutor)
Have Chicago's residents become so inured to their city's crime and the government's response that they don't care anymore?
Hopefully not. But without public outrage and political accountability, these soft-on-crime Democrat politicians will only ensure criminals will continue their murderous rampage across Chicago.
And your city may be next.

Public outrage? Oh heck, they are free to vote for whomever they want to ruin their lives. The people have spoken. Democracy is not in danger in Chicago. Itโs the blueprint for American freedom.
Incoming mayor Johnson will probably tell us not to demonize the poor, underprivileged young criminals. After all, the mom can always have another baby.
I could actually see that, these godless fools are becoming more EVIL every day!
Dan Spilman: What does being “godless” have to do with this? Are you trying to imply that these low-life teens killed the baby because the lacked a belief in God?
What the author fails to realize (or share with the reader if he does know), is that the placing of felony charges by the police in Chicago/Cook County must be approved by the “woke” Cook County State’s Attorney, Kim Foxx. Time and time again she has refused to allow felony charges in cases just like this. This situation is a travesty but place the blame where it belongs.
Yes directly on Geo. Soreass!
She’s worse. Much worse! She has betrayed her oath of office, the public that elected her and any moral compass she may have ever had to fuel her political ambitions. Soros is a facilitator.
One bright spot is that she is not going to run for another term. The downside is that we don’t know what she move on to do next.
If you’re old enough to steal a car and kill people with it you’re old enough to be punished for your actions. They should all go to prison.
gdblake: “They should all go to prison”?
Keeping these savages in prison costs the taxpayers at least $20,000.00 per year.
They took a life; they should lose theirs.
Is this new Mayor of sickago another soreass plant? The GLOBS WANT Amerika destroyed you know! They are not going to do anything to stop a city from becoming uninhabitable. They are pushing for and preparing for a civil war are we????
If the people of Chicago don’t take matters into their own hands; one of Americas greatest old cities will revert to chaotic anarchy and require a declaration of Marshal Law controlled by Federalized troops that will have no problem killing Americans. That will just be the beginning of the end of our Representative Republic and our conversion to Marxism.
Disgraceful! Lock those little a$$holes up and throw away the key! How long are the citizens of Chicago going to put up with this crap from DemocRAT mayors and DAs?
This information sounds like a law suit against the car manufacturer for making a product that can kill. It is certainly not the fault of the criminal!?
Well, Chicago voters put themselves into their position by voting for trash so it’s their problem. As far as I’m concerned it can continue to rot.
