We know what over-criminalization does to vulnerable communities. That tired approach has not lead to safer cities. We are going to continue doing what works: providing more opportunities for our young people, while holding them accountable when they act outside the confines of the law.

Vulnerable community my dick. Mayor Johnson must be pretending he’s watching a cartoon when he’s shown a video of 100’s of ppl taking over streets, destroying property, distributing the peace, stealing, fighting, looting & shooting at one another.

Far better to let pookies beat up pregnant women so they lose their babies. You're an embarrassment to the city.

Yeah the same thing as committing too much crime. Nothing is more fair than criminalizing crimes.

"Over-criminaiization"? Just say "enforcing the law is something I do not support". At least you'd be clearer.

This guy had no problem over criminalizing the person who burned a cross (until they learned he was a liberal trump hater)

Have you people considered committing less crime to see how that works out for you? It seems to work for the rest of civilization. It's 2026. It's time.

Bill Dowhen3 months ago

LOL this is comedy at its best. A community isn’t vulnerable because it commits crime at an alarming rate. A true community doesn’t commit crimes against its own and others. They are only vulnerable to being arrested and imprisoned as punishment. At least they would be if we didn’t have racist Communists such as you trying to balance the books on the backs of what could be a real community…and what used to be one.

We definitely need new thinking. The kids seem more lost than criminal. They’ve been abandoned by most of the adults in their lives, particularly the boys, who rarely live with their fathers. Every child has a right to a loving father.

The people doing takeovers will never use government funded “safe spaces” are you genuinely that stupid? They block off intersections and drift and hit each other with cars and point guns at each other. They’re not waiting for the art museum to cater to them, they want nothing to do with it.

When will Alex Kazanowski’s killers be caught? The city is unsafe with murderers running around loose. It’s not about the color of the person it’s about the crime they commit. Murder isn’t a crime?

Reckless large gatherings aren't going to go away if we just snap our fingers. Yes, we have to hold people accountable when they break the law, but it's essential that we create more opportunities for our young people. The communities where my administration has created the most summer job opportunities for young people are where violent crime has dropped the most in Chicago.

The era of over-incarceration did not lead to fewer homicides in Chicago. Investing in our communities and providing young people more opportunities is coinciding with a big drop in violent crime. We are not going back. FOX 32 News Paris Schutz

This summer, we hired over 32,000 young people—a record—through Chicago Youth Works, to get paid, gain financial literacy, and learn about participating in the workforce this summer. We want to expand Chicago Youth Works to be a year round program because we know when our young people are given the opportunity to work hard, there is a direct correlation to safer, more vibrant communities.

Interviewer: People are saying you’re inciting young people to come out and da! for thier vote, what did you mean by that PO: What I did in Port Harcourt was more about listening to the people. I was not doing the talking. One of them said, 'This time, we are ready to da! for our votes.' To encourage them, I said I was ready to da! with them. What we are saying is that we are prepared to ensure that our votes count - and they must count. - Peter Obi, NDC

Ten years ago today we launched the My Brother's Keeper Alliance to build safe communities and expand opportunities for boys and young men of color. I'm so proud of the work that more than 100 MBK communities across the country are doing, and can’t wait to see what they accomplish over the next decade.

I am calling on all parents, community leaders, and business leaders to stand together and create more safe opportunities for our young people. And if they step outside the bounds of our expectations with regards to dangerous or reckless behavior, that we also hold them accountable.

Republican strategist: People are bored by Trump. They are bored with all of the drama. They are tired of the insults. They are tired of the lies about the election. They want to know what somebody is going to do for them. They are interested in a new pitch. That's what Kamala Harris has for them

Sophie Njehia: What we know is who we are not going to vote for, we know we are not going to give anybody in this current system our vote. We know they are going home. What we know is there are certain people who voted yes to draconian bills and a bad finance bill, they are going home. We are not going to concentrate on the presidential vote, there are other 5 seats that are very important in delivering services to Kenyans #CitizenSundayLive

In order for our Nation to survive another 250 years, we must hold accountable those who abused their power and worked to subvert our institutions from within. If people in our government abused their authority or broke the law (and we now know they did), we must hold them accountable. I don't care what agency they worked for, what title they held, or who they know. No one is above the law!

ICE is not in Danbury and other Connecticut cities to protect people. They are here to besiege our communities. To create chaos and act lawlessly. If they aren’t going to obey the law, they need to leave.

[WATCH] ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION What people don’t understand when they argue that the ANC promotes illegal immigration and is for illegal immigration, what they deliberately misunderstand is that we are firm on the law. The law must take its course and the state alone must enforce laws, because it’s got the responsibility to do that. We have not opposed people who have publicly protested the issue of illegal immigration but have called for those protests to occur within the confines of the law. No citizen of our country must take the law unto their own hands, chase people, show hatred and call people “amakwerekwere”. That is not ubuntu, that is not South African. These are Africans, and they might have landed in our country illegally and we believe that lawfully as we are seeing our government at this moment, they must be assisted to go back home peacefully. We must protect our borders as BMA is doing because they are too porous. Let us not make it possible for illegal immigration to flourish in our country. #RegisterToVoteANC #LGE2026
