Losing Our Minds    

   A senior research director at a Chicago crime lab said,
 

"I don't even know how to put it into context.

It's beyond anything that we've ever seen before."

   On May 31, 85 people in Chicago suffered gunshot wounds. The mayor said the city's 911 service received more than 65,000 calls, including 10,000 for looting. An average day would have about 15,000 calls.

   The president and owner of a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis said,

"They don't care about my business. 

They didn't protect our people.

We were all on our own." 

   He said he will rebuild somewhere other than Minneapolis - which may cost the city 50 jobs. The Minneapolis paper reported that riots have damaged nearly 1,000 commercial properties in the city.

   Meanwhile, Portland, Oregon continues its mayhem night after night. Politicians in certain cities obviously depend on these actors and their sponsors for power. 

   The Portland mayor wants federal agents protecting a federal building to leave. He obviously doesn't want to offend whoever is behind all this. Ordering police to stand down while the city burns? What is going on??? 

   Misbehavior by a few cops doesn't excuse this insanity.
