Kudos to Mayor Motley
Waukegan Mayor Wayne Motley had the guts to hire a diversity consultant. I think he’s going in the right direction. It’s not right to dupe people and not have repercussions. The last time I was in City Hall I had trouble finding African-American workers. Someone should tell them every day that we need more people of color in the different departments. I hope things will get on the right track. The mayor is making an effort, and I applaud him for it.
Don’t shoot unarmed suspects
The shooting in Chicago of Paul O’Neal was a great example of police not following the law. They shot this kid while he was running. They shot so inappropriately that they almost hit another officer. The kid had no gun. The same thing recently happened in Zion. This wasn’t even a stolen car. A guy was driving, and it went into a high-speed chase. The guy turned around, and the police shot him in the chest. Luckily, the guy didn’t die. Why are we doing this in Lake County? The policeman is still working and wasn’t fired.
Disturbed by Democrats
I don’t understand why people in this country continue to support the Democrat liberal progressives. … The liberals think that good intentions are the only things that matter. I’m here to tell you: good intentions don’t mean anything. Results are what count. People need to stop voting for Democrats and vote for Republicans.
Free speech for all
I have listened to Donald Trump for over a year and he insults everyone who criticizes him in any way. Trump says he was viciously attacked, but it is usually more like a harsh criticism. Engage your brain and shut your mouth. You have exercised your right to free speech. Others are entitled to use their right to free speech as well.
