A Wild West shootout terrorizes Austin in broad daylight and not one suspect is charged?

Aldermen are furious, as well they should be. One person was killed. Two were wounded. More than 70 shell casings were found.

"Many aldermen are furious over the handling of a brazen gunfight in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on Friday in which the suspects walked away without a single criminal charge being filed.

We entirely understand. In a city where authorities should be doing everything to quell a surge in violence, there’s a shoot-out like at the OK Corral, an entire block is endangered and several obvious suspects are detained.

And then nothing.

This was a shocking incident, even in a city that seems increasingly inured to daily violence, caught on video and described by one source as “just like the Wild West.” More than 70 shell casings were found, and many more shots likely were fired. Police apparently arrived in time to witness at least part of the shootout.

Who can blame anybody for asking: “If charges can’t be filed in a case like this, when can they?”

Who can blame anybody for thinking that the handling of this case will embolden thugs to shoot and kill with even greater abandon?"

Isn't that the city where they don't prosecute shoplifting?

Just another day in DemocratVille.

You shouldn't be. It's full of hyperboles and exaggerations.

I assume this is the report they were referring to?

How can they not realize that will lead to more people developing a criminal lifestyle?

Why is it a nice try? I was asking if it's the same event.

I just looked again. OOPs. That one was in Texas, not Chicago.

I'll look for the original report.

"A police report reportedly stated Foxx’s office cited “mutual combatants” as a reason not to press charges."

ANY ALTERCATION INVOLVING TWO OR MORE FOLKS CONSTITUTES ... “mutual combatants” .

WOW ... chickago ... a place to live, grow and love in ...

Chicago violence: Kim Foxx calls Mayor Lightfoot comments on shooting case 'inappropriate, wrong'

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx called statements made by Mayor Lori Lightfoot about the handling of a deadly shooting case "inappropriate" and "wrong."

Foxx said that as a prosecutor, she does not try cases in the media.

"If they do not feel like the criminal justice system is going to hold them accountable, we're going to see a level of brazenness that will send the city into chaos and we cannot let that happen," the mayor said Monday.

Foxx said there was not enough evidence to support felony charges, and police said the people arrested refused to tell them anything. But Lightfoot, herself a former prosecutor, believes there's evidence to make a case.
