If only Chicago spent this much energy investigating the murdering racist cops who kill unharmed black people.

Maybe, we will with our new Mayor.

IA, and I really cannot stand hearing Rahm speak about this

Yeah, even though I think Jussie is guilty of making this whole thing up, I really could not give a shit because there are worse things happening in Chicago in the grand scheme of things. Too much time and energy is being spent on this case and it's not fun like the Lori Loughlin college cheating scandal. I can at least laugh at that one, but not here.

What? I just looked it up and had to search to find information about it. When I typed in Chicago serial killer, the first thing that popped up was some guy who had a duck walk and killed two men in 2018. Haven't seen anything about this on national news, but not shocked since the murder of black women usually doesn't get anywhere near the same attention as others. Same thing as when we go missing.

Exactly.
