[@jasonstemley1232]

@@JayJay-he9bk It isn't, it's all BS. Listen to the BS the Alderman said regarding building prisons instead of thinking of taking care of the youth. The last prisons built in Chicago was in 1975. The last jail built in Cook Co was built in 1979. The last jail built in Illinois period was in 1989 in Lake Co. Last I checked even if you were born in that year you still ain't no child, its probably their children! So WTF is she talking about? The mayor BJ, D.A. Kim Fox AND the Governor Pritzker all the extreme lefts can go to hell.
