Gunman Caught On Video Carjacking Driver On Expressway Near Downtown Chicago
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has lost control of the city. While America’s worst mayor posts cringe TkTok videos, crime is rampant in that great American city. The latest disgrace was a carjacking on a major highway in the heart of the city.
A commuter captured the video of the crime that went viral on social media. In the video below you can see three people run out of a car after an accident. They walk on the highway looking for an escape when one wearing a black ski mask and toting a large weapon tries to carjack passing vehicles.
The carjacker seems to offer a fistful of cash to the man who’s recording the video in exchange for a ride. The commuter turns him down and moments after the armed thug executes his carjacking and drives off.
But it gets worse for Lightfoot. According to ABC, at least 31 people were shot, eight fatally, in Chicago over the weekend. ABC reported:
A 13-year-old boy was shot and killed at a North Side park playground on Friday night, Chicago officials said.
