I see this working. First 9 am to 9 pm, then you move it from 10 am to 10 pm, then 11am to 11 pm until you only give the criminals a one hour span to fire the guns. This is genius idea. Who would've thunk it. Freaking morons. But, hey they vote for the nonsense.They got rid of a really bad mayor (lori lighthead) and replaced her with an excruciatingly abysmal mayor. This guy's approach to law and order seems to be "we're going to love them into a better way of acting."
He joins an entrenched political machine filled with equally incompetent, hardcore unemployable grifters. For example..........

An increase in shootings due to a supposed gang war in Chicago has led community leaders to propose a radical new solution to violent crime.
In a proposal called “The People’s Ordinance,” community group Native Sons asks that city gangsters refrain from firing guns at one another between daylight hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
“We have to start somewhere,” co-founder of Native Sons Tatiana Atkins told CWB Chicago. “Our goal is to approach our city’s gun violence problem strategically and not all at once. Things didn’t become this way overnight, and change won’t happen overnight."
The ordinance was promoted via email by Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who identifies herself on her website as the first "Black, queer woman" to serve on the Chicago City Council. A flyer on the ordinance instructs gangsters to “protect the youth no sliding while the sun is out.” Featured on the flyer is a fence painted with the world “Don’t shoot! I want to grow up.”
Atkins said the purpose of the ordinance is to prevent glorifying the criminal lifestyle.
“Under this ordinance, we ask that people stop associating with and glorifying’ shooters,’ stop glorifying ‘switches,’ and stop wearing those ski masks everywhere which perpetuates you as some ‘opp,'” Atkins said. “When those who live a certain lifestyle try to hang with ‘regular’ class citizens, they put everyone at risk.”
City leadership has repeatedly failed to quell crime in Chicago. In August, Mayor Brandon Johnson downplayed the looting of a 7-Eleven store by 40 teenagers, saying “we are not talking about mob actions.” He also likened such actions to “silly decisions.”
A February report showed that Chicago led the nation in homicides in 2022, ahead of Philadelphia, New York City, Houston and Los Angeles.
