Police Boss Garry McCarthy Loses Daughter to Chinese Fentanyl and Mexican Drug Gangs
By John Kass | July 16, 2023
Former Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy—now the police chief of suburban Willow Springs–is one tough man, a cop’s cop, relentless, hard shoes shined, looking for lawbreakers the way a natural born linebacker searches for ball carriers, relentlessly. A true crime fighter.
But even the strongest among us are weak for our children.
And a year ago last May, his daughter Kyla McCarthy joined the ranks of more than 100,000 young Americans murdered by the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
It is the deadly poison made by the Communist government of China and shipped easily here to our hemisphere, to our wide-open border with Mexico.
And it is all put together by the vicious Mexican drug cartels to kill our children. The Biden Administration tells us the border is secure, but they know that’s a lie and parents know it.
This is not just a cop story. It is a father’s story. An American’s story.
“It’s a story that you’ve heard 100 times,” said McCarthy on the Chicago Way podcast that I co-host with WGN AM executive producer Jeff Carlin. I’m including a link here so you might read this and listen to his words.
“She was a four-sport athlete in high school, a natural athlete who didn’t really work at it She once turned an unassisted triple play in high school softball and then led off the next inning and hit a triple off the fence. She gets to third base and everybody’s going crazy and she looks at me in the stands, then looks at her (finger) nails. She says, ‘How long is this game gonna be? I want to go get my nails done.’ And I was ready to jump out of the stands because, you know, I was the classic overachiever. I was an athlete, but I didn’t have her skills, I had to work hard to do it.
“So, she gets into a car accident when she was a junior in high school. Her ankle got pulverized on the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey. The short story is they loaded her up with Oxycontin. And she suffered through 18 years of addiction.”
It was last May 29 he was having lunch when his ex-wife (Kyla’s mother) called. She was worried because she couldn’t reach her daughter and they speak almost every day.
He called a friend, a police boss in the Bronx who sent out a couple of detectives.
“They got into her apartment and they overdosed from fentanyl. Her and her boyfriend…you send people to prison and they become better criminals. And it’s pretty much the same thing with rehab. Sometimes you send people to rehab and they hook up with other people who have the same problems, and they just keep doing the same things and this is the result. I’ve had a lot of tragedy in my life, trust me. But this one takes the cake. May 29th. And the guilt is overwhelming.”
“You know what really pisses me off is the fact that this year in this country there were 110,000 overdoses. And just to be clear in our 10 year active war in Vietnam, we lost 58,000 Americans, and here we are last year the number as 110,000. And the vast majority is fentanyl and we don’t control our borders, it’s killing our kids.
“The precursors come from China to Mexico, right?, they get put together by the cartels and the pain is distributed in this country across the southern border. And nobody is doing anything about it. So I’m, I’m angry about it and I wanna do something about it, but at this point, you know, it’s it’s overwhelming and there’s not a lot that I could do certainly. Except try and make sure that my my other daughter and and my son don’t fall into the same trap.”
In many 12-step addiction programs the key is recognizing the problem. We know what the problem is:
China sends poison to the borders and the government of the United States has given up control of the borders to the narco-traffickers. The news media ignores the issue lest the news reflect poorly on President Joe Biden, who was to have been in charge of the borders. But he has lost all control.
Is this a function of Biden on the payroll of the China Communist Party? Or a host of other reasons including China’s brazen insolence in sending over the spy balloons and we did nothing for days as the surveillance balloons collected data. They are still collecting data. China and the Mexican drug cartels have killed more than 100,000 young Americans and we do nothing. The data they collect involves our will to live.
“We’ve had Chinese drugs coming into this country and killing people. What is the point of a narcotic that kills people? And they think they’re getting high. They disguise it as other things. It’s really clear to me that this is a major attack on the United States. They’re killing our children. The drugs are disguised as gummies. They disguised them as Sweet Tarts and all these various things to sneak them into the country and and people are dying and that and you know it’s all over the news but yet nobody seems to wanna take the bull by the horns and stand up and say OK this is an attack on the United States.”
“The politics of it, we are weak right now. We are weak to the world. I hate to say it, but this administration is.”
Why do we put up with it? What we call the “news media” is definitely opposed to former President Donald Trump retaking the White House in 2024. They loathe Trump and they loathe his supporters and seek to extract psychic revenge upon them, even to the point of cheering Joe Biden when he and his followers portray them as fascists.
But from what we’ve seen from the Southern border, we turn our throats to our enemy and give that enemy the most effective way to slip in the knife, as if we’re suicidal sheep.
Garry Mccarthy and daughter Kyla celebrating happier times.
“The politics of it, we are weak right now. We are weak to the world. I hate to say it, but this administration is.”
We talked about many things. We talked of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx who does not like prosecuting criminals and putting repeat violent offenders in prison lest they attack others. We talked of the difference of the Sen. Joe Biden who was once tough on crime and the President Joe Biden of today, who sits back and lets billionaire Marxist George Soros select his see-no-evil rogue prosecutors. We talked of famous Chicago police cases that led to the mayor’s office dropping police foot chases of criminals.
Kyla McCarthy insists on fixing her dad’s eyebrows.
But we also talked about Kyla, and how he’s dealing with that hole in his heart. I asked him to consider writing about it, about her, about what happened if only to remind us again of what we seem to want to ignore:
That China and the Mexican Drug Cartels that control the Southwestern border have killed 100,000 young Americans. They’re slaughtering our young people, terrorizing law enforcement. This is an act of war and aggression. Hiding from that fact might soothe partisan politics, take editors off the hook, but it won’t deal with the issue.
Hiding from the issue won’t solve it. And only more young Americans will be poisoned.
“Writing about it might be cathartic for me,” McCarthy said. “I hope so.”

Sue,
Perfect.
Reading this and thinking of my child and grandchildren. Cannot imagine what McCarthy is going through right now.
Sue, you perfectly captured the sentiment of every proud parent who read this column.
Beautifully said
Good morning John.
Pray that you are healthy and doing well. Fentanyl is everywhere in our Streets, and Washington does not seem to care since the White House is involved in drugs and cocaine.
The older I get the more realize there is not much we can do, the Country is becoming a Third World Country, Obama said that he would do just that, and he won twice while they call everyone a Racist, and his wife hates America. The truth will be exposed when Christ comes, and I will not watch TV or read the news anymore it is all about hatred, and destroying America. The United States was built by Immigrants that came to America for the American Dream and worked hard to become one Country. Now, they want us to feel guilty, and the kinds of Obama and Jesse Jackson tell us that their people deserve America and Reparations. Europeans came and built and work 24/7 to have what we have, no one gave it to us, we became Citizens, and love America, and never thought that it would be Italy, Greece, Germany, Ireland, England or anything but the US. Now they want to call it part of Africa without respect or work for what the Immigrants built. Shameful that the American people do not seem to care, and Vote these same people into office, and sometimes I do wonder about the legal Votes. I remember the old Mayor Daly and the 1960 Election and how dead bodies Voted, and the old Senator Douglas with shoe boxes full of cash. We have lost our minds and our Countries, we all want free stuff, and the Rich get richer and these poor people on the South Side are still being kept barefoot and pregnant as they say just for Votes. I saw the movie the Sound of Freedom and I recommend it to all. That is what is happening. The Devil is in charge, they worry about Global warming not realizing God is in charge of the Moon and the Sun and our lives. As for me, I will turn to Christ and God for direction and love, and smile, and be kind to all as he commended us and move on. We are all brothers in Christ we should help all people in need, COLOR HAS NO PLACE IN GOD’s EYES. AMERICA YOUR HAY DAYS ARE GONE YOU ALL ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND PRAY TO GOD AND JESUS CHRIST FOR SALVATION. BUT OF COARSE WE ARE RACIST IF WE ARE CHRISTIANS THEY TELL US NOW. DO NOT WATCH LOCAL NEWS OR ANYTHING WITH THE IDIOTS IN THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS ALL ABOUT GREED.
Let’s not forget the role of Big Pharma in this story and thousands of other tragic stories annually. These tales of woe always start with a legal prescription, then when the prescription runs out and the patient is hooked, they progress to street drugs.
Thank you, Helen.
Our hope, our salvation, is not from the corrupt, sin-filled government, the government that is controlled by the destroyer of families, the murderer and hater of our souls.
Our hope is in Christ alone.
Helen,
My wife and I also viewed “The Sound of Freedom” this past Friday. I was stunned the theatre (in North Aurora) was absolutely packed People in this country are hungry for the truth, and this movie exposes some of it. Tell your neighbors, friends, and strangers you strike up conversations with to go see this movie. Only the speading of the truth of Christ can save our country, and if we Christians insist on spreading it, the truth of Christ and the Bible may still save our country. May God so Bless us again!
Tom
Still angry that America DARE elect a black man as President-8 years ago. Just can’t let it go, huh Helen?? Toss in some unhinged election conspiracy and Christian Nationalism. Don’t ever change. (:
Got tunnel vision,Tony?
Garry McCarthy has always been a hero in my book. An honest and dedicated law and order guy, who has always understood that the entire point of it all is to protect the innocent. His loss is truly heartbreaking, especially in that it came from something he’s fought long and hard against during his career. The inner strength he has is exemplary.
The really sad part of all this is Joe Biden is completely oblivious of what’s happening on the Southern boarder. His handlers care even less.
Joe Biden is completely oblivious to what is 10 feet in front of him, nonetheless the southern border. As much as Joe is to blame for this, too many voted for him and continue to support his whacked out agenda by voting in more of his kind. These same idiots promote Gavin Newsom as a replacement for Kamala so when Joe ceases to be he can take over. YIKES !!!
I truly believe they are out to destroy us… it’s a global initiative and sadly it’s happening :(. Who knows if 2024 election will be even fairly fair. My heart breaks for parents of these unfortunate kids. And for that gomer in the Whitehouse to be totally oblivious is UNFORGIVABLE!!!
My heart breaks for you Mr. McCarthy and we are sending hugs and love to you and yours. These words are just that, words. Actions as such would be much more showing as to our feelings, but words will have to suffice.
Losing a child, no matter the age, is unbearable. I lost a child at 33 years of age with a future of unlimited abilities within his grasp. He is my angel in heaven as Kyla is yours. God bless you.
This failing administration is giving China a chance to kill our young people with unsecured borders and you reach up to scratch your head, WHY? Yes, China’s goal is to kill as many young people as possible as they will not be able to hold a weapon when the time comes of China’s invasion or war with the USA. This death by fentanyl is produced by the Big Guy who is enriching his family with $$millions$$ being received from Xi and the CCP.
I am not sorry for reaching into this political bag of junk at this time as it remains a constant reminder for all who have NO idea what in the heck is happening. God bless you John Kass for this column and thank you Mr. McCarthy for illustrating the sadness you have in these times. Perhaps these moments will shine a light of truth and facts, as they should, to the people who dither and have no desire to hear or read the truth that is killing our children.
With hugs and love to you Mr. McCarthy….God bless.

In an average year there are 40,000 deaths due to gun shootings in America which is less than one half the number of deaths due to fentanyl and opioids. Where are the virtuous ones who oppose the second amendment but say nothing about our open borders and the flow of these drugs into the United States?
In Chicago, both Pritzker and Lightfoot seized every opportunity presented to them by an act of gun violence to grandstand their politics on behalf of the victims but never did you see them grandstanding against the reason for the much greater number of fentanyl deaths both here in Illinois or around the country.
To do so would mean pointing their fingers at themselves.
An excellent comparison, Dennis. Gun violence is the low hanging fruit of social problems, hence the very visible hand wringing.
Fentanyl distribution operates in the shadows. Out of sight, out of mind.

Garry was a solid leader. He wanted professionalism from his men s d women. No nonsense. My heart broke reading of his loss. He did not deserve that just as the parents of the other kids lost do not. Prayers to you and your family. RIP Kyla.
And now Garry, we join you in the loss of your daughter. Can’t imagine what these addictions are like. Blame goes around but ends with the victim, sadly. Current POTUS Pod serving is a warning to not fall asleep without someone to keep Demoncrats from placing Pods nearby to replace our individual minds. Can only hope Kyla was a believer in a Risen Jesus. Hope you are too my friend, this life is short for everyone, eternity is not. Attending church at home today. VCOB.org. 9am.
What a tragedy. If only we had some true leaders right now instead of party hacks like Joe, Johnson and gov maximus. Is it because we got the government we deserved? Or because so many swallowed the leftist BS promulgated by the media? Either way, we’re screwed unless we can elect a real leader sooner than later!!
Biden is worse than Trump as he says and signs whatever they put in front of him. Trump didn’t run much of the government, Biden runs NONE of it. Trump asked too many questions, went off script and pushed back subtly on the deep state and they crucified him for it. Neither man is fit for office.
That being said, both parties are corrupt and neither will stop the fentanyl trade until we, the people pressure them to do it. We need to transcend this media created left/right, outrage, grievance politics and come together on true decency, public safety, clean air, water, access to healthy food, jobs, energy, an end to endless wars.
Someone is making money off of the fentanyl trade. CIA? FBI? Which shipping oligarchs benefit as well? Someone is making money off of the sex trafficking, drugs, guns, off the books labor.
It’s bigger than “remaking the country” so they’ll vote Democrat, but I wont throw that idea out either, I wouldn’t put anything past them. Illegal immigrant labor is de facto slavery condoned by the US government.
Too many benefit from status quo, including Republicans, despite whatever rhetoric they spout.
It’s time for all these bums to go.
I’m so sorry Garry lost his daughter. He seems like a decent fellow, professional, and willing to adapt his thinking given factual data. He likely would have made a good Mayor for the City of Chicago.
I believe it was said on the podcast that Fentanyl took out more people in one year than we lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War.
The media carries water for the corporations and the oligarchs.
The deep state does far more harm than good.
Our government commits murder overseas n a daily basis.
Our infrastructure is crumbling while we backstop Ukraine in a silly proxy war.
We push electric cars and green tech while we have no raw materials to make them, nor do we manufacture them here.
Our workers have been betrayed by both parties as the middle class has been hollowed out.
Pat Buchanan warned us about this, he was right.
When will enough be enough?
The heartbreak of losing a child is devastating. Chinese fentanyl filtered through Mexico, and other illegal drugs, have been overflowing in this country for years. But the war on drugs keeps getting pushed aside. We are losing a Generation to these illegal drugs. I am sorry for your loss, you and your Family are in my prayers. God Bless you.
After decades of killing their babies in the womb, the leaders of the left know they have to bolster their voter base. The net gain of new voters coming over the border versus the loss of young American lives seems worth it to them. During Viet Nam, the term “acceptable losses” of American lives was used in justifying military engagement. Sadly, these fentanyl deaths may be just that.
The World Is Too Much with Us
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours…
—Wordsworth
My heart breaks for Garry McCarthy and for our country.
Listened to the podcast. Hard to hear – about Mr McCarthy’s terrible loss. But on the money about the drugs, Southern border, and everything else. No effective leadership, in Washington or here in Chicago.
Absolute tragedy, I can’t begin to imagine the horror this family endured through 18 years of a loved one’s addiction, but the myth that all the fentanyl coming to this country crosses the southern border is a grievance trigger perpetuated by right wing media. Fentanyl is crossing at land ports of entry up and down the west coast, Texas ports and through Canada. It’s a crisis, no question, but it’s yet another crisis exploited to keep the base angry. Long on grievance, short on solutions. Build a mile deep trench along the entirety of the southern border and fentanyl will still be a problem, so then what?
Riga-Baloney! You, as usual are a nitwit! Your idiotic ramblings pollute this forum like eating late night Taco Bell pollutes your small colon. And pretty much has the same effect. I have a plan of attack that even an idiot like Riga- Baloney would endorse. Let’s all throw some money at the film ” The Sound of Freedom” . That’s right. I’ve wasted money going to see movies that had me checking my watch after ten minutes. At least this movie has a message we can all endorse. Even an idiot like Riga-Baloney can get behind this film. The Left wing media has attacked this movie or ignored it completely despite it killing at the box office. It’s putting more asses in theater seats than Indiana Jones! Everyone should go see this just to watch the Left lose their shit. Throw some love to this flick so idiots like Riga- Baloney shits His/Her/Its pants! I’m not sure what Riga- Baloney identifies as, could be a cucumber for all I know….I’m just being accommodating.
No one has ‘attacked’ the film, moreover I’ll never understand why Christians can’t feel validated unless they are feeling ‘attacked’ by…someone. The ‘War on Christianity’ only exists in your mind Mr Diaz, along with the belief that you are intelligent, handsome or well informed. I see movies as a means of escapism, to be entertained. Based on the subject matter, “The Sound of Freedom” accomplishes neither. Sounds like a poorly written ode to conspiracy theories and Christian Nationalism, hard pass. Have you seen “The Bear?” Heartfelt series about reinvention, the reward of hard work and a love letter to Chicago. Not the crime ridden version that exists in your mind-the real one. I recommend it. Say, have you ever considered a push up? You should. Just one. I know it’s a struggle but gotta start somewhere. (:
It’s so sad, this sophomoric left/right bullshit. Can’t you good people see the mind effing that the legacy media, the deep state, both corrupt parties are are pulling on us on a minute by minute basis?
Fentanyl, along with tons of other contraband and humans, comes on trucks, planes, trains, boats, by the container all app and down both coasts, and from Canada too.
By keeping us at each other’s throats over bathrooms, abortions, trans, fueling our biases and fears, they can keep,the money train going.
As I said before, someone is making money off of all this illegality at the border. That’s why it keeps happening.
Our prisons are for profit. They charge the inmates outrageous prices in commissary and for phone calls, make them work and play them pennies.
Much of our produce is plucked by illegal labor. No FICA, workers comp, no min wage, “F ‘em” who they gonna complain to?
The Democrat party has become the Republican Party now. There is only one. They tale the corporate money, do their bidding an manufacture a culture war to distract us. They use identity politics as a cloak to shield their malfeasance and dereliction of their oath of office.
The Dems are so terrible, all they have is killing babies, infantilizing minorities, and hollow platitudes about health care. Biden campaigned on all things. Have we seen one bill? You won’t either.
They are so bad that they lost to a game show host in 2016, a clown everyone was laughing at, until he won.
Yeah, they let him play president in TV, just like these fools who run things now let Sleepy Joe do, but they pull the strings.
They used Trump for the tax cut and the judges. These were major achievements, but and Jamoke could have signed what McConnell put in front of him.
He insults their wives to their faces and they do nothing. These are not men.
This is Riga- Tony’s Brain here. That’s right. Riga Tony’s Brain. I feel that I am about to have an intelligent thought. I know it’s never happened before but I can feel it coming on. My gelatinous skull is always empty but I’m feeling that this massive intelligent thought is about to occur. I can hardly wait to tell you. Its here! Wait a minute… oh no! It went away. Disappeared. Gone. False alarm I guess. No intelligent thoughts here. Nothing in this cranium but the usual stupidity and vapid emptiness. Maybe next time. Oh well, over and out, signed “Riga Tony’s Brain”.
If Garry McCarthy were to run for President, I would vote for him. I always have held him in high esteem and thought he did a great job in Chicago. Condolences to him and his family. We need someone like him in office to “drain the swamp” and take America back.
What is happening at the border and with the corruptor in Chief is pretty hard to accept, isn’t it? Not one major news program even mentions this stuff. Americans are walking around with masks on still, or stoned, or worse. If you try to talk about any of this stuff with your Democrat friends they act like there is no problem. Maybe when one of their kids or grandkids dies from fentenal poisoning, they will see things differently…or not.
Not sure when America is going to hit rock bottom, but I hope to God it is soon. We will all be here to claw our way back up out of the dark pit Biden and these corrupt politicians have created. God help us all!
Riga-Baloney! You, as usual are a nitwit! Your idiotic ramblings pollute this forum like eating late night Taco Bell pollutes your small colon. And pretty much has the same effect.

JOHN ,AKA JACK DOOLIN
Do not forget Sean Casten’s 18-year old daughter who went to a party, came home, went to bed and did not wake up.
Gwen Casten died of a sudden cardiac arrhythmia, there is NOTHING to suggest it was caused by Fentanyl or any other illegal drug. Don’t spread false rumors.
OMG, what a heartbreaking story. Mr. McCarthy was probably the finest Police Chief the city of Chicago has ever seen. And this crazy administration, has let down hundreds of thousands of people and is directly responsible for his daughter‘s death in my opinion. Totally disgusting, as is the media for not staying on top of this! My deepest sympathies to Gary McCarthy.
RigaTony is still, unfortunately a nitwit. Same shit, different day.
Sigh.
Another 100% true, tragic metro Chicago story about our best people, our best families being corrupted and yes, murdered by the evil Woke, Lib criminal Mexican opioid cartels, Chi Communists.
Each one of John Kass, Wirepoints personal stories should be enough to boil the blood of any remaining “red blooded Americans” get us to take to the streets, go to war against these Fentanyl cartels and the specific pharmaceutical CEOs that created, marketed Oxycontin.
Mr John Kass, most of his readers here and elsewhere – we now have to get beyond just lamenting these terrible, tragic stories, noticing the near total corruption of Woke, Soros funded DA’s like our Kim Foxx, trying to appeal to the mainstream media to be more “fair” – not glorify opioid, meth, crack cocaine hard drug dealers like Saint (not) George Floyd but instead tell the true stories of gone too soon Kyla McCarthys. And then there’s the distractions of 5 days a week college (in name only) Football, NFL Football.
I have been doing what you are doing now John Kass for ~ 30 years when I was left behind in New York City being a Public School teacher, later earning (didn’t work for me) an MBA from the #1 MBA program in the USA. This was in the late 1980s.
I lived in New York City when there were over 2,000 murders in one year, tourists from Utah being murdered on the NYC subway, that Central Park Jogger gang raped and left for dead (all but one of the rapists got off thanks to race hustler Rev. NOT Al Sharpton and DA Robert Morganthau) .
I lived at Avenue A and 12th street – 2 blocks away there was a Dominican Crack Cocaine Houses “THE ROCK” where the drug gang was cutting off people’s heads!
I had worked on mainstream Republican, Conservatives circles and contacted everyone I knew to try to tell them what was happening, how they had to “WAKE UP” and do something – DO SOMETHING. These horrors were happening in our cities in our country – where the fuc* was the US Military ?
I went to Grad school a block and a half from the World Trade Center and left NYC shortly before the Islamic terrorists bombed, slaughtered our people there the first time in 1993 – I predicted these terrorist attacks, slaughters in NYC and elsewhere.
And then in 1991 under a supposedly “Conservative” ex CIA chief George HW Bush Sr “tough on Crime” , Not like the ACLU Liberal Mike Dukakis who let a murderer Willie Horton go on an unsupervised Weekend pass and Will proceeds to do a home invasion, rape and torture a regular middle class woman. This Conservative GOP USA President Bush allows gang members to riot, loot murder Korean grocers in the Rodney King LA riots.
And then there were the first of many, oh so many distractions of false patriotic Neo Conservative war, interventions in Iraq, Bush Jr would do the same.
90% plus Conservative support, GOP support for these fake patriotic wars, interventions in Iraq, Syria, Serbia and now Ukraine, Russia.
And what do we do?
We try to tell the teacher, try to let Conservatives, let the MSM media, Conservative churches like the LDS Mormons know about these 100,000 plus opioid Fentanyl deaths.
Did everyone catch the Tucker Carlson interviews of all but Trump GOP Candidates in Iowa this weekend? Trump asked Christian Coalition former Trump VP Mike Pence that our cities were all collapsing in to brutal suicides, drug addict homeless, drugs disease and despair and he – Mike Pence seemed not to be paying attention or seemed just not to care instead Pence wanted to continues to waste tens of $ billions sending tanks to Ukraine to fight…
THE RUSSIANS
(Anybody here in Chicago scared that sexy Russian tennis players like Anna Kournikova will come get us – I wish they would come get me).
Did everyone here catch Mike Pence’s response to Tucker pointing out that Civilization in our Americans cities was collapsing?
Mike Pence said:
“That’s not my concern” – then he went out to spout some ridiculous Neo Con nonsense words to the effect that “We’re the Leader of the Free World and have to fight the evil empire the Russians”.
Sigh.
OK, I’m rambling.
Mr John Kass and readers here.
Is anybody else ready to stop just complaining about these horrors, trying to “tell the teacher” when the teachers are now mostly NEA, Woke, BLM, CRT, CTU/Communist Teachers Union B Johnson hacks.
There are simple real things we can do like to protests outside the Mexican and Chi Communist consulates here in Chicago.
We can set up scholarships in Kyla McCarthy’s name for teenage girls to strictly ovoid all opioids, do a concerted campaign to all metro Chicago doctors to never proscribe opioid pain killers like Oxycontin – to demand the USA military now fight as in KILL DEAD the Sinnola drug cartel.
Why wasn’t “El Chapo” executed – wasn’t he in a Chicago prison. Where is he now? How about his whor* girl friend?
Again, we need to make this…
PERSONAL
Don’t just complain about supposedly all evil, all powerful institutions like “The Liberal Media”, “The Cartels”, “The Woke Democrats”, “the Military Industrial National Defense complex” that does NOTHING to defend our nation, defend our border.
We need to….
Name names – confront real enemies and traitors like former Trump VP Mike Pence.
Don’t just confine our opposition threatening not to vote for Pence or other traitors – that’s not what the Left does to get what they want and they are, yeah, winning getting what they want, taking over politics, education even (non) law enforcement in all our cities.
I’m game to actually do something here in Chicago, metro Chicago.
Anybody else want to join me.
Thank you Mr. John Kass sir for another excellent 100% true terrible story about murder, corruption in Chicago. Are you healthy enough to once again do street demos in downtown Chicago like you once did with CPD protesting Kim Foxx fixing the Jussie Smollet racial hate crime hoax prosecution?
God bless you sir
God protect all remaining good Americans in metro Chicago, Northwest Indian
It looks like we lost Chicago City like we lost most of American cities in the 80s and early 90s. Remember when crack cocaine addict Marion Barry was the mayor of our nation’s capital?
PS. What ever happened to the Chicago Crime Commission. I think another tough ex Chicago police chief Jody Weiss was hired to be the CCC president that I didn’t hear anything form them, they dont’ even have a live receptionist.
Sigh.
And El Chapo – the $ billionaire leader of arguably THE worst opioid Mexican drug cartel – we didn’t kill him and drag his body through our drug ravaged streets like we would in a real “War against drugs”.
