When you have to fabricate racism to fight to justify your worldview, you end up doing more harm than good. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson shows that better than anyone.

Johnson is the personification of “antiracist” criminal justice “reform,” and that comes with deadly consequences for Chicago residents. On Tuesday night, Chicago police found 43-year-old Eduardo Gamez dead in his car. Gamez’s car had multiple bullet holes, and he had been shot in the abdomen. Gamez’s car was running when police discovered him, and surveillance showed that he had been parked for at least 2 1/2 hours.
