He was ultimately sentenced to 3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson scolds a Latina female reporter for asking whether or not he's going to the Bears game while he goes to London
(He coincidentally decided to go to London to "attract business" to Chicago the same week of the Bears game).
It's disrespectful and condescending for pointing out that the "Black man" is going to London for a Bears game.
He ends it by essentially saying yes, he'll be at the game to "root for the Chicago Bears."

An incredibly weak, divisive man who blames all of his shortcomings on everyone else rather than look in the mirror.
This isn't a leader. This a sad little man with a personal vendetta for people he feels wronged him.
He doesn't represent the citizens of Chicago. He represents the ideologues who funded his campaign. That is it.
.@ChicagoMayor: "Y'all look, white supremacy is real- I'm going to say that one more time."
Brandon Johnson launches a hardcore identity politics rant, blaming The Man for his city's miseries.

A judge in the Second Judicial Circuit of Illinois has found that a woman possessing a firearm within the confines of her home [without an active FOID card] is an act protected by the Second Amendment.
She had no criminal record and was otherwise eligible to have and possess a firearm and be issued a FOID card.
The judge also stated any fee associated with exercising the "core fundamental Constitutional right of armed self-defense within the confines of one’s home" violates the Second Amendment

Mayor Brandon Johnson was recently revealed to have spent $80,000+ on redecorating his wife's office, including $43,000 on furniture alone (a chair costing $2,200+, a desk at $4,4000, 2 chairs totaling $8,300).
When asked about it, Johnson essentially says these purchases aren't going to change anything regarding city finances.
This all comes at a time when Johnson seeks to get approval for a $1.5 billion bond issuance and a $300 million loan for Chicago Teacher's Union contract demands and the city faces $1 billion deficit and there is the potential for layoffs and cuts, including to police and fire.
Johnson has already cancelled the next 2 Chicago Police academy classes.

These conditions are inhumane. This is dehumanizing to the people living here and not conducive to migrants, officers and citizens who are seeking police service.
You would think with all of this time and funding, Chicago would have figured out a better alternative.

Simply put, this isn't okay.

To blame "Republicans" for any positive or negative effect of policies in Chicago is asinine.
Republicans have essentially ZERO influence or power in Chicago and Illinois.
It's like a teacher blaming other teachers in a school elsewhere because the first teacher's students are meeting benchmarks. As a teacher (which Johnson likes to remind people often he supposedly was), I'm sure Johnson would pull a stunt like that.
JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson lashes out and blames "right wing extremists" for Chicago's problems and says Republicans are mad that black people are free.
The left always blames others for the problems they create.
Instead of taking responsibility for the failed liberal policies, Johnson claimed Chicago was "targeted" by Republicans.
"What we've seen is a very raggedy form of right-wing extremism. Everyone knows that the right-wing extremism in this country has targeted democratically run cities and quite frankly and they have been quite intentional about going after democratically ran cities that are led by people of color."
"It's the same Republican right-wing extremism that stormed the capital, its the same right wing extremism that refuses to accept the results of the civil war. Its raggedy its disrespectful, its mean spirited."
"They're still mad that a black man is free in this country."

Officer Jeffrey Friedlieb died by suicide yesterday night on the 4700 block of N Lamon. On 18 July 2011 Officer Friedlieb and his partner Officer Delvalle were shot in the line of duty near Pulaski and Wilcox after attempting to apprehend a suspected drug dealer. Friedlieb was born and raised on the Northwest side of Chicago.
He attended St. Tarcissus School, graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in 2000, and briefly attended the University of Iowa. In 2003, Friedlieb enlisted into the United States Marine Corps and served his time as a M1A1 Tank Crewman. Shortly after enlisting, he was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq where he took part in the Battle of Fallujah in November of 2004. In July 2007, he was honorably discharged as a sergeant from the Marine Corps, and then began his career with the Chicago Police Department.
May he rest in peace and we express our deepest condolences to his family.
Photo provided by a friend.
This was a Chicago Police officer who was on duty disability.
He received the Carter Harrison medal which is granted to officers who have performed distinguished acts of bravery in the protection of life or property after being shot in the head in 2011.
The officer was shot in the head but survived in 2011 after witnessing a drug transaction in a west side alley and confronting the suspected drug dealer.
The offender was convicted of attempted murder and the officer testified at court that the bullet would remain lodged in his head for life, and caused constant headaches, trouble with balance and partial hearing loss in his left ear. He said after the incident he has also suffered from nightmares and PTSD.
