Conservative civil rights attorney Leo Terrell called has called Chicago residents to “get out” of the Democrat-controlled city while they still can.
Terrell fired back after Chicago’s newly elected Democrat mayor, Brandon Johnson, spoke out to defend the violent mobs of teenagers who have been terrorizing the city over the weekend.
As Slay News reported earlier, Johnson is refusing to blame the rioters and is calling for the city not to demonize them instead.
“It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,” the mayor said.
“In no way do I condone the destructive activity we saw in the Loop and lakefront this weekend.
“It is unacceptable and has no place in our city.
“However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.
“Our city must work together to create spaces for youth to gather safely and responsibly, under adult guidance and supervision, to ensure that every part of our city remains welcome for both residents and visitors.
“This is one aspect of my comprehensive approach to improve public safety and make Chicago livable for everyone.”
Terrell responded with a call to action for Chicagoans.
“This guy is crazy!” he said of Johnson.
“Get out of Chicago NOW!”

“Democrats will hold National Convention in Chicago next year!” Terrell added.
“A match made in Hell!”

The riots that took place over the weekend were the latest in a series of violent incidents in Chicago.
The people of Chicago suffered three nights of violent chaos and large groups of teens run wild in the city streets.
The city’s outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot also issued a statement to downplay the violence, claiming that most of the teens are just having “a good time” and want to “enjoy” the “good weather.”
However, despite Lightfoot’s claims, videos from the weekend show huge mobs of teens running wild in the city, not just small groups as she suggests.
Ald. Raymond Lopez said:
“Investing Million$ w/ community-based partners has been a failure because nobody holds them accountable for actually doing anything.
“From contact tracing to violence interruption, Lightfoot has only been focused on nonprofit capacity building, not metrics of outcomes for success.”
