'we' begin to remove the soros disease in chicago so to speak;

Shoplifters in Chicago are being slapped with felony charges 154% more often under Cook County’s new state’s attorney than they were under Kim Foxx’s administration.

Retired justice Eileen O’Neill Burke took office on December 2 and immediately followed through on her campaign promise to adhere to state law by pursuing felonies against people who shoplift merchandise worth more than $300. Foxx ordered prosecutors to withhold felony charges unless the value exceeded $1,000 or the accused shoplifter had ten or more previous convictions.

Three weeks into O’Neill Burke’s administration, the results of the rule change are already apparent.

• From January 1 through November 30, we found 3,264 retail theft cases filed in the city. Only 11% of those were filed as felonies.
• During November, Foxx’s last month in office, there were 333 cases, with 13% filed as felonies.

But the numbers are much different in the early days of O’Neill Burke’s administration. We found 248 shoplifting cases filed in Chicago between December 3 and December 22. Prosecutors filed 69 of those as felonies. That’s 28%, a 154% increase from the rate seen during the first eleven months of the year. It’s a 115% increase compared to November alone.
