Chicago's mayor claims reparations will help tackle the cycle of violence amid crime surge

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson believes reparations for descendants of slaves will help improve his city's rising crime rate.
Murders are down 13 per cent this year and 20 per cent in three years, but all crime is up 17 per cent - particularly car theft and robbery.
Johnson's 2024 budget includes $100 million for violence prevention, but also $500,000 to form a Commission on Restoration and Reparations.
The commission will study the issue and provide recommendations on whether and how to compensate Chicago's descendants of slaves.
'These are the first dollars spent in this city to begin the process of studying both restoration and reparations,' Johnson said last month.

'When residents who have experienced neglect and disinvestment for generations speak out of their pain and their trauma, this administration and the Black Caucus, we hear you.'
Johnson on Wednesday claimed reparations would also help reduce violent crime, though he was yet to directly explain how.

Will he take bets? Because I will bet him any sum of money that it won't.

Let’s get these folks some cash and see how it ends up. I suspect we will see investments in mutual funds, start ups, education, and some generous charitable donations. Let’s do this.
