Chicago Has Had To Hire Security To Watch The Gas Pumps Over Carjackings

Chicago’s spike in carjackings has some residents so rattled that aldermen are working with private security to make sure residents can pump gas in peace.
South Side Ald. Stephanie Coleman, 16th, said one of her residents was carjacked at a gas station on Christmas Day, which inspired the idea to hire local security to provide a safe place to fill up “because people are afraid to get gas no matter what time of day of being carjacked.”
“It hit home for me,” Coleman said.
She’s since worked with local gas stations and Kates Security Services to set up times when people can fill up. The Citgo on 63rd Street and the Dan Ryan Expressway, and the Shell at 55th and Halsted streets are secured as part of Operation Safe Pump for an hour each day, Coleman said.
Citgo is open from 11 a.m. to noon as a morning option while Shell is open from 6 to 7 p.m. as an evening option, Coleman said.

White supremacy is out of control in Chicago.
Trump is to blame.

But Lightfoot said I’m safe in Chicago cause OMB is gone from the White House.

Do they still want to defund the police?

Defund the police so we can hire private security!

They are using walkie talkies on each other.

Man we have some failed leadership in America. So sad.

Elect a sleastack as your city mayor and this becomes the normal...

Too fricking bad Beetlejuice and her cronies don't allow concealed handgun permits.
Know how many attempted carjackings there would be in Chicago if they allowed CCP?
ONE.

Betcha south side alderman Stephanie Coleman's uncle/cous/brother in law, are running the newly formed "security service" and are making some jack. Heck, her nephew probably arranged the carjack to get the new security business started.

They need some common sense carjacking controls implemented. Red flag laws for drivers. And outlaw the scary black ones with the large capacity gas tanks.

Considering how they vote I'm glad they are getting their cars carjacked. They deserve worse to be honest

Have they tried midnight basketball? What about keeping an eye on right wing extremists? If they’ve done those two, really nothing else to do...except maybe teach them to code.

Our major cities are run with third world leadership.

Why don't they just call social workers?

Reminds me of the off duty cop a few years ago that was getting car jacked at night while pumping. Three of them with guns, he acts like he is getting his wallet and quick draws, puts one in their head. Love a happy ending.
