MASSIVE CRIME SURGE
'Defund the police' blamed for causing this
Pennsylvania Democrat Commissioner Charged with Raping 15-Year-Old Boy
A Democrat elected official in Darby Township, Pennsylvania, has been arrested and charged with raping a 15-year-old boy.
Marvin Smith, a 50-year-old Democrat elected to the Darby Township Board of Commissioners in 2019, turned himself in to the Philadelphia Police Department late last week on charges of rape, sexual assault, and others related to the rape of a 15-year-old boy in 2017.
According to investigators, on August 12, 2017, Smith was in his vehicle when he approached the boy and offered to give him a ride. Smith lured the boy by claiming to be a family friend, investigators claim.
When the boy got into Smith’s vehicle, Smith drove them to a park where he then allegedly raped the teen. Afterward, the boy told police that Smith dropped him off at an undisclosed location. The boy first filed a sexual assault complaint against Smith in April 2019 but an arrest warrant was not issued until November 22, 2021.
Smith remains listed as a Darby Township Commissioner on the local government’s website. Smith remains in police custody on a $100,000 bail.
In September 2020, following a summer of riots by Black Lives Matter activists, Smith shared a meme on his Facebook page that depicted two black men with guns drawn at a white police officer’s head with the caption, “Does it have to come to this to make them stop murdering and terrorizing us?”
As a result, Smith was stripped of his duties overseeing the region’s police department.

2021 Deadliest Year in Quarter of a Century in Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Last year proved to be the deadliest in a quarter of a century for Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) strife-torn Chicago.
The Hill reports that Chicago police confirmed the city witnessed 797 homicides during the course of 2021.
The Associated Press notes the 797 homicides represent “25 more than were recorded 2020, 299 more than in 2019 and the most since 1996.”
Moreover, there were “3,561 shooting incidents in 2021, which is just over 300 more than were recorded in 2020.” The figure of 3,561 represents over 1,400 more shooting instances than were seen in 2019.
As calls for Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's ouster continue to grow, the carnage and death tolls in her city continue to climb. https://t.co/svKeXyBUYc

The Chicago Police Department pointed out that it was targeting illegal guns throughout the year and was able to “[take] a record 12,088 guns off the street in 2021.” The seizure of so many guns is correlated with the formation of the Gun Investigations Team, which is designed to hamper “the flow of illegal guns into the city.”
The Chicago Sun-Times noted a higher figure for Chicago homicides in 2021, reporting that city hit the figure of 800 homicides for the year when 23-year-old Sheridan Freeman was shot dead inside a home in West Pullman on December 14.
On December 21, 2021, Breitbart News reported that Mayor Lightfoot reached out for the ATF’s help in fighting the surging homicides in her city after previously saying coronavirus was driving up the fatalities:
