Chicago’s wealthiest residents are hiring private armed security to patrol their neighborhoods in an effort to protect themselves and their property while the city sees an uptick in violent crimes.
Paul Ohm, the executive vice president of P4 Security Solutions LLC, told The Wall Street Journal that his business is booming and entire neighborhoods are hiring his firm.
“There’s a lot of areas that are trying to get people together and consolidate funds and build associations and at least talking to us about the possibility of doing patrols,” he told BlockClubChicago.org.
He told the website that his company usually provides security for hospitals and high rises, but COVID-19 changed all that.
“With people coming out of COVID and the crime increasing, other people in different neighborhoods saw what we were doing and started reaching out. That’s how we basically started doing these patrols.”
TREND FORECAST: As Gerald Celente has said, “When people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”
When the COVID War broke out in 2020, we had forecast there would be sharp spikes in crime as “people lose everything,” because their lives and livelihoods were locked down by politicians.
The Trends Journal has reported on the jump on crime in cities across the U.S. (See “NEW YORK, NEW YORK. IT’S CRIME TIME,” “COVID WAVE OF ORGANIZED RETAIL THEFT CONTINUES,” “COVID WAR: ORGANIZED THIEVES GROW BOLDER” and “COVID CRIME WAVE SPIKES, DRUG STORES CLOSE”), yet the mainstream news does not relate the lockdowns to the soaring crime rates.
Crime Days
CBS News reported that this year, the Windy City had at least 2,422 robberies and 3,980 motor vehicle thefts. There have been 180 murders in the city since the start of the year.
Bucktown, one of the neighborhoods that recently hired the private security company, has seen a 30 percent increase in reported crimes compared to last year.
The jump in crime is not isolated to Chicago and private security across the country is a booming business.
Sean Meehan, the director of sales at United Security Inc., in Red Bank, N.J., told the paper that he has received “numerous calls” from individuals who want security patrols in their neighborhoods.
“It’s crime,” he said. “Straight up crime—and the people in those areas not feeling safe.”
TREND FORECAST: As inflation and the various stresses brought on by the COVID War continue (and increase), so, too, will crime (and drug use, and mental illness, homelessness, and public nuisance behaviors).
And the problem is worldwide. As we had forecast, thanks to the draconian COVID War measures imposed on populations by politicians, a bad situation has become much worse.
TREND FORECAST: Yes, the COVID War has killed hundreds of millions of more lives and livelihoods than the virus.
Get ready for the New World Disorder, as people across the globe take to the streets in protest of lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime and violence.
As nations decline and social unrest intensifies, so too will immigration as people do all they can to escape for their lives.
In response, there will be strong populist, anti-immigration and anti-establishment political movements in richer nations where refugees seek safe-haven.
Gun Thefts on the Rise in U.S.
Law enforcement officials across the U.S. say a surge in gun thefts has directly contributed to the jump in homicides in major cities, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The report said there was a nearly 30 percent increase in gun thefts in major U.S. cities over the past two years. Atlanta and Houston have seen the largest increases in gun thefts.
The paper, citing gun experts, pointed to the number of Americans who own guns who may be unsure about how to store them. Many of these gun thefts have occurred from cars.
(See “GUN VIOLENCE SURGES ACROSS U.S.,” “WOMEN GOING FOR GUNS” and “NO SUBSTITUTE FOR FIREARMS.”)
“Once they have it, they just kind of forget about it,” Martin Devine, the commander of the Pittsburgh police department’s narcotics and vice unit, told the paper.
The Journal pointed out that homicides in the U.S. jumped 30 percent in 2020 and continue to hover around that range. The vast majority of these murders were by gunshot.
