About this episode
Hundreds of vandals looted Chicago businesses Sunday night and into Monday morning. The images of shattered storefronts in and around the city's Loop look more like a war zone than an American city. John Tillman, chairman and CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute , joins the podcast to offer insight into how the streets of Chicago so quickly fell into chaos, and what must be done to prevent further violence and looting. Tillman also explains how Illinois' economy may be affected by the city’s surge in criminal activity and spike in murders this year.
