Earlier this week, a 26-year-old woman was set on fire by career criminal Lawrence Reed on Chicago’s public transit system. Reed doused the woman in gasoline before setting her on fire, per the New York Post. After his arrest, Reed allegedly shouted, “burn b*tch” and “burn alive b*tch.”
Following the incident, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson requested expedited funding for Chicago’s transit system.

President Trump said on Saturday’s Truth Social post that his offer of federal support is being denied. “Governor Pritzker and the low IQ Mayor of Chicago are refusing Federal Government help for a situation that could be quickly remedied.”
Friday’s shooting left eight people injured and one person dead after the city’s official Christmas tree lighting ceremony, CBS News reported.
Mayor Johnson said he wants parents to step up and help address gun violence.
