Remember back in the summer of 2020 when social workers were supposed to be the answer to crime?Most leftists have abandoned this sort of rhetoric, mind you, but the vestiges of it still linger. New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani seems ready and eager to revive it. As it turns out, this only works if the social workers aren't criminals. You'd think that'd be obvious, the same way that a cop cannot be a robber. But in Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's Chicago, we have a reminder that this sort of thing isn't just an abstract question.According to local crime coverage outlet CWB Chicago, a so-called "anti-violence worker" hired by the city was sentenced to 22 years behind bars after "a string of violent carjackings in West Englewood that left one victim shot and others threatened at gunpoint."From a Friday report from the outlet:U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins handed down the sentence for 23-year-old Jamari Edwards, who admitted in April to carjacking three people during a single week in August 2022. Edwards also pleaded guilty to federal firearm charges tied to the crimes.Prosecutors said the first hijacking occurred on August 6, 2022, in the drive-thru lane of a Dunkin’ Donuts. Edwards got into the passenger seat of a man’s car, pointed a gun, and ordered him out. As the victim walked away, prosecutors said, Edwards asked the victim why he was not scared, then shot him in the leg. Moments later, Edwards circled back, frisked the wounded man at gunpoint, and took his wallet and phone before driving off in the victim’s car.Lovely. Too bad the anti-violence “peacekeeper” was violent during the carjacking. The state might have to cut his pay for that.And, according to the outlet, he's not the only "anti-violence worker" getting into trouble.The same day that CWB Chicago ran that report, seven men were charged in a robbery that ended in felony murder, with prosecutors saying they were "part of a crash-and-grab burglary crew that killed a motorist while fleeing a break-in at the Louis Vuitton store on Michigan Avenue this week."While "most of the men have significant arrest records," it turns out that one of the men was a so-called "peacekeeper" in Chicago, according to a source close to the investigation.
