Pritzker's Purge

"Governor" Pritzker has a plan.
There will be no cash bail for the criminal clan.
The arsonist, murderer-kidnapper, and 
garden-variety brutes are in celebration.
From beyond his gated walls, he boasted 
that this will make citizens safer.

Pritzker has planted land mines in the community garden.
Innocents will be forced to do the weeding,
Lock and load, my friends. Pray if you must.
The purge begins on New Year's Day.
