PBS can't be defunded soon enough.

Once again, Chicago Tonight reveals it is an opinion vehicle bent on advancing left-wing propaganda rather than delivering straight news.

When discussing the June XX shooting at Douglass Park, "all-star" panelist Jim Daley asked why the man accused, lifeguard Charles Leto, had a gun on Chicago Park District property and how Leto was hired as a lifeguard.

Daley can blame guns and the Park District's lifeguard program all he chooses, but we have an alternative theory here, one which WTTW declined to offer its audience.

Hear us out.

We believe it is possible Mr. Leto was being harassed by a group of kids at Douglass pool earlier on the day he fatally shot one teen and injured a second teen.

It's conceivable Leto anticipated trouble later.

We believe it's entirely plausible to theorize the two teens shot by Leto may have been planning to attack and rob Leto.

Though inexact, this incident evokes memories of Bernhard Goetz on the NY subway in 1984.

This is speculation on our part of course, but it's a perspective which the good folks at WTTW would prefer to keep from its viewers.

To WTTW and its far-left panel, guns and the Park District's hiring practices are to blame.
