Neighbor of robbery victim tells 'Fox & Friends First' local officials all looking for someone else to blame.
One Chicago resident is speaking out after a shocking video showed his neighbor being robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight in a wealthy neighborhood as the crime surge continues.
Bill Pollard joined "Fox & Friends First" to discuss the assault of the woman and how the community is coping with the recent spike in violence.
"There's a lot of finger-pointing going on," Pollard told co-host Todd Piro. "The local politicians, the police, the prosecutors… all trying to identify that someone else is to blame for the issue."
The incident in an affluent neighborhood on Chicago's North Side over the weekend.
Several men jumped out of a car, tackled the woman to the ground, and robbed her before fleeing the scene.
According to the Chicago Police Department, crime is up 37%, burglaries 28%, robberies 18%, and car theft 64%.
"I would think we would be very naive to believe that it's just… the environment that… we all live in right now," Pollard said. "I think there's a degree of concern that we all should have for our own safety."
