Chicago mayor says looting was "straight-up felony criminal conduct"

Many of the Mayors have sat back and watched their cities burn during the rioting and looting. Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago has been one of them. However, a couple of days ago, she finally found her backbone and made an excellent speech condemning the actions of the criminals. I am all for legal, peaceful protests. However, destroying the lives and businesses of people under the guise of a "protest" is NEVER acceptable. Though Mayor Lightfoot's handling of the riots in Chicago has been very poor, I must give her credit for finally standing up for her city.

 

Guess Mayor Lightfoot didn't get the memo. The looting was reparations not criminal activity.

Meh.

She's just pandering as the wind shifts.

She's useless/dangerous political scum; a typical Democrat sociopath.

 

Mostly peaceful reparations?

 

1) This WASN'T a "Protest".

2) It was straight up Organized Criminal Activity.

3) Everybody Agrees with point 1) and 2).

 

Words are useless when they're not backed up by action, and Mayor Smeagol isn't going to do anything but flap her gums.

 

It wasn't a protest, it was a direct result of the protests.

The protests proved that the leadership of Democrat-run cities is weak and incompetent, and the looting is criminals taking advantage of that weakness.

 

Totally, Bro'.

It can all be traced back to the first shots at Lexington in 1775.

As far as Lightfoot?

Obviously, she is spot-on about these organized criminals.

But, she has done a horrible job and lost control of the city.

And, even after COVID, in the Summer of 2022-- Chicago will never be the same.

The worst part is that Lightfoot was just elected and is barely over 4 Months into a 4-year term.

 

Chicago's nightmare has only just begun.

 

Too little too late.

 

It's not REALLY illegal if there are no arrests and/or the DA doesn't prosecute.

 

Exactly right.

 

Chicago mayor says looting was "straight-up felony criminal conduct"

Why tell me? Stopping it is her responsibility.

 

Democratic controlled cities have been spiraling into utter chaos for years but they keep getting elected. Makes me wonder if "universal suffrage" has about run it's course.

 

If they don't get a handle on it Chicago is the next Detroit.

 

Detroit has already said they (the citizens and police) won't put up with that type of self absorbed idiocy.

Detroit police chief explains lack of violent riots in Motor City: 'We don't retreat here'
James Craig says city's mayor, community members have 'stood together' against street radicals

Detroit Police Chief James Craig joined "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday to discuss why the city has been spared the violent protests happening in other urban centers across the U.S.

"We don't retreat here in Detroit. We're just not gonna do it," Craig told host Tucker Carlson. "You saw the images ... of streets where there was lawlessness, looting, burning. No sign of police officers. We weren't giving up ground to the radicals. We just didn't do it."

While Detroit has avoided major unrest, Portland has been gripped by nightly demonstrations and riots for more than two months while rejecting offers of federal assistance from President Trump.

In apparent contrast to Portland, Craig told Carlson, citizens of Detroit are "fed up with these radical protests."

"I'm not to talking about these peaceful protests ... [I mean] these misguided radicals that have tried to incite violence in our city," the chief said. "They said, 'We're not going to put up with it.' And so we got a couple of things. We got a great police department, great leadership, but we have a community that stands with us and said, 'enough is enough.'"

Wait, that idiot said that "The Census Cowboy" was going to stop the rioting. I **** you not. While the rioting was going on this was her focus.





Just the day before this "Census Cowboy" idiocy is what was happening in Chicago:

Well that makes Donnie T a liar since he Schiested on all Blue State leaders.

 

Makes zero sense even in wacko lefty land.

 

Its basically unopposed Democrat party rule in Chicago.

This is what it gets you...

 

That is a damn nice top you have spinning there. He "Schiested" on them (and rightfully so) BEFORE some of them found their backbone.

 

Looting makes no sense in wacky left or wacky right land or in Trump land.

 

Field Marshall Bonespurs has shown that he lacks any form of back bone. Anyone with even one cell of honesty knows that Bonespur's attack on the Blue states was all political and not in any way based on concern for demonstrations gone bad. He attacked the Blue states specifically and attacked the Blue governors and mayors only because they were Blue. He threatened to use federal military force to suppress demonstrations by American within the boundaries of the US. That is unconstitutional. Everyone of us who were or are in the military should know that.Virtually all retired generals and admirals stated that as a criticism of his Bonespurs plan to use federal military force against American citizens. Even the Chief of his military staff noted after he follishly participated in the Church Bible Attack on the demonstrators in Lafayette Park that what he did was improper.

What Bonespurs wants to do is act the way the dictator so called president of Belarus Lukashenko is doing. It should be that Turd world countries should try to emulate us as in US not the US emulating the Turd world countries.

 

You really should let Antifa/BLM know that.

 

We can't teach because of Covid Concerns but we can riot, loot and burn baby. Brilliant.
