Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city will not tolerate vigilantism after groups of mostly white men patrolled the streets of the Bridgeport neighborhood on Wednesday night in response to a nearby city protest.
Multiple streets were blocked in the Bridgeport neighborhood Wednesday night as nearby protests dispersed. Near West Pershing Road, water gushed from an open fire hydrant as small groups gathered on corners. Some of the men held bats. One wore a shirt that said All Lives Matter, one sipped a beer and another waved at an officer as he drove by. Additional groups of people, some armed with bats, lined West 31st Street.
Asked about the situation in Bridgeport, a diversifying neighborhood that served as an Irish American power base for the Daley political family, Lightfoot said, It is absolutely not appropriate for people to take up arms, bats, pipes, whatever in patrolling neighborhoods.

She won't tolerate vigilantism, but rioters and looters get free reign.
Additionally, yesterday she was begging Target and Walmart to stay in the city. What a disgrace.

So what? The problem is too few men patrolling the streets.

Given that white are eighteen times more likely to be killed by blacks than the other way around, I would say baseball bats even the odds, but only a little.

Maybe she spent time near Chernobyl.

All this time and I didn’t know that Skeletor was a black woman.
To: yldstrk
She seems to expect her police to help the looters.

What a beautiful, charming, brilliant, sane, strong moral leader you all have Chicago. She looks as good as she acts. Enjoy.
