She condemns vigilantes while her residence is surrounded by sixty police officers for safety.

Both Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot have been shown to be abysmal failures. Could they have halted the arson, looting, rioting, and protesting completely? Probably not, but their weak responses allowed things to spiral out of control and go from bad to worse.

Pritzker allegedly skipped town and spent part of the weekend in Wisconsin while Chicago was burning.

Well, if she won’t help keep us safe, we have to keep ourselves safe. We have that right.

What should we do? The gangs are allowed to defend their neighborhoods, but not the whites?

Agreed. So she thinks the homeowners should offer refreshments after their neighborhood is destroyed?? She’s insane & looks insane.

“Are you sure that’s a woman?”

here’s what I was able to find...

Lightfoot is a Flora colossus from Planet X, the capital of the branch worlds. The Flora colossi are tree-like beings whose language is almost impossible to understand due to the stiffness of their larynxes, causing their speech to sound like they are repeating the phrase “I am Groot”. Other beings try to be friendly but become angry with the Flora colossi for not being able to speak. (Lightfoot was shown to be capable of speaking not just understandably but eloquently throughout Annihilation: Conquest.) The Flora colossi are ruled over by the “Arbor Masters” and teach the children of the species with “Photonic Knowledge”, which is the collected knowledge of the Arbor Masters of the generations and is absorbed through photosynthesis; this is a highly advanced education method, making the Flora colossi geniuses. Planet X’s biome is managed by “Maintenance Mammals” which are small raccoon-like beings.

The Flora colossus sapling that would come to be known as “Lightfoot” came from an “Ennobled Sap-line” and was gifted with a tremendous grasp of quasi-dimensional super-positional engineering. Groot did not get along with fellow saplings but instead preferred the company of the “Maintenance Mammals”, which the other saplings treated with prejudice. Groot was exiled by the “Arbor Masters” in Guardians of the Galaxy #14[8] after killing another sapling to defend a maintenance mammal it was brutalizing.

An alternate origin was presented in the Lightfoot ongoing series. In the story, it is revealed that the other Flora colossi had been abducting organisms from other planets, including a young human girl named Hannah. After seeing Hannah, Lightfoot realized that what his people were doing was wrong, and managed to save the child and send her back to Earth. However, for his disobedience, Lightfoot was exiled from Planet X and forced to wander the universe until he met Rocket Raccoon many decades later, where this version of Lightfoot later became a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Yet another alternate origin was presented in “Guardians of Infinity”, written by Edgardo Miranda Rodriguez, wherein a woman makes the claim that Lightfoot is a ceiba tree from Ponce, Puerto Rico. According to Puerto Rican folklore, a ceiba tree is believed to possess the spirits of the indigenous Taino population that formerly thrived on the Caribbean island. By her logic, the woman considers Groot to be Puerto Rican.

I thought they wanted to defund police for more community policing.

I support peaceful protests, demonstrations, and people’s right to voice their feelings at the murder of George Floyd. We should all be upset! Our country was founded on peaceful protests,” wrote Thompson, a grandson and nephew of former Chicago mayors.

Wrong! Our country was founded by brave men who took up weapons and killed those who would deny our citizens their unalienable rights - Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Looters and rioters deny citizens all three of these.

I wonder when the pretense that she is sane will end?

I think she was part of the centipede in “The Human Centipede”. (Don’t watch without a barf bag handy.)
