Little wonder that protests and riots are increasing in frequency:
Last night Groot (Mayor Lori Lightfoot) ordered the Commander and Deputy Chief not to arrest any of the protesters that had their sit in that disrupted traffic for more than four hours at Roosevelt and Columbus. At on point while sitting in that intersection the group ordered pizzas. The mayor of this city is allowing all of this (stuff) to happen and the media is silent. A (expletive deleted) four hour pizza party at a very busy intersection and the police have to babysit and allow it to go on. No wonder these protests never end with the mayor enabling this type of behavior.
Dallas arrested hundreds when they marched on the highways and refused to disperse. But that would be too much to expect with the mental midgets running Chicago into the ground.

There must be a government policy to help people in areas in which the elected officials will not maintain civic order, and in areas in which the media will not report the news of what is actually, happening instead of only reporting agenda driven stories.
It might be nice if police chiefs were independent from Mayors. Someone needs to focus on law enforcement. Some of these mayor are focused on making sure law enforcement doesn’t happen.
Define irony. people blockiny Columbus Street and decrying a day for Italians while ordering pizza.
That’s cultural appropriation by the way
Or whatever the **** it’s called
The denizens of Chicago elected the piece of crap mayor let them suffer the consequences. Granted the alternatives were just as bad with runner up Prickwrinkle being a virtual clone of Lightfoot.
I believe that for the most part representative government works if you have a corrupt ignorant Marxist jackass for mayor then the majority of the voters are corrupt ignorant Marxist jackasses
I read the other day that their are 18 million Americans of Italian decent or partial Italian decent.
I don’t think too many of them will be voting for biden.
But I could be wrong.
5%. There’d be a lot more of us but somewhere in the early nineteen hundreds Congress thought it was a good idea to stop us from coming and let more Central Americans come.
That worked out great.
There are several hundred thousand of us on the South shore of Staten island. Trump won by only 57% because Obama’s sons on the other side voted 95 to 5 Hillary.
we wised up to the identity politics of Democrats in the 1960s my father told me. I would imagine over all Italians go in large numbers for the Republican.
There is no love lost between blacks and Italians. For nearly every terrible black neighborhood in Staten island and Brooklyn you can go back 50 or more years and find out there was once a beautiful Italian neighborhood.
But the South shores is ours. No projects. Not letting any be built.
De Blasio had ideas. No stone would have stood after the first story was built
Now she is saying she welcomes Trump agents to Chicago, after mass shooting yesterday.
How do we know the bitch hasn’t tried? 😁👍🤣😀🤗🌻
I’m 3rd generation 100% Italian. Most of my family are Republican’s.
As Reagan said “I didn’t leave the Democrat party, they left me”. That applies to most Italian’s that I know.
The Democrats have gone bat-shit crazy. They have an outright hatred of the country and of Western Civilization. I suspect they have always had it but Trump has driven them crazy to the point where they can’t hide it anymore.
Going to be an ugly, rough year. Take care.
Ciao!
There is a policy. Always has been
It’s called ELECTIONS.
The voters in the city are getting EXACTLY what they voted for.
Lightfoot successfully lied her way through the mayoral election and posed as a “moderate” in opposition to the openly reverse racist Preckwinkle. Once in office, however, Lightfoot dropped her masquerade and went full Communist.
Interpret the riot clause in the insurance policies for her by Tom Tom if necessary.
Well she's a proud and public lesbian so ...
Representative government only works, when the people who DON'T work don't get to vote for goodies for themselves.
200 years ago, in most states, you only got to vote if you were a property owner of some sort, which still included 80% of the people.
I'll say this: Chicago is getting exactly what it voted for. Let 'em have it. Far as I'm concerned, let the gangs run the city until election day. Make the Chicagoan's who voted that POS Kim Foxx in boot her from office. It's her and Tom Dart's policies that created the revolving door in the court system called "no bail policy" that's a big factor in the crime in Chicago right now.
If the dummies in Chicago don't vote out Kim Foxx then write Chicago off and continue putting the spotlight on that dummy Mayor Groot (Lightfoot) and let it go for another two and a half years until she's up for election.
In NO WAY should President Trump intervene or attempt to intervene in Chicago. The minute he steps in, he "owns it" and unless he can fix it (he cannot) he gets all the blame for Chicago and every other broken city going forward. He'd play right into the Democrats and liberal media hands if he intervenes. Please don't do it President Trump.
The idiots in Chicago voted for this mess, make them vote themselves out of it.
“”As Reagan said “I didn’t leave the Democrat party, they left me”. That applies to most Italian’s that I know.”””””
Jane Wyman divorced Reagan due to politics. Maybe she put him on the right track.
“Wyman, who was a registered Republican, stated that their break-up was due to a difference in politics (Ronald Reagan was still a Democrat at the time)”
I live in Central Illinois. I doubt I will ever set foot in downtown Chicago or go to a sporting event in the city after this...
