The problem is that Lightfoot is a radical, much like New York City's De Blasio, who hates the police and refuses to maintain law and order. After Lightfoot failed to halt arson, rioting and looting in the Loop (the downtown business district), her response was to demand that insurance companies pay for the damages and losses.

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.

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

Now she is saying she welcomes Trump agents to Chicago, after mass shooting yesterday.

Interpret the riot clause in the insurance policies for her by Tom Tom if necessary.

I don't know how many on this thread live in Illinois or in/around the Chicago area however I do. I'm 25-30 miles southwest of Chicago.

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.

All these posts stating Chicagoans are getting exactly what they deserve are exactly right - they voted for this idiot, and now (and in the future) they’ll be paying the price.

But what those posts miss is that Chicago is the canary in the coal mine - it’s what we’re headed for nationally if people don’t get their spit together. There are a whole bunch of Chicagoans who want no part of this insanity - but they haven’t got a chance of reversing it, at least not now. Every single one the 50 city councilman is a Democrat - for all intents and purposes there is no Republican Party in Chicago. Individuals with conservative leanings on the Southwest and Northwest sides, even blacks and Hispanics with traditional values have essentially NO means of influencing policy in the city. And as that one-party dictatorship starts to seep into the collar counties the whole damn state is starting to disintegrate.

That’s what the Democrats have in New York City, and that’s what the Democrats have in California, and that’s what the Democrats want for the country as a whole - a reliable pack of voters in the underclass and a system of corruption that will keep them in power forever (see Venezuela for the denouement).

Unless we reverse that trend nationally (Trump in 2020 is an absolute must), Chicago is where we are headed. And it’s my personal opinion that we absolutely must have strong spokesmen in the Black community and Hispanic community to keep their people from getting sucked into this scam at a national scale - ultimately it’s those communities that end up paying the highest price in this situation, which again is illustrated in what’s going on in Chicago.

Imagine if the president ordered his fbi not to make arrests of his political allies if they were breaking the law. The left would impeach him.
