Mayor Lightfoot introduced an amendment Wednesday that would permanently ban Chicago stores from selling beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks after 10 p.m.
In April 2020, Lightfoot instituted the controversial 9 p.m. liquor curfew in Chicago to prevent residents from gathering outside during the coronavirus pandemic. Stores had been allowed to stay open until 2 a.m. most days and 3 a.m. Saturdays before the pandemic. The city revived the early curfew in October to combat a second wave of COVID-19 cases.
Now, as Chicago enters the final phase of the COVID-19 reopening plan, Lightfoot wants to make the 10 p.m. curfew permanent. She said it would curb crimes and disturbances outside stores, as well as boost the pandemic-decimated hospitality industry by potentially driving more people into bars and restaurants if they want a drink after 10 p.m.

These people are genetically incapable of knowing of, and be embarrassed by, their utter stupidity.
Hey, why don’t we just ban alcohol? That could work.
In Chicago? In the '20s? What could go wrong? :-D
“What it will do is force people to buy 3 12 packs at 9:59PM instead of 1.”
That’s what I was thinking. Buy up bigly before 10:00. It’s much like that law in NY where you couldn’t buy a super sized drink. So people would buy two smaller ones to equal a large one, and that was OK.
Democrats are SO STUPID!
A good start would be to restrict drug sales after 10 P.M. Anybody caught selling drugs would face a $10,000 fine and six months in jail.
It is amazing what one political party can get away with when they have a complicit media on their side.
It would feel good to do it. Hell with the results.
No it won’t.
They’ll just rob the liquor store.
So they will buy it at 9pm instead. Yeah this will work. All this seahag is doing is destroying bars. Vote Stupid! Get Stupid!
Is this lady a grade school dropout? This nutcase thinks NOT SELLING liquors after 10pm will help the crime rate? Mrs. O’Leary’s cow needs to kick over the lantern, and we shouldn’t rebuild it... 😀
Nothing she will or can do will alter the trend towards higher and higher crime rates, and horrific murder statistics. She is singularly incompetent, and cannot change what she is, a failure.
“Swordfish!”
One of their funniest scenes.
Because nobody stocks up.
Right.
Not a great observer of human nature, is she.
Man wants to get high, he’s gonna get high.
Deny him the legal drug, he will find, quite easily in fact, an illegal substitute; Meth, Ecstasy, Heroin, Bath Salts...
If you’re lucky, he’ll choose pot and at least be non-violent. If you are lucky.
Just defund the pooleece and open the jails...the aoc dumorat solution...
Wait. You mean you have to pay for the booze in Chi-town? Wait. You mean if close the party store, folks can’t just bust in later?
Confused in South Chicago.
“She said the move would curb crime.”
Nothing will curb crime in Democratcago.
Oh, sorry, that was Portland.
