Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot may have exempted herself from her own prohibition on haircuts, but she made and carried out drastic, and probably illegal, threats against a church that announced its plans to hold Sunday services yesterday. Evidently, only important people like the mayor get to exercise their constitutional rights.
CBS Chicago covered the mayor's threats on Saturday:
People heading to Philadelphia Romanian Church in Ravenswood on Sunday might have a hard time finding a parking spot.
Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said no-parking signs have been put up for several surrounding blocks near the church at 1713 W. Sunnyside Ave. The signs have been mounted on Sunnyside Avenue between Greenview and Ravenswood avenues, and Paulina Street between Lawrence and Berteau avenues, Martin's office said.
The parking ban is in effect from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, according to Martin's office.

Yep. Pure Nazi
No both are Totalitarian B’s
She fears Christians more than she fears other criminals.
Yes. And the ComDem had best be careful for what they wish.
We are not like they think we are.
We may not have agreed with Daley’s political view points but he was sane compared to this nut job. Chicago may never recover.
“Sounds like there are enough of these no parking signs to make a nice little fire on the steps of city hall.”
I think they only put them on the corners. One sheet of paper stapled to telephone poles.
Never recover?
Never discount what can happen you least expect it.
We do not control these evil things.
And yet I find nothing about this in today’s Tribune online edition. I wonder why that is . . .
Deprivation of rights under color of law.
Yes. And Great Evil with it.
Not on the agenda.
They may know what the damage will be if it is spread.
They’re busy furloughing their employees.
I think she’s furious that “her people” on the south and west sides have been openly flouting her social-distancing/no-public-gatherings edicts, and it’s gotten into the news. Witness that huge house party on the west side, complete with strippers, that was streamed on Facebook Live...that REALLY made the news here, and she practically had smoke coming out of her ears at the pressers that followed.
Of course, she can’t punish “her people”, let alone control them, so she’s been taking out her anger on the “lakefront liberals” and north side whites that supported her, but tend to epitomize Tom Wolfe’s metaphor of “crushed nuts rolled in Brie” from his essay “Radical Chic”...and all they want to do is jog along the lakefront and use the parks, which she refuses to do.
Does the typical voter in these cities simply don’t care or many just don’t bother to vote? WTF is that thing running Chicago?
Or hang her in effigy.
The response alone would be worth the fun.
Oh no, that’s not it...7-9 a.m. on Sunday morning is when the coronavirus is at is deadliest....oh wait...
Mayor Lori Lightfoot is just another flakey democrat!
