Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot slammed looters and rioters who descended upon the downtown area early Monday morning, calling the overnight events “an assault on our city” and telling criminals, “We are coming for you.”

Police said more than 100 people were arrested and at least 13 officers were hurt over the course of the events.

“We are waking up in shock this morning,” Lightfoot said. “These individuals engaged in what can only be described as brazen and extensive criminal looting and destruction. And to be clear, this had nothing to do with legitimate, protected First Amendment expression.”

Nothing will happen.

Groot will only enforce social distancing violations.

‘We are coming for you’

Translation: The law abiding people are going to loose liberties. The looters are going to get slapped on the wrist.

[Diogenesis]

give me a break.

the Chicago criminals, Antifa and BLM and Islamic terrorists,
goaded by the mayor, descend upon the city
and “lightfoot” [i.e. steal through broken glass]
everything in sight, and the mayor actually
expects to act “surprised”?

Clear as MUD. You allow the daily murders in your city but only awaken when rich and influential donators businesses are at risk. Mixed messages, kinda like Black Lives Matters, which means other lives don't, non sensical.

What’s that old line about a conservative being a liberal who got mugged by reality?

Her wording is almost identical to Trump’s comments on the same subject over the past few months.

Suggestion: she could save herself a lot of effort by just retweeting Trump.

Crime would go down there if gun ownership were illegal..../s

[manc]

Maybe she needs to get her census cowboy on this, since she seemed more concerned with the census than the rioting

The monster they created and nurtured has decided to bite it’s handler. That is the real reason they are upset.

The Left overlords will straighten her out soon. Party agenda comes first, local citizens don’t matter.

Looting?? WTF is she talking about? They were peaceful protesters on a Midnight Shopping Spree.
