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.”

“We are waking up in shock this morning...”

Maybe because you’ve been asleep since this chaos started.

Where is the part of the article that says Islamic terrorists were involved? cuz I know we got a ton of white animals out there lately and 80 per cent of the damage has been by White punks. I think we should worry about them more than the Muslims right now

We’ve all done it, that is one of the most frequent of errors.

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

Right. They are in the cutting edge vanguard of the new cashless society. Soon shoppers will not carry cash at all---these punks are just ahead of the curve. Also, no Covid on handled currency when they avoid cash. Smart.
