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.”

The hounds of our liberties have been loosed, while the looters lose nothing.

The putz in Durbin’s office

They really think that this rioting

doesn’t warrant deploying the national guard.

Amazing how much you can communicate, with only the phrase "I am Groot."

lori lighthead allowed the rioters to do whatever they want. It’s too late now. It blamed Trump for the violence and refused help. It is totally responsible for it all now, and no triple get-out-of-jail free card for it!

“And to be clear, this had nothing to do with legitimate, protected First Amendment expression.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You did not make that clear previously........

Clear as mud when they call riots, looting and arson mostly peaceful, can't blame people for being confused.

Blacks are killing other blacks in Chicago at a record pace, and the mayor does nothing. Rich, white people get their stores looted, and the mayor gets tough. I’m sure that will go over well with the BLM crowd!

None of them will be charged by the filthy Soros Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx.

“We are waking up in shock this morning,” Lightfoot said.

After 79 days of violence and looting in Portland, all the fancy stores on Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue looted and vandalized in NYC and Louisville and other places filled with angry leftist mobs-----she now is shocked? Must have been watching Gilligan's Island and Price Is Right reruns all night. Everyone else knows what's going on but her.

Those arrested probably have lying ahead of them 40 lashes with a wet noodle administered by a bikini-clad swimsuit model. /sarc

as long as they stand by and let the rioters do their worst, and then immediately release anyone they arrest .. this will continue.

Antifa rioters and criminal looters are organized and waiting in every Democrat controlled city for any opportunity to strike. If they can drum up some useful idiot protesters as cover so much the better. Until the cities start treating the rioters and looters as the gangs of terrorists and criminals that they are this will only continue and get worse.
