Lightfoot refused to elaborate on the specific threats, but said she receives them daily against herself, her wife and her home. Comparisons to how the Police Department has protected previous mayors homes, such as Rahm Emanuels Ravenswood residence, are unfair because this is a different time like no other, Lightfoot told reporters.

I have a right to make sure that my home is secureSeriously, did she say that?!
So she has to secure her home from rioters, while everybody else can take the brunt of these "mostly peaceful protests".
She can also get her hair done by a professional, while everyone else is not allowed to do that.
One thing I find about these lefties is that they either don't care about showing this elitism, or they are incapable of introspection and self awareness. Their followers are also dumb enough not to question these decisions. They keep voting for the same tired, broken, failed, highly corrupt people.

If you lived in Illinois you’d know, because she references it just about every half hour or so.
