Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has accused stores of not taking adequate measures to prevent themselves from being victims of crime.

The mayor needs to spell out EXACTLY what she means by “adequate measures”. Otherwise, she’s just speaking more empty blame-the-victim nonsense.

I swear. That woman looks like she shoulda been on that “Z Nation” show. You know, where zombies took over then the common practice by surviving humans was to ‘mercy’ the zombies in the head?

Hanging criminals from the lamp post maybe a good start, right mayor. It would act as a warning to other criminals to steal from other areas. Bonus at this time of year, the stores could decorate with Christmas Ornaments to set a festive mood for the shoppers 😂

“What the retailers need is good old fashioned Mafia protection”
A town where I grew up was into illegal gambling and prositution run by the mob (not Italians) back in the 50’s to 70’s.
You could walk dow the street at 1 am with money hanging out of your pockets because Big Bill Lias and Paul Hankish ran off the criminals who would attract police scrutiny-though most of the cops were on the mobs payroll.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has accused stores of not taking adequate measures to prevent themselves from being victims of crime. It boggles my mind that someone would vote this level of idiocy.

Lori Lightfoot says it's the same with Asians who get beaten and kicked in the head by 20 black thugs... and women who get gang raped. If they really didn't want to be victims they could hire bodyguards... that's what SHE does..

Probably should shoot a few of the looters .. 3 or 4 should do it, then the rest would stay home.

blaming the victims - boy, does that sound familiar!!

It boggles my mind that someone would vote this level of idiocy. She's a gay Black Leftist in a deep Blue city, not surprising she gets votes. What boggles my mind is why anyone would want to live there who isn't raking in HUGE bucks.
