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

During a crime summit on Monday at the University of Illinois in Chicago, Lightfoot said she was disappointed with stores on Michigan Avenue, a popular shopping and tourist destination. She said they were not making security a priority and taking adequate measures to prevent theft.

The Golden Rectangle of Government: making two stupid mistakes instead of one, three instead of two, five instead of three, eight instead of five, thirteen … well you know.

[New Perspective]

I agree. 2 people drowning is not an improvement over 1 person drowning.

“Her ‘leadership’ has created a power vacuum in that town.”

She’s toast politically, and will not be re-elected mayor. Even many Democrats that voted for her can’t stand her now.

The next mayor of Chicago will be Hispanic: Raymond Lopez.

[steve in DC]

Basically she has declared retail businesses to be “attractive nuisances “.

[Lurker]

She will change her tune with a few shopkeepers shoot some of these savages.

they pay taxes that are suppose to go towards policing!!!!

instead its going to free condoms, free drugs, free crap of every kind to the losers and criminals!

At least the free condoms reduce the population of future thugs. All the other stuff is useless.

I'd bet my life Lightfoot couldn't pass a HS Civics 101 course.

She's the benchmark for the depths of Liberal stupidity.

Black water has some guys looking for some extra work.

Sounds like she’s calling for vigilate justice since her government won’t do it’s job.

• Illinois bill proposes to strip unvaxxed of their health insurance
• Philadelphia Tries to Ban ‘Racist’ Bulletproof Glass [no longer a COVID barrier?]

A real journalist would have asked something along these lines:

“So, Madame Mayor, if a business owner shoots a few of the people who are in his store swinging hammers would that be too little, too much, or just about right?”

Then sit back and enjoy the show.

Hi.

The retailers are caught between a rock and a hard place.

If they defend themselves against being murdered, then there isn’t much time left to defend your store.

Lightfoot and a gnat had an IQ test. The gnat scored higher... 🤓

Also the following scored higher: a box of rocks, manure, and the mummy of King Tut...

Then sit back and enjoy the show.

Her bug eyes would probably swell up and pop right out of her head.

[Trillian]

They won’t put the criminals in jail and keep them there. So much projection from this genetic freak communist.

[Trillian]

I love that show.

[ken in texas]

Ditto. I have all the episodes on a hard drive, so I binge watch every now and then.

[JimRed]

Allow store employees to be armed. Indemnify them against any charges or lawsuits brought against them for resisting robberies. Enough dead robbers will bring the crime rate down.
