Angered by mounting parking ticket fines, a Chicago man repeatedly went to Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s home over the past month while armed and then fired shots from his truck about a mile from her residence on Wednesday morning, according to prosecutors and police records.

Lightfoot “became alarmed and distraught” when she learned of the man’s repeated visits to her home on Monday, Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said.

Joseph Igartua, 37, was ordered held without bail on felony charges of reckless discharge of a firearm and stalking by Judge Maryam Ahmad.

Igartua drove to Lightfoot’s home last Saturday and walked up to her home with a letter, but two CPD officers stationed outside the residence stopped him on the front sidewalk, Murphy said. He allegedly told them he went to the mayor’s home to express his anger about traffic citations.

Go after the mayor: “ordered held without bail on felony charges.”

Burn down cities and police precinct stations and four hours later: “You are free to go. Don’t do that again or else!”

The elite always consider themselves exceptions and special, deserving of privileged treatment.

They won’t be able to con God, though.

Sooner or later when the shit hits the fan it covers everyone within reach. When crime starts affecting the rich and famous and politicians then something will be done about it.
