Chicago mayor tells residents to stop using cash if they don't want to keep getting mugged

They don’t steal credit cards in Chicago?

[popdonnelly]

Chicagoans vote for this crap.

[nuconvert]

“Perhaps, but that wouldn’t make her advice any less inane.”

No, it just makes the headlines inaccurate & misleading.

[moovova]

Unless you carry a sign around your neck that says “I’m not carrying cash.”, how would the mugger know?

[Roccus]

NO RADIO

NO MONEY

NO NOTHING

Old NYers will remember this.

“credit card thefts are solved yearly”

The article I gave you was from mid last year on solving rate. And at a rate of 1%, that leaves the other 99% unsolved. It’s very easy to use a fraudulent card as stores don’t look at signatures or ask for other ID. Some people used to print “see ID” on their cards. But the major cards went to court and got a judge to say if that is what they say is their identifying signature, then it passes the test. And if the crook is stupid enough not to sign a blank card because some people left it blank thinking the store would look at it, then they probably fall under that 1%.

I tear the signature tape off my card and use erasable ink to black out the signature spot. This makes the card un-usable until I show ID. I have no problem with showing ID to protect myself. But the perp will.

Doesn’t she realize that the existence of the street vendors is the problem. Get rid of them, then they and their ex-customers won’t exist to be mugged. “Close down all street vendors” should be her new campaign theme.

[ansel12]

They don’t know that you don’t have the cash until they are robbing you.

I guess she means eventually in a couple of decades perhaps, the street robbery will fade out, unless of course your watch, purse, shoes, jewelry, coat, cashmere sweater, dog, expensive baby carriage, or fancy hat, your phone, or nice briefcase, or whatever else you choose to wear or carry can be seen as having monetary value.

[Stop using cash.

Lightfoot suggested those afraid of being mugged opt to use digital forms of payments instead.]

Oh yeah. I like where this is going. Not.

Hong Kong Protests Show Dangers of a Cashless Society

[Reactions to Lightfoot’s comments generated a flurry of criticism, including arguments the Chicago Mayor was setting the stage for “a cashless society.”]

The (temporary) god of this world, Satan, will love it. Be sure to read the comments I make before the pic - Things are lining up EXACTLY as Scripture has foretold dear friends (see my FR homepage for more information)

Now for a canned post (I am posting this as further proof of the times we are living in):

--------------------------------------------------------

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM SOMETHING I HAVE SAVED FOR THESE TOPICS - SO THAT THOSE WITH EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR MAY SEE AND HEAR

The real shame of it, I'm very sorry to say, is the following. The man got further than anyone, using the exact words the Scripture has prophesied. Words used by Hillary, Barack, Bibi, United Nations people, Tony Blair, etc. etc. etc. This (when confirmed by the Man of Lawlessness) will unleash the 7-years of Tribulation upon the Earth and there will be no shutting it down. Not until the actual Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this Earth.

And then shall the "god of this world" be finally dethroned, along with the kings of the Earth that followed him. And in the middle of that 7 years, the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18, Revelation 14:9-12). Then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was.

The following is composed from a previous post of mine. This is where this old world is headed my friends; it will not be stopped; for it was prophesied from old. It will....wait for it...come to pass. Exactly as the Lord has prophesied. All events will eventually (duh) lead to the Scripture being fulfilled. I can only pray to be worthy by the blood of Christ (Luke 21:34-36; Hebrews 1:3).

I hate to post it but my duty to the Lord comes first (in whatever small way it might wake some people up) - >>>Now I DON'T know that he's THE guy<<< - simply pointing out that the groundwork is being laid - EXACTLY as God's Holy Word in the Bible predicted.

“if you are a credit card theft victim, your chances of getting your money back are almost negligible.”

Lol.

I have had unauthorized charges on my credit card over the years—several of them.

In every case the credit card company ate the loss—I got the money back.

They issued a new card and everything was fine.

They are coming out swinging at physical currency right now.

Leave Chicago if you don’t want to keep getting mugged. Or emulate Charles Bronson and Bernard Goetz, if you can.

[whitney69]

Federal law, by way of 15 U.S.C. §1643, limits cardholders’ liability to $50 in the event of credit card theft. But most banks will even waive this amount if the cardholder signs an affidavit explaining the theft. You shouldn’t get some flack from a bank. But most of the banks don’t own their cards so it isn’t anything to them.

I haven’t seen a clerk even look at the back of a card in forever. Certainly never when using the reader yourself like nearly all are now.

[oldasrocks]

Why don’t she tell people to just take whatever they want from the street venders? No cash, no credit cards needed that way.

Post signs and pictures of anyone working for the guberment with Captions says THESE PEOPLE CARRY CASH.

[NorthMountain]

the police issue a notice that any citizen who shoots somebody with a felony record, the police will presume lawful self defense

Gotta replace Groot with a sane human being first.

[whitney69]

“I haven’t seen a clerk even look at the back of a card in forever.”

Interesting part is I talked to an attorney friend and I showed him the card and he smiled and said I’ve heard about that but it hasn’t been challenged yet.

All cards used to have the “not valid unless signed” statement on them. But some people like me asked what is not valid unless signed? If it said this card was not, which none of then did, then they have identified what is not valid. With contracts they can create a loophole by what they did with this. You won’t find that statement on most of the majors anymore. But you probably will identifying it as a the card being issued on your application. This is one of the reasons they won’t give a person under 18 a card as the youth cannot be held responsible for the money spent contractually. It’s a big game.

I wonder what weaponry this pig woman’s body guards carry daily so she is safe in Chicago? I have learned to despise demon rats of all sexes, ages, and styles.
