CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mayor Lori Lightfoot is threatening citations and potential jail time to residents failing to comply with the stay-at-home order as house parties continue to be held across the city.

With the weekend bringing warm weather, Chicago police broke up multiple large gatherings Friday night, including a house party with 150 guests.

"When you go out and party, when you go home to your momma, your grandma, or anybody in your household who has an underlying medical condition, you are bringing death to their doorstep," Lightfoot said. She said authorities are aware of more parties and gatherings planned for Saturday night.

"We will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail," Lightfoot said.

Lightfoot and Chicago police are asking residents to anonymously submit tips about any house parties at cpdtip.com.

This bitch has been seen driving around personally yelling at people standing too close together. She’s insane.

Did anyone watch the remotes of prospective draftees during the NFL Draft? House after house after house of 6 or 8 people huddled around a sofa waiting for the player’s name to be called - hugging, kissing once they learn junior is about to become a rich man. No masks in sight. No social distancing.

But we did all get lectures before the start of the draft from President Fauci and NFL players advising all of us to shelter in place and curl up in a fetal position sucking our thumbs until President Fauci says we can come out.

Easy to report an anonymous tip there. Like if the mayor got a haircut. See for yourself.

*ahem*

But not if you wait with hundreds of strangers in line at the local grocery store, no CCPVirus their, only house parties at night.

Claude Lightfoot was a leader of the Communist Party USA. While I don’t see any family connection to him by the mayor, she acts just like a communist so it must be in the name.

I wonder if “Lightfoot” actually is a code word for “light in the loafers”?

It’s great to know that Chicago has finally cleared up all their major crimes like murder and assault and etc so that they now have all the time they need to play wet nurse maid for mayor Lori Lightinthehead and arrest folks just wanting to have a good time.

There aren’t enough hairstylists in the world to make this creature “look good for the cameras.”

Like most things involving encounters with the Poo-Lease, they get 90% of what theey need from an initial conversation with you. “Who are these folks in your living room?” “What are they doing here?” “Where are you going?” “Where have you been?” “Where do you work?” “What do you do?” “What time do you get off?” “Is this your car?”

Answering none of these questions and no others except for your name and ID will leave the police with their Johnson in hand and nothing to write in the block for “probable cause.”

Just sayin.

Why don’t they confiscate some illegal guns and drugs while they’re in there busting up the party?

Channel 7 the ABC Station in Chicago is completely in the tank for Mayor Lighthead - if she told the news anchors to get on all fours and bark like a dog, their response would be “arf arf”

I wouldn’t be surprised if she meant the citations and arrests for the police for having dared to break up black parties.
