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.

I know I shouldn't make fun, but the title made me think of The J. Giles Band immediately.

“we will arrest you and we will take you to jail,” Lightfoot said.”

Where they’ll be given I-bonds and walk out in a couple of hours.

Mayor Lightweight is the typical douchebag, trying to look like a mayor. Threats are just air coming from the pie hole.

Gee I certainly hope the Mayor's arrest patterns don't show any particular ethnic or racial bias.

"... anybody in your household who has an underlying medical condition..."

Even the MSM is starting to admit the CV isn't the murderer it is painted out to be.

tin-pot politician thinks he's got power exceeding that of congress.

So when are they going to shut them down and give citations? Seems like she is all talk and no action unless you are have the wrong racial makeup.

The leftist despots are getting nervous as they hear the drums of the angry, restless natives disturb their enjoyment of peaceful, quiet summer nights.

As spring glides into summer causing the days to lengthen and the weather to warm the American people are chafing at the bit and straining against the bonds that keep them locked up in their homes. There will be a spark igniting a conflagration that will consume the evil plans of the globalist left.
