‘I’m Not Playing’: Chicago Mayor Threatens Citations And Arrests For People Ignoring Stay-At-Home Orders
Daily Caller ^ | 5/4/2020 | Virginia Kruta

Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot threatened citations and arrests for those who failed to comply with stay-at-home orders and held parties instead.

“I’m not playing. Stay home (your own home). Save lives,” Lightfoot tweeted along with a video of her statement Saturday.

Lightfoot was previously criticized for getting a haircut — and taking a photo with her stylist that ignored social distancing recommendations — despite the fact that she was telling her constituents to stay home.

I love it when people who vote for socialists get smacked in the face with socialism.

I am pretty sure the open air drug markets and illegal alien gatherings will not be touched.

Such poor leadership. This just makes it more likely that people will want to be defiant.

Let’s arrest peaceful tax paying citizens, meanwhile the street gangs and drug dealers run wild.

She is only threatening white people, fully aware that they will submit.

Mayor Lightfoot, have you considered enforcing the law that prohibits shooting people? Even in Illinois, that law is an actual statute with some serious penalties. Someone is shooting and killing many persons in your city. We don’t know who shoots them because you rarely ever make arrests. But we do know that the shooters and killers must hate black Chicagoans, especially young men, the overwhelming majority of victims. By the way, if it helps, most of the shooters probably have to leave home to shoot their victims. I notice little decline in the shootings during this shutdown, so your police department needs to increase enforcement of the no-murder and no-shooting laws. Or are they complicit anti-black racists too?

Of course this does not include the brothers neighborhood where they are free to keep shooting each other, with or without a mask.

I think the root cause of this power thing with leftists is since they have rejected God in their life they have to act like God. The Paradox is when they try to act like God, they act totally the opposite. Instead of Love they have hate in their heart.

And nobody is going to enforce closing Mosques or them keeping distance.

She’s doing worsee than that.

Broke Chicago is offering bribes for snitching.

Second City Cop has an interesting post on it.

Meanwhile you can sit on a plane, but not in a pew.

Chicago & Illinois has been a cesspool of EVIL of a long time. Where’s Barry? Like Islam...once you conquer a territory you never give it up. If it’s taken from you...it is your mission to take it back. Sorry state captives.

Kinda like the murder rate in Baltimore. Entire state is on lockdown and the homicide rate is holding steady at record levels
