A good Samaritan who saved a young couple that was brutally assaulted by an out-of-control mob during Chicago’s “Teen Takeover” has hit out at the city’s outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot, accusing her of trying to downplay the violence.
“I’m sorry, Lightfoot. I voted for you… but I can’t be involved in any level of sugarcoating what I saw,” Lenora Dennis told Fox News’ Garrett Tenney. “That was mayhem.”
Dennis was responding to Lightfoot’s comments arguing that what happened in downtown Chicago last weekend was not “mayhem.”
“The mass majority of the young people who came downtown, came downtown because there was great weather and it was an opportunity to enjoy the city,” the Democrat told a WGN9 reporter. “That’s absolutely, entirely appropriate.”
Lightfoot conceded that there were “a few” people who came with “different intentions,” but she insisted that it was wrong to describe the situation as “mayhem.”

She may be a hero, but she's not too bright if she voted for Groot.
Wow, she is brave! She must have to wade into a group of young people intent on brutality!
And as for Lightfoot... not mayhem? Beating people up, jumping on cars and breaking the windows? What would have to happen for her to call something mayhem, maybe just the color of the marauders’ skin?
And the newly elected mayor: let’s not demonize all youth for the actions of a few, but why not demonize those who commit criminal acts?;
You ain’t seen nothing yet.

We are given a chance for honest, sincere repentance and to rise above our sins. Although the number of Dem voters who do that are few they could become our version of the other side’s “useful idiots.” When Reagan won almost every state there had to be some voters who had sinful pasts of voting all Dem all the time.
Something will have to cause this in 2024, reparations, brink of world war, forced climate change restrictions on daily life, the taking away of parents rights over children, curtailment of freedom of speech, vicious violent crime and mobs. Something.
I think we finally are seeing the limits of the Dems’ “free stuff” voting appeal. Its not much good having a bunch of free stuff if it just means you’re the next target for getting beaten or killed.
I wonder why neither the Sun Times nor the Tribune have reported this part of the Good Samaritan’s statement . . .
When can she expect Biden’s phone call?
BWA-HA-HA!
