Dictatorial Democrat Chicago mayor threatens anyone who disobeys lockdown: ‘We will shut you down, we will take you to jail’

70

More tyranny from the Democrat Party. They are rapidly eroding our liberties with impunity. This must be fought. Protests are not good enough. Americans who value our way of life must make the tyrannical Democrat Party pay at the ballot box in November. #Trump2020! #GOP2020!

Chicago mayor threatens anyone who disobeys lockdown: ‘We will shut you down, we will take you to jail’

‘We are not playing games. We mean business, and we will shut this down one way or another’

Story continues below advertisement

By The Blaze, May 3, 2020

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot threatened to issue citations and even arrest anyone who violated stay-at-home orders. Lightfoot issued a strong warning to her constituents who don’t comply with the lockdown orders during a COVID-19 press conference on Saturday.

“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. “Don’t make us treat you like a criminal, but if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and you refuse to do what is necessary to save lives in this city in the middle of a pandemic we will take you to jail, period.”

Lightfoot said that compliance with the stay-at-home order has gone down from 82% to 77% over the last week.

“This frankly doesn’t come as a surprise, given the warm weather. We’ve all been cooped up. We all miss our friends, and we all want to go outside and gather in groups,” Lightfoot said. “However, those aspirations simply cannot become a reality in the middle of a pandemic.”

Not to be rude but I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the mentality of the majority of demonrat voters. Bath-house Barry Sotero is a deity to them.
The ONE is accepted as their lord and savior far surpassing ANY religious figure or even God Himself as an object of adoration in their dark, wicked, hearts.
I dare you to try reasoning with them……..for your own safety make sure there’s a round in the chamber if you do.

“if you act like a criminal and you violate the law”. Just becasue you signed a piece of paper does not make it a law. Did the State Legislature send a bill to your desk to sign? OR did you make something up and then sign it saying it is law? Hmmmm….

Actions may turn out to have no basis in law, but the process goes on. A police officer has to follow what they are told, unless they know their order was illegal. Right now, every mayor and every governor seems to want to “one-up” their peers. I am sure many have crossed the line.
When you empty jails to make room for violaters of distancing rules, you must consider yourself a lame-duck. People will never appreciate your effort. Jailing violators because you think they are risking their life is a miscarriage of justice, and the voters should not only remember, but bring suit when the time comes.

I keep hearing more and more how these governors claim that they will lock people up and also where LEO are arresting or issuing tickets. And yet nobody can site ONE US Code, state statute, or law that authorizes any of these orders. They can recommend all day long but to arrest or demand there has to be a LAW!!!!!! So what are they siting as their authorization????

Shouldn’t this lesbo mayor be more concerned about all the murders and real crime in her city? Isn’t Chicago the murder capital of the U.S.? Why is she letting over 1300 CRIMINALS out of prison to protect them from the viris if she cares so much about people? Never mind.

In fact Pritzker (Illinois Governor) let out 4,000 criminals from Rockford jail (1 hr drive from Chicago). He maid the warning to Rockford residents to stay tune and not to hang around. Since all these 4,000 mob will let go to nowhere. There are 64 convicted murderers in this group.

What does the current administration have to do with Left Wingnut Regressive (Democrat Party) mayors?

I’ve yet to see any orders, coming from the Trump Administration, that remotely resemble what totalitarian fascists (Democrat Party members) are doing.

Of course, that’s FAR too difficult for a PRETEND engineer to grasp.

Their excuse is the pandemic but they fail to realize Trump left the use of excessive force on their shoulders not his.

Problem is the moral rot has seeped into and infected every nook and cranny of this once great and righteous land. Today there are legions of police officers who will oppress their fellow citizens without any twinge of guilt.
For them there no longer exists any Divine Law higher than those passed by corrupt politicians.

Well …

Let’s try and motivate all healthy fellow citizens, who deny the unconstitutional measures of mayors, governors etc., to leave apartments, houses etc. and go out on streets and public places on MAY 10th 2020 at noon.
After 1 hour all businesses should be opened at once – as much as possible and in which way ever.

If the “governmental authorities” don’t react adequately and restore the people’s constitutional rights 100 % – we do it every day.

No Police, no National Guard, no Army would ever be able to stop that.

Being on new ground, we do not know how much power the mayor or a governor has from a legal standpoint. We have seen them issue edicts, and so far, we have not had a chance to challenge them in court. The question remains, “Do they have the legal authority to order non-criminals into house arrest?”
The idea is to protect the masses, but nobody knows how the CV issue will play out. We don’t know exactly how deadly it is, or how many have died as a direct result of infection.
This much we do know: Some of us choose to work in dangerous positions, and it is allowed by law. The jobs of police officers are hazardous, but so is that of a lumberjack. What about an electrician? We are allowed to do dangerous work, and we have also paid those who risk their lives a little extra because of that danger. The point is, it is acceptable to live dangerously. Nobody has ever stopped it before, and Americans have always had that choice until now.
The “leaders” of a community have a responsibility to their constituents to keep them reasonably safe, but there has to be a limit to that authority. To the extent that we do not allow people to harm other people, choices are reasonably clear what can be approved. Some of these leaders have overstepped their authority, or are unwilling to listen to the people who they are supposed to work for.
Give us back our voice. Give us our freedom. We did not break any laws. We re allowed to fight tyranny. We must remember that we have a right to assemble granted by our Constitution. Remember that we are a Republic, run by laws, and not a “flavored” “Democracy” run by mob-rule. In this case, Democracy means fair rules enacted for all to enjoy.

Does she not know that the curve has been flattened – that the virus is in decline? I’d bet my house she does. “if you act like a criminal and you violate the law” – meanwhile they’re letting criminals out of jail. When government starts locking up innocent people but are letting criminals loose, you know it is no longer a health issue.
