Horrible. Remember that a vote for Joe Biden in November is a vote for this carnage to come to your city.

By Breitbart, August 17, 2020
Story continues below advertisementAt least 50 people were shot, five fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 reported that the shootings began about 6 p.m. Friday and continued until just before midnight Sunday. A 12-year-old boy and numerous teens were among the wounded.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that the 12-year-old was shot in the leg just after 8 p.m. Saturday night, while with a “group of males in the 6400 block of South Ellis Avenue.”
A 16-year-old was shot just before midnight Friday while standing outside “in the 4400 block of South Hermitage Avenue.” He was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to his hip. Another 16-year-old was shot Saturday night around 10 p.m. as he “stood outside in the 500 block of East 47th Street.” He was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg.
ABC 7 reports the first fatal shooting of the weekend occurred just after 8 p.m. Friday, when a 48-year-old man who had been fatally shot was discovered “in West Pullman on the Far South Side.”
The next fatality was a 28-year-old fatally shot just after 11 p.m., followed by an 18-year-old who was fatally shot Saturday night just before 10:30 p.m, and a man in his mid-20’s found “unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at 5:05 a.m.” Sunday.
The Sun-Times reports that a 29-year-old man was fatally shot and found on the sidewalk about 12:50 a.m. [Monday] in the 2400 block of South Trumbull Avenue.”
To date, Mayor Lightfoot has rejected offers of federal help to quell Chicago’s violence. As recently as August 10, 2020, Breitbart News reported Lightfoot’s announcement that she does not want “federal troops” in her city. Rather, she wants more gun control.

Ironic as it may be to quote Al Jolson,
“Wait a minute, wait a minute, I tell yer, you ain’t heard/seen nothin’ yet.
”.
Death, murder, mayhem, anarchy, terrorist, Marxist factions are engulfing America’s cities. Thanks to the perfidious Democrats, America is on the cusp of succumbing to the autocratic dogmas of the said faux-Democrats, and its legions of evildoers.
The equally treasonous MSM propagates the Big-Lie regarding the ‘burn baby burn’ ideology of BLM, ANTIFA, and others decimating the Constitutional Republic. These fractious movements did not arise by coincidence but designed by the malevolent, subversive machination of the faux-Democrats, George Soros, Barack Obama, and copious others.
The Republic has not suffered such desecration, alienation since the Civil War, the harbinger of the present Civil War that is happening throughout the Republic. The latter may not reach the magnitude of the former presently; however, it will, as the Democrats and its conspiracists ensue their endeavor to overthrow the Republic.

But watch Chicago keep voting democrat. Guess they are willing to let their loved ones (?) die for their cause. Well it’s for sure that Lightfoot couldn’t care less about the dead or that many are her/his own color. They sure aren’t a respecter of the lives of anyone, much less their own. But then Lori and Amy can’t be parents and are probably trying to pay the world back for that. Does the evil ever show through that woman/or whatever…

I habitually earn around $6,000-$8,000 each and every 30 days over the internet. It is absolutely more than enough to freely replace my last workplace salary, precisely taking into account I actually work about 20 hour or so in one week in a home office. I have obviate my occupation after doing job for only one organisation for several years, I wanted quite reliable revenue. I was not analyzing for generate income programs which promises to make you rich in only few days that you find all over the web. Probably the most exciting part of carrying out work on the web is that I’m always home with the kids and also spend a lot free time with my relatives on various amazing beaches of the attractive nations. Honestly,it is actually simpler than you would think, all you need to do is submit a very simple form to obtain front line access to the Home Profit System. The directions are in very straightforward language, you dont need to become a computer guru, but you should have skills to make use of internet. It is as easy as being on Youtube. Here’s the only way to start ===> http://wunkit.com/6UsaAA

Great job Lori (Mayor Lesbo). You are definitely competing with Mayor Wheeler (mayor Antifa) and Mayor DiBlasio (Mayor Stoner) for P.O.S. Mayor of the Century

@MayorChicago @LoriLightfoot Its time to start pulling in every gangbanger residing in Chicago with the CPD working with the FBI using RICO which is applicable in the drug cases and you will see the shootings reduced 90%.

I would guess the commoners living in the war zones are pleading for forceful intervention. But Mayor Loony Leadfoot cares nothing for the mounting casualties, and “collateral damage”. In her-ideology-crazed mind, innocent “Black Lives [don’t] Matter”.

It almost seems like you have tp be some kind of sex pervert to run for office if you are a democom and being ugly as sin appears to be another requirement..

I wonder how Lori Lightfoot’s spouse, Amy, feels about what is going on in Chicago? Never hear anything about her. But then probably birds of a father since they are same gender…

Gun control, yes, nothing more satisfying than using both hands for a clear, clean, shot.

50 shot, 5 died.
Man…opening up a range for target practice would make a killing. Big bucks.
Chicago has a history of really good mayors. So this is the norm.

How is that any different from any other leftist city, it’s kinda like having
a Biff Tannen running every Democrat city.
