The corrupt and radical Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot has blood on her hands. Many of Chicago’s citizens will die because of Lightfoot’s blatant negligence and incompetence. It is a travesty that Lightfoot is allowed to keep her job. Remember that the carnage and chaos that we see in Chicago and other Democrat cities will be coming to your city if the Democrats take power in November.

Lori Lightfoot Rejects National Guard in Chicago After Night of Looting
By Breitbart, August 10, 2020
Chicago officials announced Monday morning that police would be placed on high alert, with 12-hour shifts and expanded patrols throughout the city after the Magnificent Mile downtown was attacked by organized looters overnight.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot stopped short, however, of calling for the National Guard, which had been used to protect the downtown area after an initial wave of riots in late May. There was no mention of federal law enforcement, either.
(Update: At a subsequent press conference, Lightfoot, standing alongside Governor J.B. Pritzker, said that “both of us believe this is not an incident that requires the National Guard. … We do not need federal troops in Chicago. Period. Full stop.” She added that President Donald Trump should help by enacting “common-sense gun control.” If Trump wanted to help, she said, he should not “rattle the saber” but rather enact gun control, which she said would provide “real safety.”)
Superintendent David Brown told journalists at a press conference (carried live on the Facebook page of local ABC affiliate WLS-7 TV) that the looting was triggered by a shooting on the South Side of Chicago, when a 20-year-old suspect who was fleeing police fired at officers in pursuit. After officers returned fire and injured the suspect, who was hospitalized and is expected to survive, a crowd gathered.
“Tempers flared, fueled by misinformation as the afternoon led into evening,” Brown said, and posts on social media called for downtown Chicago to be looted.”

Other neighborhoods in the city were also looted, according to police and local news reports:

Though police mobilized in response, they were overwhelmed by “car caravans” that coordinated the looting. Police made 100 arrests and 13 officers were injured. Shots were fired at police, and a civilian and private security guard were hit by gunfire.
Brown said that the looters acted as if they believed there would be “no consequences,” and strongly suggested that the criminal justice system should impose harsher penalties on looters than it had done in the past. He noted that there had also been 31 shootings over the weekend, and three murders, and hundreds of guns recovered by Chicago police. He added that access to downtown Chicago would be restricted from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. for the near future.
The mayor, who said the city had woken up “in shock,” angrily denounced the looting, which she said had no connection to legitimate protests. “This had nothing to do with legitimate, protected, First Amendment expression,” Lightfoot said.

36% Black support for Trump = BLM Riots are necessary
The Dems MUST reverse this black opinion shift, so their project is to encourage anti-white and anti-Republican sentiment among blacks. The Dems portray us as white supremacists who do bad things to blacks. AND BLM riots encourage that myth.

I saw some where there was a poll that stated 81% of blacks want the same level or MORE police. Most don’t want this lawlessness.

isn’t Chicago supposed to be an iconic example of a gun free Democrat city? Funny that! But then you look at the mayor and realize just how far gone it is.

Chicago, Chicago, has slithered into the blood-filled gutter by its evildoing. The pandering to lawlessness from gangbangers, anarchists, BLM, ANTIFA, and every other aspirant Commie in town. The wheel of misfortune doesn’t stop there; the police are left bare-ass and handcuffed by the mayor and her underlings. Wait, there may be a resolution, the National Guard; hell no, it may save lives, businesses, peoples’ livelihoods.
The intent of all Democrats is the desire for cities, states, and the Republic to fall into a morass of lawlessness, corruption, anarchical chaos, in turn, death throes.

This is organized domestic terrorism and MUST be treated as such. The mayor is giving aid and comfort to America’s domestic enemies by refusing to squash this.

They are just helping the Mayor to bring the city down, which she has been trying to do for a long time. I know that , now, right before the election is not a good time politically but it is time for the Insurrection Act and the end of this sh-t!.

The people voted her in. She is the reigning monarch of the city. Maybe, just maybe, they have learned their lesson, but I won’t hold my breath.

I think you exaggerate it. I live in Chicago. Nobody likes her, as far as I am informed. She is narcissistic, rude, coward and dumb b##ch. She’s been fighting with almost all the Aldermen in the City. She is fighting with Chicago Police Department and blames everybody around, except herself. She needs to go. Yesterday!

Yeah. Sometimes it is time to leave. I’ve been watching some of the birds more often around here, and the smart ones are often very quick to leave when they spot something that might be a threat.

As we watch the dem mayors of Chicago, NYC, Seattle and Portland allow the rioting and violence in their cities, why keep pushing the narrative that these mayors are stupid and incompetent? I contend that these mayors know exactly what they`re doing, as, they`re following the Marxist playbook for bringing chaos and division to our country, for which they attempt to blame Pres. Trump. It`s up to the citizens of the aforementioned cities to quickly organize recalls, so that these criminal mayors can be removed from their positions, asap. Then, patriotic citizens must vote in responsible, law and order mayors, who will join the president in MAGA. The same should also happen to the dem governors, as, not only have they refused to use their authority to stop the rioting and violence, but, they`re trying to bring down the president by their onerous and unnecessary lockdowns. Use legal means to get rid of these traitors, then, vote in governors who have the best interests of the citizens.

Thanks—-Several points well articulated and understood. However, the major urban areas have been, and will continue to be democratic. The only alternative to patriots living in these hellholes is to move. If you cannot move, buy a gun, learn self-defence techniques , store food, water, medicine, ammo. Fly under the radar, stay inconspicuous , and blend in without exposing your true intentions. Above all, put GOD first in your life.

Where’s the ’68 police force (and policies) that are needed now in Chicago?? The police are still living down the image of swatting protestors with their batons; but today’s riots prove the ’68 cops were correct, all along.

CHICAGO CHICAGO THAT SHITHOLE TOWN
Chicago, Chicago, that Democrat town
Chicago, Chicago, I won’t show you around, I hate it
Bet your bottom dollar you’ll lose your life in Chicago, Chicago

Since this has been allowed to go on for so long, I think citizens must themselves stand up and start fighting back and fight back HARD, EVERY TIME, EVERY CITY. Don’t wait for the military.

She, like the mayor of Portland, will do absolutely nothing until they march towards her neighborhood. I have never seen her before. Is it just me or does she look like a female Jessie Jackson? Has anybody seen the reverend lately? Maybe he had gender re-assignment surgery.

Sorry, Miss Geller, but violence is EXACTLY what they want. Why should they attempt to suppress it? They have ONLY ONE GOAL, the destruction of the United States of America and its replacement by a totalitarian Marxist regime. Violence helps move their goal along.
Marxism might be attractive except for ONE FACT. Not one single SUCCESSFUL Marxist nation exists or ever existed. Why in Hell would we want to try a system that has failed 100% of the times it has been tried? Would you go to a doctor who killed 100% of patients?
Marxism has been tried in nations comprising billions of persons and has failed utterly. Why should we try a FAILED economic system?
Here is a list of countries that WERE Marxist but are no longer Marxist:
Russia
Belorussia
Ukraine
Georgia
Azerbaijan
Armenia
Mongolia
Albania
Bulgaria
Czechoslovakia
East Germany
Hungary
Poland
Romania
Latvia
Estonia
Lithuania
Afghanistan
Cambodia
Yemen
Yugoslavia
Angola
Benin
Dem Rep. of Congo
Ethiopia
Somalia
Eritrea
Mozambique
China (while nominally Communist, is highly Capitalistic)
Marxism survives in only 4 countries and they are failing economically FAST:
Country Order GDP Per capita
Cuba 78
Vietnam 134
Laos 136
North Korea 178
After that abject failure on a global scale, how can ANYBODY be stupid enough to believe in Marxism?
