Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has accepted much of the responsibility for the rampant crime problem in her city. Just kidding!
When it comes to the so-called “smash & grab” lootings in Chicago, Lightfoot has reserved much of the blame for retailers and business owners:
Is Lori Lightfoot blaming Chicago businesses for crime? Is she actually implying they’re asking for it? Wow. pic.twitter.com/9O1YOqySoE

Businesses and individuals are already paying taxes for police, but Lightfoot now says it’s their responsibility to hire private security?
Mayor Lightfoot just blamed businesses for not doing a better job on crime like having better cameras. It is akin to blaming slow moving game for poaching. The causes of crime however are well known and Chicago is a great example of the lack of deterrence.https://t.co/DmYKPV3ZBD

All that’s certain is that Democrat city leaders are never going to accept any of the blame for the disasters that are cause by their own policies.
FFS: she’s upset that the stores don’t hire private security. And you know that if they do and the security harms a robber, she’ll call it racism. https://t.co/bswAHBHvDH

It makes no sense whatsoever to put the blame for that's smash-and-grab and flash mob crime on the backs of businesses, the blame belongs to among other things are breakdown a societal values and not enforcing laws

Imagine Lightfoot’s reaction if business owners actually “did more” to stop looters.
I agree, retailers aren't using deadly force enough to protect their businesses.
