Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot assigns blame for looting spree in Chicago (just guess...)

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
