Lightfoot under fire for suggesting retail stores increase security to prevent smash-and-grabs – FOX32 (Chicago)

Just last Thursday, nine people stormed a store along Michigan Avenue. Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed retailers for not making safety a priority: "Some of the retailers downtown and [on] Michigan Avenue, I will tell you, I'm disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won't institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they've got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night."

I guess she blames the pretty girls who dressed well for being sexually assaulted too? What a strange duck she is. I know how I would handle it if I were a retail merchant and the mayor told me it was my fault that I was getting robbed by roving gangs.

This mayor is an angry little 12 year old whose brain hasn’t developed yet to think logically. She only knows how to point a finger in anger, never giving any thought to anything but deflecting the responsibility to someone else. I think the term for her that kids use today is Mean Girl.

In adult circles she’s known as something a little more colorful! Good summary, she does behave like an illogical child. She’s guilty of everything she uses as labels for everyone else. Racist? Not really! Misanthrope, yes. She hates everyone. Cat Turd wouldn’t bee seen with her. She’s friendless.
