Days after $1 million smash-and-grab, Lightfoot walked out of meeting with “idiot” luxury car dealer — then a city inspector showed up with a ticket book – CWB Chicago

Tickets were written for: failing to comply with the commissioner of health’s mask order and failing to comply with BACP’s order to comply with the commissioner of health’s mask order; storing, receiving, possessing, selling nineteen bottles of liquor. One whiskey, champagnes, wine, etc”; failure to display an incidental consumption liquor license and failure to have a required liquor license; and “interfering with or obstructing the commissioner’s designee in the performance of duties.”

In defense of the headline, it was idiotic of Perillo to think Mayor Lightweight cares about his business or is willing to do anything to prevent crime.

Sorry, but the people of Chicago brought this on themselves. Wake up and change, leave, or get used to it.

Insurance rates have to be increasing substantially to cover the theft and property damages.

Welcome to Chicago values! Anyone exercising their freedom of speech to disagree will be thrown into the Gulag.

Wouldn’t surprise me that Lori and Kim will now give the green light for the Thugs to further loot this guys business as they will order to the police to look the other way.

Chicago is such a lovely place.

Wow. Car dealerships are golden, given their significant sales tax revenue stream for municipalities. Stupid self-righteous mayor shows her self-righteous stupidity yet again; this particular episode should be campaign ad for her opponent(s): “Mayor Lightfoot Says: F You; F Sales Tax Revenue”.

vindictive abuse of power: legal ramifications. Start your legal research with
Yale Law Journal – Vindicating Vindictiveness: Prosecutorial Discretion and Plea Bargaining, Past and Future (2014)

Seems likely to be costly and he might not win. Private lawyer against the battalion of free lawyers and judges who are the pocket of Hon. Mayoress. Like going up against the Mafia only worse.

Car dealerships generate huge tax revenues, he should move out of Chicago, they don’t want him there.

Move out of the City and ignore the tickets. Mandates and Rules are not laws. Burden of proof is on the Dept of Health to prove their is a health hazard. They cannot prove it. The other tickets are nothing but BS – get a lawyer and sue.

There’s an old saying that you can’t fight City Hall, and the only place to fight these tickets is the Kangaroo Courts of all Kangaroo Courts. Things only get worse the more you fight.

Fixed the headline for you:

“Failed Mayor/End-Stage Toxic Narcissist Lightfoot Uses City Hall Goons — To Go After Car Dealer Who Complained About Smash And Grab Robbery”

You’re Welcome!

What’s next from Lori? Extrajudicial killings? Don’t agree with Lori expect a visit from a bus load of city inspectors. Lori’s revenge is rarely subtle.

I hope Perillo follows thru on his threat and shuts the store. Why would any sane businessman put up with this kind of thuggery. I saw his interviews on tv after the smash and grab and he was not in any way abusive or obnoxious. It’s not possible to get Lori to change her ways– she has already proven she is not salvageable as a mayor. But maybe some more high profile business departures will wake up the public who dump her next election cycle.

The permanent victim class and free s***army will continue to vote for the black mayor. They don’t pay taxes anyway.
