The government must protect people and property – Crain’s

By a Chicago business owner: "Decisive action now might still salvage this mess and keep people from bolting. It might keep businesses from giving up. We must respect democratic protests but halt wanton destruction and looting. The government must protect both people and property. That’s the deal we make when we pay taxes and follow rules. If our property is to be offered up to the mob, perhaps the city should stop collecting property taxes."

“The mayor stated that the looting was coordinated, that “U-Haul trucks don’t just magically appear in front of stores.””
 
Yet, full well knowing the criminal organization of this purge, she still choose to do next to nothing.
 
Complete and utter failure Lori. HUGELY fail.

Lori didn’t even try. It wouldn’t take much effort to dust off Daley I’s 1968 riot plans and expand on them.
By Thursday or Friday, Lori should have been ready with cops, National Guards and whatever else. ☹️
