The violence is strictly in the hands of Lori and alderscum like Sophia King who all summer gave into the constant wishes of the domestic terrorist Marxist blm organization. These two enablers of crime gave into their demands on every turn. They allowed wildings , looting, arson , riots and attacks on police. They both enabled and empowered criminals destroying the loop, mag mile and Chicago’s economy. They need to be removed from office.
