Chicago mayor warns criminals: 'We are coming for you'

[Baclava]

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot slammed looters and rioters who descended upon the downtown area early Monday morning, calling the overnight events “an assault on our city” and telling criminals, “We are coming for you.”

Police said more than 100 people were arrested and at least 13 officers were hurt over the course of the events.

“We are waking up in shock this morning,” Lightfoot said. “These individuals engaged in what can only be described as brazen and extensive criminal looting and destruction. And to be clear, this had nothing to do with legitimate, protected First Amendment expression.”

Shouldn't be hard with all the cameras around to track down license plate numbers of looter getaway vehicles

1. Mayor Lightfoot doesn't sound like she sees any basis for calling these "protesters."

2. They are not protesters, though I have no doubt the republicans will falsely use them in their ads

3. Blocks of high priced stores were hit, for insurance purposes lets call them robberies, not riots

Ayep, banks were hit too

4. 'This has got to stop. It always gets blamed on the democrats. Protests carry on into

the evening and this is what brings out the hoodlums and looters. Just like clockwork.

5. Actors bought & paid for by the oligarchy to smear protesters. Fascism on display. nt
