Chicago Mayor Blames Retailers for Increased Crime and Lootings in City

Another Democrat hell-hole.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed retailers for not protecting themselves enough from the criminals and looters in the city.

It’s their fault that the city is becoming unbearable to do business in.



Lightfoot, a committed leftist, can’t understand why they just don’t hire more security guards.
WOW!

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed retailers for not making safety a priority amid a string of smash-and-grab thefts at retail stores in recent months.

“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, chaining high-end bags. These purses can be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units,” Lightfoot said Monday.

Rob Karr, the president and CEO of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said Chicago businesses need the “fingerprinting among leadership to stop.”

Groups of looters in masks have stormed stores in orchestrated plots to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in downtown Chicago and the city’s suburbs.

I guess the taxes they pay to the city is not for policing and prosecution. Who knew.

@FreeSpirit1 It works better when cops actually get off their asses and give the DA someone to prosecute.

@QuixoticSoul Works best if prosecutors, prosecute.

@Budwick They tend to, when the cops don't fuck up their part of the job. Organized theft translates to juicy felony charges.

@QuixoticSoul In the eyes of the left, arresting BLM's is not allowed.
Is that what you mean?

@Budwick This particular situation has nothing to do with BLM, you're just a sad whiner - but as it happens, tons of people were arrested and prosecuted during the BLM protests.

That explains the bad breath!

@Budwick Tons.

And duh, there are habitual offenders in these organized thefts, but these aren't BLM protests, so it's unclear why you're conflating these things.

Nobody is lying, you just don't have much of a grasp on things these days.

Nobody is lying,

You are constantly lying.

Whether BLM or plain old looters, if they're out on no bail - it's a problem for law abiding citizens.

@Budwick Not every black person who stole something is part of BLM Bud - this is a very particular boomerism, but it’s nonsense.

Nobody is lying, as usual you are trying to fight weird strawmen conjured forth by your defective imagination.

@Budwick These are not looters, not are they BLM - they’re thieves.

What would be different if they were out on bail?

No Bail, numnut.

@Budwick You think forfeiting a few hundred bucks would somehow change anything? Lol.

The whole bail thing is moronic. If someone is a flight risk or will likely reoffend, simply keep them in jail until their trial. And if someone isn’t, it doesn’t matter whether they have a few dollars sitting around or not.
