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.

Its racist and some kind of phobic to suggest that the people who rob the stores are at fault......implying that actions have consequences makes you a white supremacist.

Did I do a good impression of a democrat?

@SW-User It is always all about "root causes" and we need trillion dollar programs for those.

@LamontCranston "Keys not Cuffs!" Saw a bumpersticker about that. Give the thieves some affordable housing and they'll stop stealing, the Democrats say. And these people see themselves as intellectually superior. 🤣

@LamontCranston They think social workers are the way to go......which is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Here's a scenario of how democrats think crime should be stopped:

The social workers would sit the criminals down at a table and engage in a sensitive, inclusive, gender-neutral dialogue about their behavior. They would remind the criminals that they are actually the victims.....because white people exist and continue to insist on existing. The social workers would then emphasize the importance of the feelings of the criminals and how the democrat politicians of their city care so deeply about their plight and, if they are to help alleviate this plight.....they'll need the criminals to keep voting for them, preferably by mail so they vote more than once. Then, while the criminals and the social workers are lightly and sensitively buttering their free trade organic scones (paid for by taxpayers of course) the social workers would conclude the dialogue by asking the criminals what kind of punishment they would prefer.

That's how democrats think crime should be stopped.

Sprinkle that with a dash of Bible-thumping homophobia and it would perfect!
