she has lost any control that she assumed she had, it is pretty obvious to most

[thedoughouse]

Sorry, you cant make this a racist issue when the elected officials are black... obviously voters are not racist, this is not about race

[robertsr.]

Have all the meetings you want, she’ll just pass the buck, I’m sure the police would prefer to do their job, Let them ! Start busting heads again . And get her the hell out of office .

"Nothing to see here... Move along..."
Just a city drowning in blood.

[PRAISEGODMEDIA]

But she said crime is down. Chicago is the safest city to live. Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and New York should be declared war zones.

Lightfoot is a poor leader. No clue what's she's doing.

[Yeah-right-]

Oh, the *White Supremacy* problem is rampant!
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment
and give thanks for the great contributions of the *Democrat*
community to our society. I love driving down their streets and seeing
the American flag waving so proudly in every yard. Their peaceful
and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to
their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any
other culture. You can witness this by their strict adherence to our
local and Federal laws. Their commitment to academic excellence en-
riches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve
prominence as a people. Just watching their *Special* kind of Science
change our society is simply amazing. I mean, who ever thought there
are 187 Genders? Real estate values are fueled by the mix of
*Democrat Americans* into an area due to their caring and respectful
nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved
through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a
self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative
drive, we would undoubtedly be poorer as a nation.


*Well, except for the Mass Shootings, The Racist, Lawless, Violent, Junkie, *
*Self Entitled, Christian Hating, Antifa Loving, White People Hating, Pedophilia*
*Loving, Cop Hating, Abortion Loving, Jew Hating Bigoted part I mean.*

It's good to live in a gated and protected neighbourhood.

If they are demanding accountability a good start would be for them to look in the mirror... There they will find half of the problem... Then they should look at the people who voted for them... And they will find the other half of the problem...

The city has 50 alderman and only 22 are concerned about the crime wave, what does that tell you?

[ZinXlX]

The Police chief is on that Mayor's personal payroll. He'll be more than happy to release their perfect city report with crimes down and everyone being happy.

[rodneyshelby]

Sometimes I wonder if I'm living in an alternate parallel fourth dimension how did Chicago end up with mayor Beetlejuice this woman doesn't have a clue and if she does she certainly doesn't care about the safety of Chicago people I live in Chicago in the 1970s 80s and 90s this woman is a disgrace someone needs to tell it like it is

[Zket]

lightfoot is the main source of the problem and foxx is the root of the problem.

[kennetholiver]

Maybe it's because the mayor doesn't give a flying care about is what happening in her city. It's called plausible deniability. This mayor needs her security taken away, so she can face what the rest of us do everyday.

[hansenhansen]

How in the world did this mayor ever get elected. Crime starts at the top, the mayor needs to go.

[lemonysnick]

This should not be happening in America. This is an embarrassment.

[howardwilliams]

Didn't lightfool say crime was down while talking to that WHITE reporter the other day!!!!????

[Jerm]

Mayor light-brain has lost control of that city

[benjaminanacay]

Why none of Chicagoans demands her resignation?

[AirShotRC]

This is what happens when you de-fund the police, simple logic.
