Way to go, SignyM. Blame it on the Black Person. For all of the ails of the Black People, also blame it all on the Black Person.
No wonder BLM told Jesse Jackson to Sit Down Shut Up.

There is only so much ANY community can do to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. In the end, the smaller communities that make up the larger USA all need to be part of the larger economy because they all need meaningful jobs at living wages for everyone who can and wants to work.

Bu it doesn't help when your community gets thrown under the bus by a slick-talking double-dealer like Obama and Bill Clinton. (Bill threw the working class under the China-bus, and Obama threw homeowners under the bank-fraud bus, and the ones who were hurt most under Obama were blacks.)

Very much in line with the Democrat's 2020 Motto:

"Rules for thee, but not for me"



Every single Democrat mayor running every single Democrat shithole has exhibited similar behavior so far.


"It's all peaceful protesting until it shows up on my block".


Do Right, Be Right. :)

I didn't even notice that fat sack of shit, Jabba the Hut looking mother fucker behind Blackface Beatlejuice in the pic until now. I don't know how, he takes up half the frame.

That corrupt to the core piece of shit saved more on Illinois' insane property taxes over the years by taking toilets out of his mansion before house reassessments than half the country will make in their entire lifetime.

Illinois needs to get these useless Democrats out of office.

"I Have A Right To Make Sure That My Home Is Secure": Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Defends Ban On Protesters On Her Block

n the aftermath of the George Floyd killing, protests erupted across dozens of cities in California with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets, and despite the raging coronavirus pandemic they were cheered on loudly by the state's liberal elite with some of the most prominent Hollywood actors taking daily turns to voice their support for the protesters while condemning anyone who did not side with the BLM movement, even when so frequently it devolved into violent rioting and looting of innocent bystanders. All of that abruptly ended, however, when BLM invaded Beverly Hills chanting "eat the rich." That's when the police quickly showed up and immediately cleared out all the protesters.

But while such NIMBY hypocrisy has long been a fixture of the ultra-liberal Golden State, nothing compares to what just happened in Chicago whose Mayor Lori Lightfoot - best known for encouraging local BLM protests, going so far as saying that black lives are "more important that downtown corporations" after the unprecedented looting that took place last week - defended the Chicago Police Department’s ban on protesters being able to demonstrate on the block where she lives, telling reporters Thursday that she and her family at times require heightened security because of threats she receives daily.

Yes, Mayor Lori is all about BLM protests... as long as they are literally not in her back yard...

Lightfoot and Chicago police Superintendent David Brown were asked at an unrelated news conference about a Tribune report noting police have banned protesters from demonstrating on her block in the Logan Square neighborhood, ordering officers to arrest anyone who refuses to leave... It [THE DIRECTIVE] did not distinguish between the peaceful protesters Lightfoot regularly says she supports and those who might intend to be destructive, but ordered that after a warning is given to demonstrators, “It should be locked down."...

"I’m not going to make any excuses for the fact that, given the threats I have personally received, given the threats to my home and my family, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure they’re protected,” Lightfoot said. “I make no apologies whatsoever for that."

It wasn't clear if Lightfoot would apologize to all those millions of Chicago residents who - just like her - are trying to avoid threats against their own families by angry, violent looters; looters whose despicable actions Lightfoot has repeatedly turned her eyes away from in hopes of peak virtue signaling.

According to the Chicago Tribune, since the order, and even for a time just prior to its writing, Chicago cops have repeatedly blocked protesters’ access to the block with groups of officers and barricades. Police have often kept protesters contained at the nearby corner of Kimball and Wrightwood avenues, though one standoff between activists and officers last month saw police go as far as bringing in an armored vehicle in case things got out of hand.

Aside from the expanded police presence to block protesters from reaching her home, Lightfoot already receives 24/7 protection from cops including officers stationed at the residence. Worse, the aggressive overpolicing of the self-absorbed hypocrite mayor has often siphoned away resources from the area’s police district, some sources with knowledge of the situation told the Tribune, leading to quiet grumbling.

Both Lightfoot and Brown noted there are laws on the books banning residential protests, but Brown acknowledged the Police Department does not always enforce them. Brown said the city tries to give “wiggle room” for protesters.

Brown also cited instances where peaceful protests have been “hijacked” by agitators as reason for keeping demonstrators off Lightfoo

If only the police would stop constantly murdering innocent people.

It's always in cities with Democratic mayors. Most often in cities with minority Democratic mayors.
