Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot snapped at a reporter who questioned whether city officials went too easy on looters from protests in recent months. The exchange took place Monday after widespread violence and looting took place downtown in the early morning hours following a police-involved shooting that left a man injured. More than 100 arrests were made, and 13 officers were hurt during the unrest, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said during a press conference Monday morning. “It almost sounds as though you’re saying this is — the reason [this is happening] is because the courts and the prosecutors were not

She's feeling the pressure -- it's already shrunken her head.

They got away with it once, twice, ten times and more. What the hell does she expect? It's about time somebody called her out on this BM Movement crap.

With a face that bares such a striking resemblance to a fish... it's tough not to do!
I wonder if it smells like 3 day old fish as well!

Responding to pressure is what a politician does. Her answers-striking similar to Pelosi's of late- are more revealing than she thinks: namely, that she knows she has no clue what to do but doesn't dare admit she needs help from the Feds. Chicago is lost until the Dems are voted out.

Express it any way you want. The response comes down to "Don't Blame Me."
If the voters in Chicago care to wait until the next election to ditch ALL the incumbents so be it. But then perhaps some recalls and tar and feathering are in order.

The reporter had a legitimate question since the state's attorney dropped charges on lawbreakers in previous protests-turned-riots-with-looting. Don't like tough questions? Aim and shoot at the questioner! That's the Dem way.

People understand that looters need to be STOPPED with FORCE.
Only idiot Dem politicians can't grasp that simple fact.

Lori Light-in-the-brains is feeling the pressure. Her reply was purely defensive. She knows there is no way out and there will be no infusion of money to rebuild the damage done by the rioters. She believes her press clippings, but she's just plain incompetent as well as stupid. She as no business being in this job. To her it was a trophy, like the cherry on a sundae.

There is a Chicago radio talk show host in the morning named Amy Jacobson. She was banned from Gov. Pricksters news conferences for asking real questions.
If you saw the mayor's presser, when she gets angry, there is a facial tick, stuttering, and then lashing out with vulgarities.

She's in a denial mode and doesn't want to take responsibility for ruining the city as well as the people's lives.

If I owned a business destroyed by these criminals I would sue the city for abandoning their responsibilities of keeping people and property safe.

Lightfoot is mad at the reporter. Lightfoot is mad at Pres Trump. Lightfoot should be mad at he correct people..... HERSELF for continued poor leadership relating to the continued civil unrest and high murder rate in the city; and the rioters/looters who feel entitled to destroy the city over a criminal who shot at police being shot back at. The unruly mobs in the city should take a moment to get facts about what actually happened before getting mad at police actions. Unfortunately, the Mayor, Governor, media, and other Chicago city leaders have so poisoned the public's attitude towards the police that they are no longer to effectively do their jobs without someone feeling violated.

'Mayor' Lighthead, the most incompetent Dem lesbian! Her incompetence is merely overshadowed by the German thug Wilhelm in NYC. How Lighthead ever passed law school is beyond me. But the old saying is that anyone can become a lawyer. She proved it.

#12 You are of course right. Certain incidents in Colorado this weekend demonstrate that it doesn't take an awful lot of force. A bloody nose under the Ninja scarf and the little boys head for Mommy's home and don't come out again. I got my MAGA hat on and I will box the ears of any silly mutant Ninja turtle who tries to knock it off. God Bless America and Joe's toys can go to hell in November.

Think how much safer Chicagoans would be if JUST ONCE in her life a male had found the Mayor attractive.
