Chicago Mayor Lightfoot blames everyone but herself for BLM riots/looting


On Sunday night, BLM agitators clashed with police as rioters vandalized stores in downtown Chicago, with officers returning fire after being targeted by gunfire.
More than 100 people were arrested and 13 officers wounded as rioters smashed windows and looted high-end stores, authorities said.

On Monday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot gave a press conference wherein she proceeded to
blame “gun control laws.”
Unless you live under a rock, you’ll know that the current strict gun control laws in Chiraq do NOTHING to stop the regular, double-digit weekend shootings in that town.
The good mayor then went on to blame Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx due to her lack to file criminal charges against looters. As MyFoxChicago reported, Foxx fired back: 
“The state’s attorney claims the relatively small number of looters who faced any charges after the destruction in late May and early June is a police problem and that it has not encouraged more looting.”

Then hours later, Mayor Lightfoot stated she had a “productive call” with Kim Foxx and they are “committed” to seeing that these looting criminals are brought to justice. Don’t hold your breath.
I guess it’s a shell game as to who is responsible for the violence in that town. But we all know who is ultimately responsible, including those who elected this failure of a mayor.
