Trouble infiltrates Beetlejuice's domain

From Second City Coppers

Then she really demonstrates that she thinks she is far more important that you pissants:

• “I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot said.

This from the most virulent anti-gun mayor in Chicago history. A mayor known by insiders to carry a small derringer-type weapon in her ill-fitting suits (her keeping a hand in her pocket all the time is a well known street "tell.") Guess what Groot? Everyone has that Right, they just don't have a taxpayer funded army to exercise it.

Remember when certain neighborhoods stood up for themselves and warned interlopers threatening to wreak havoc in their peaceful parts of town that it might be a bad idea? Groot said that residents shouldn't be taking the law into their own hands....when she had (and continues) to strip peaceful neighborhoods of something that keeps them peaceful. She also wants to deny everyone the Right to own something that keeps her safe every single day and night, even when she isn't living at her main residence.

But this is what really got us riled up:

• Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday defended the heavy police presence outside her Logan Square home, at a time when police officers are stretched to the limit, citing “specific threats” made “every single day” to “my person, my wife and my home.”
  
  “Given the threats that I have personally received. Given the threats to my home and my family, I’m gonna do everything to make sure that they are protected. I make no apologies whatsoever for that,” the mayor said.
  
  “I’ve talked to my fellow mayors across the country and, seeing the kind of things that have been done to them and their family members, I’m not gonna have that happen. That’s not what my wife and my child signed up for. It’s not what my neighbors signed up for. We have a right in our home to live in peace.”

You know who else didn't "sign up" for this bitch?

• our neighbors
• our spouses
• our children

But there you are, acting all high and mighty and presuming to be better than the citizens you are supposed to be serving, working the Department to death, undercutting any semblance of authority we might have, encouraging unfounded complaining, denigrating our representatives, and standing idly by while the men and women protecting you have to stand face-to-face with scumbag terrorists who are doxing them in real time, broadcasting their home addresses and encouraging the rape of their daughters.

Oh, you thought we forgot about your silence on that one? You demand protection your family because they didn't "sign up for this," but if a cop's home is attacked or their daughter gets violated while he or she is standing post to protect yours, we're supposed to what? Think they signed up for it?

You have abandoned the neighborhoods and destroyed downtown. You thought by waving the white flag, they weren't going to come for you? You are by far the most useless excuse for a politician we have seen in our lifetimes.

UPDATE: Groot is taking a bunch of fire from the Right side of the internet for this:

• Instapundit
• Ace of Spades
• Breitbart

Groot is doing for Illinois gun sales what Sparklefarts did for national numbers.
