Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Chicago Retailers for Not Fighting Crime

Victim-blaming Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D-Incompetent) blames retailers for the recent rash of organized retail thefts.

“Some of the retailers downtown in Michigan Avenue, I will tell you, I’m disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority,” Lightfoot said. “For example, we still have retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores. Making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night, chaining high-end bags.”

Here’s my favorite part: “These purses seem to be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units.”

So if I’m correctly interpreting this, the retail smash-and-grab epidemic is not the fault of the Democrats who run Chicago’s government as an unopposed monopoly. Instead, it is retailers’ fault, so they must now 1) create a private police force, 2) lock up all their merchandise, and 3) stop attracting crime with all their fancy merchandise.

The government’s number-one job, the government’s highest priority, is supposed to be protecting the God-given rights of its citizens. That’s it. That’s job number one. And here’s failed Mayor Lightfoot blaming the victim for her own indifference and incompetence.

Clearly the smash-and-grab folks are playing the long game in lulling retailers into complacence after 100+ years of willy nilly not chaining up high-end bags and they're now ripe for the picking.

Well done common criminals, well done. :clap:

And if/when any stores should lock items up - they get accused of racism.

They need more police - or more heavily armed owners/workers, IMO. Doubt it's illegal to shoot thieves unless they are armed though.

Saw a video of a guy in California, at a CVS filling up a garbage bag with items as store workers just watched and recorded, and then he just calmly walked out. :rolleyes:

Looks like a seasonal opportunity for Kyle Rittenhouse.

Lightfoot is one person that deserves to be a victim of her own policies.

When are the smash and grab looters going to start targeting FedEx, UPS and Amazon trucks? There must thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in those vehicles especially in certain neighborhoods.

LOL

Only a matter of time before they completely empty out a UPS truck.

Yet when retailers put pomade and stuff that gets ripped off all the time in urban stores in locked cases, those retailers are accused of racism. Mayor Lightfoot is a complete and total idiot.
