Grocery and liquor stores would be barred from selling beer, wine and liquor after 10 p.m. if Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot gets her way. She said the move would curb crime

These people are genetically incapable of knowing of, and be embarrassed by, their utter stupidity.

Hey, why don’t we just ban alcohol? That could work.

“What it will do is force people to buy 3 12 packs at 9:59PM instead of 1.”

That’s what I was thinking. Buy up bigly before 10:00. It’s much like that law in NY where you couldn’t buy a super sized drink. So people would buy two smaller ones to equal a large one, and that was OK.

Democrats are SO STUPID!

A good start would be to restrict drug sales after 10 P.M. Anybody caught selling drugs would face a $10,000 fine and six months in jail.

Why not just put up a sign that says “alcohol free loitering zone”? After all Dems believe that “drug-free school zone” signs mean that there are no drugs in a school and the Biden administration emphatically says “the border is closed” while thousands of invaders are pouring across our southern border every day.

It is amazing what one political party can get away with when they have a complicit media on their side.

Is this lady a grade school dropout? This nutcase thinks NOT SELLING liquors after 10pm will help the crime rate? Mrs. O’Leary’s cow needs to kick over the lantern, and we shouldn’t rebuild it... 😀

Nothing she will or can do will alter the trend towards higher and higher crime rates, and horrific murder statistics. She is singularly incompetent, and cannot change what she is, a failure.

Right.

Not a great observer of human nature, is she.

Man wants to get high, he’s gonna get high.

Deny him the legal drug, he will find, quite easily in fact, an illegal substitute; Meth, Ecstasy, Heroin, Bath Salts...

If you’re lucky, he’ll choose pot and at least be non-violent. If you are lucky.

Wait. You mean you have to pay for the booze in Chi-town? Wait. You mean if close the party store, folks can’t just bust in later?

Confused in South Chicago.
