Chicago needs 3,000 National Guardsmen. Aldermen arguing that the deployment of 375 National Guard troops to seal off the downtown had left South and West Side unprotected.
During Sunday calls between the mayor and aldermen, Lopez asked Lightfoot directly what her plan was to protect the neighborhoods after sealing off a downtown devastated by looting, vandalism and arson on Saturday. According to Lopez, the mayor responded that she had a plan for every neighborhood.
By Sunday night, neighborhoods were in chaos, warnings about a “coordinated attempt to destabilize our city” turned out to be right. On a second conference call between the mayor and City Council, Lopez said several aldermen were “in tears."
“I asked her point-blank. I told you this was gonna happen. What is our plan for the neighborhoods? How are we gonna stabilize the communities? We need a five-day plan. The assumption that this is all gonna go away because you’ve got a curfew is wrong. I want an answer."
“When I finished, she said, ‘Okay. Next’ and tried to move on without answering me. I interrupted, ‘No. I demand an answer. I want to know what your plan is.’ ... She said I was full of s - - t for saying that all she cared about was downtown and that she wasn’t prepared and that there’s nothing she could say intellectually that would make sense to me.’”
Lopez said he answered profanity with profanity.
“I told her, ‘F - - k you. You don’t know what’s going on. You need to come out from wherever you’re hiding and see what’s going on in the neighborhoods. You need to check your f----ing attitude. That’s not what this is about. … That just underscores and totally proves the fact that she had no plan for the neighborhoods.”

Oh oh
Relatives in the west suburbs heard the sound of riot last night, a 30 minute drive west of the lake.
Elect stupid politicians, win stupid prizes.
The rioters serve the Mayor’s agenda as they terrorize the mayor’s community.
Democrats want people to demand more government, and if they have to threaten society with total collapse — we’ve now seen they are willing to do it
Elect a black lesbian as mayor simply for the sake of having a black lesbian mayor, and you may have to pay a price down the road.
Karma. Look who you elected. Surprised ?
It’s what you liberal a-holes get for not letting the police enforce the laws. You don’t practice preventive measures when it comes to public safety in your city. You refuse to cooperate with ICE to rid your city of illegal aliens, you turn a blind eye to crime, and then when the $hit hits the fan, you expect the Federal government to clean up your mess. Go F yourself.
Unfortunately, all she has is attitude. That, and insulting The President. And in addition to the rioting, there were another what, dozen murders in Chicago over the weekend.
Hey, chicongoans...you have the results of your insane always corrupt voting. Enjoy the suck.
Stand outside your home with your AR-15’s displayed and the looters will......oh wait, that’s right, you aren’t allowed to protect yourselves, the police will do it for you. Good luck with that.
It’s also been rumored one of the Hispanic gangs is vowing to attack looters on their turf.
Yup, the bastards hit some of the shopping malls like Riverside and North Riverside. South suburbs got hit really hard.
It’s already happened in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on Sunday.
She is an idiot/low IQ blue he/she/it mayor.
She only knows how to get in the face of her aldermen and those daring to challenger her.
Their bs is starting to upset people who voted for and may have supported her up to now.
Dissension in the ranks.
LOVE it.!
Groot is incompetent
Thats what stupid voting gets you
It’s not only stupid voters, it is the corrupt election officials who administer the elections and manipulate the counting of ballots.
FU Groot. Hope you choke on the carpet you munch on tonite. FU Groot / Groot_foot
I do not think too many liberals are posting comments here. There loads of disenfranchised conservatives in Illinois.
