Another Democrat hell-hole.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed retailers for not protecting themselves enough from the criminals and looters in the city.
It’s their fault that the city is becoming unbearable to do business in.
Lightfoot, a committed leftist, can’t understand why they just don’t hire more security guards.
WOW!
Chicago mayor Lightfoot blames the retailers for not protecting themselves enough
2021 violence stats are the worst in nearly 30 years
Like the 1,000 homicides so far this year
Must be their own fault too https://t.co/UZkRqeQ4bJ

FOX Business reported:
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot blamed retailers for not making safety a priority amid a string of smash-and-grab thefts at retail stores in recent months.
“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. These purses can be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units,” Lightfoot said Monday.
Rob Karr, the president and CEO of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said Chicago businesses need the “fingerprinting among leadership to stop.”
Groups of looters in masks have stormed stores in orchestrated plots to steal thousands of dollars worth of merchandise in downtown Chicago and the city’s suburbs.
