Chicago Mayor Begging Major Retailers Not To Abandon Riot-Ravaged City

124

Mayor Lightfoot is out of her mind. Not only has she allowed criminals to take over her city, but she has also threatened to arrest citizens who violate her tyrannical social distancing rules. How are the retailers that Lightfoot want’s to keep in Chicago suppose to generate any revenue to cover their overhead costs? Americans need to stop voting for this insane party. November needs to be a wipe out for the Democrats. No party this dangerous should have any kind of political power in the Unite States.

Chicago Mayor Begging Major Retailers Not To Abandon Riot-Ravaged City

By Western Journal, June 9, 2020

Portions of Chicago have resembled combat zones for years.

But in recent weeks, roaming groups of rioters have used the May 25 death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis as a pretext to loot and destroy businesses both big and small in the Windy City.

The response from the city’s Democratic leaders has been less than aggressive — and now they’re facing the potential repercussions of that approach.

National retail chain locations have been attacked, looted or burned and are now closed in many parts of the city, as was outlined June 1 by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Walmart, according to reports, might not come back, at least not fully.

WBBM-AM in Chicago reported the Arkansas-based retail giant is assessing which of its locations in the city are worth salvaging after criminals ransacked the stores during unchecked looting.

There isn’t a timetable for when that corporate evaluation will be completed, but Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, whose job it is to protect her city, is now pleading with Walmart and other retailers not to leave the market.

“My hope is that they will come back,” Lightfoot said of Walmart’s evaluation of how to proceed in Chicago.

The mayor made the comments after she spoke with a number of retailers that have locations closed due to damage.

Per Lightfoot, most companies will stand by the city, but Walmart has not committed to anything.

“But I got a resounding, ‘Mayor, this is our city, this is our home,’ from a lot of other retailers, and I would hope that Wa

Communism expert Trevor Loudon, meanwhile, told The Epoch Times that Antifa is only one part of the picture, noting that “every significant communist or socialist party in the United States has been involved in these protests and riots from the beginning.” According to Loudon,- Communist Party USA- Liberation Road- Freedom Road Socialist Organization- Democratic Socialists of America- Revolutionary Communist Party- Workers World Party- Party for Socialism and Liberationhave been involved, among others, including Antifa and the Black Lives Matter organization. They are also guilty of conspiracy, misprision of felony, and malice aforethought, including intention to commit murder, because they were up and organizing within hours after public knowledge of the the George Floyd incident, and even before it was deemed a murder. They planned and coordinated the riots before there was even a reason for the riots.

It’s no surprise that the disease quickly crossed a-x the Atlantic to Britain. The same antifa & other seditious commie anarchist radicals, together with BLM (UK) rioted, broke numerous laws (aside from the unnecessary lock down, which they violated anyway) i.e. caused public disorder & criminal damage. There were disgraceful scenes as war memorials to the hono(u)red dead were defiled in London, a statue in Bristol was demolished, all while the impotent police looked on meekly or acted ineffectually.
I do not blame individual policemen & women, it’s the way they are led & have been by ultra pc careerists in recent decades. Such treacherous individuals have taken every opportunity to kowtow to muslims, black radicals, rapugees (gimmigrants) at the behest of their globalist NWO political masters. But woe betide any law abiding citizen who has dared to break the daft OTT lockdown measures in London & other big city parks or in the countryside! It’s amazing how quickly police appeared on the scene to pounce on such soft targets!

Thanks John! Of course, the cops just do what they are required to do by politico bosses. If the bosses tell them to arrest conservative Brits, then they will. They don’t like it, but they do it. The one big advantage we have with the police, is that they are quite good at consequential thinking, because of what they see in their jobs every day. They see that criminals have rotten lives. There are consequences to being a rotten person. They see that honest people have much better lives. They see that welfare sucking immigrants degrade themselves and society. They see that one good person can turn around a whole family. And so on, so they are inherently conservative in their thinking. And that’s one key reason why commies hate the cops.

Chicago mayor: Will take ‘Herculean effort’ to get businesses to come back
Walmart, Target among businesses in city that can’t confirm reopening of stores
By Evie Fordham FOXBusiness

“I’ve been on calls and text messages with people all day who fought hard to bring economic development to areas of the city, only to see the Walgreens, the CVS, the grocery store, everything vanish in an eye blink,” Lightfoot said on a May 31 call with distraught aldermen. “It’s going to take a Herculean effort on the part of all of us to convince businesses not to disappear, to come back. We’re prepared to fight that fight.”

Chicago stores mull permanent closure following riots, coronavirus lockdown
Chicago stores are struggling to reopen after the coronavirus lockdown, riot violence and looting have physically and economically destroyed businesses.

How much more abuse are these businesses willing to endure? With an anti law enforcement mayor, they are better off leaving. What makes them think this mayor will do something different next time? This is what happens in a DEM run state that are anti-capitalists and pro communism.

Chew on this one. A few years ago, NYC prevented Walmart from opening its first store there. The Marxists who were already running the city back then, had no legal grounds to stop Walmart. There were many big box store in NYC already. Despite this, big bad Walmart decided to give up the fight and move on.
If Marxist Leftists can stop the biggest retailer in the world, they can destroy ordinary people. They can and they do. How do think the Republican Party was wiped out in New York?

She was elected by a lot of mindless apathetic idiots. In fact, she beat 8-9 other candidates and won easily. Her wikipedia page gives no indication that before being elected mayor, she was a Radical Leftist but based upon her actions and decision this past month, she clearly aligns with the Radical and Marxist Left BLM and LBGTQ movement. But this is masking the real problem. She lacks any qualification to be Mayor of such a large city, let alone one with a chronic high murder rate.
People love trashing Trump but they forget all those buildings didn’t build themselves. It required lots of management.
These leftist-run cities have no interest in managerial experience. They care about your ideology and loyalty to the cause. Minneapolis Mayor Frey, NYC Mayor De Blasio and Chicago Mayor Lightfoot had zero managerial or administrative experience prior to being elected Mayor. The typical career path is lawyer, city council member (elected), then Mayor.
Instead of first gaining managerial experience in the private sector, Leftists view the public sector as a more desirable career path to the private sector with guaranteed income, a generous pension, and zero competition. They live off the public teat. It has little to do with public service. Even though every penny of public funds comes from private sector productivity and risk, they view the private sector with contempt. Is it any surprise that they don’t give a rat’s a** about the businesses destroyed by looters. They’ll just borrow more money to cover the tax income deficit. Perpetually sucking in and squandering tax payer money is SOP for these political parasites.

People in these cities are dying as a result of gross incompetence, negligence and malfeasance. There’s literally zero prior qualifications to run for any elected position in these cities. It attract ambitious political ideologues that can trade favors, self-promote and raise campaign cash. Thee people are barely qualified to work in PR, let alone run a major city.

NONE of these businesses should stay in Chicago, given how the Chicago “mayor” DIDN’T do anything to protect them from rioters and looters! Not to mention, her tough stance on “Social Distancing” hurt these businesses….while she hypocritically did not enforce any social distancing on the protesters and rioters. These businesses should not even have a conversation with her about staying in Chicago…..unless the conversation includes how they are made WHOLE and the city compensates them for their damages……AND compensates them for the trauma they experienced!

Lightfoot and all other diabolic Democrats Mayors/Governors/Congress members/Senators are the most perfect Looters and Destroyers of Common Sense, Conscience, Rightfulness, Fairness, Faith&Love&Hope.

Those people are the incarnations of EVIL.

The Cardinal is right !

I hope everyone including businesses abandoned Chicago. It’s a rat hole infested with evil and neanderthals.

Wouldn’t it be nice if these Moron Mayors, and others, would take a basic (correct) history class of America. Maybe start about 1960. Maybe these idiots would see how these riots have devastated some of our cities. Detroit, probably the worst. Before these recent riots, taxpayers have been moving out of these blue cities and states. All I have is a simple BA, but I have friends who never attended college…and they sure have it figured out! Many of these leaders have multiple degrees, but you’d have to look far and wide to find dumber and more ignorant people.

I have to laugh at that stupid moron. She is definitely a huge part of the problem in that sh..hole city. Sorry to all of you who remember or were raised there, but until they gain control of what goes on and arrest people committing crimes, real crimes, you know murder, robbery, arson, rape, assault and battery, ETC and not for breaking her edict on social distancing, they are screwed. I sometimes think about the movie, “Escape from NY”, and how we should put walls up around some of these cities to keep them in so the rest of the country doesn’t have to deal with them. Drop in enough food every week for 50% of the people and let the rest take care of itself.

Camden and Trenton NJ never recovered from their riots. No one rational lives there or goes near there unless you have to use the airport.. On the ourskirt of Newark they built Liberty international airport so you are very careful to make sure of the exit you get off and on to. If you drive into Newark, you may literally lose your life.

It seems every city that elects a black mayor sooner or later turns into a disaster area. We’ve seen it in Washington D.C, Detroit, Baltimore, New York, and now Chicago. I’m sure there are others. Will people never learn?
AS for rebuilding, why bother; they’ll just burn it down again?

Why would anyone in their right mind invest money in the Chicago ghettos? Only a matter of time before the place is burned down or robbed into bankruptcy …. Beetlejuice had better rethink her attitude.

I STILL can’t go to church, but protests with hundreds of people are okay. It makes me so angry! I loathe this city!

There may not be enough people with common sense in Chicago to vote out the leftist machine. Senseable people may have no choice but to flee! For the majority the crime city is a self inflicted wound! They deserve the government, the crime, and the riots they got!

Let her feast upon the ashes of her bitterness and pyrrhic victory. As an African American she now understands how she’s recreated African standards of maladministration in America.

“Mayor this is our city, this is our home”
She can hold on tight to that thought right up to the point where the insurers who indemnify those businesses make it clear that their business insurance cost is going to go up tenfold. Except for the parts of the city where coverage simply won’t available at any price.
