Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) rejected calls for federal HOPE response to the looting and violence overnight in Chicago, opting instead to push for more gun control.
A reporter asked Mayor Lightfoot about Illinois House Republican Jim Durkin’s calls for the National Guard and others to step in and restore order. She responded by making clear she does not want “federal troops” in Chicago. Rather, she wants more gun control.
Lightfoot called for “common sense gun control,” saying, “We cannot continue to have circumstances where anybody and their brother can go across the border, or into other parts of Illinois, and bring illegal guns into the city of Chicago.”
Breitbart News reported that rioters and looters took to the streets of downtown Chicago hours after a 20-year-old man was shot and wounded by police in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on Sunday afternoon.
Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown described the 20-year-old as an armed male who allegedly pointed a gun at officers and “shot at officers first.”
Police returned fire and wounded the suspect, and he was hospitalized thereafter.
Brown indicated that calls for looting in downtown Chicago were issued via social media in reaction to the shooting, and he sent 400 officers into downtown. But Breitbart News reported looting and violence still took place, and this included gunfire and violence against police.

Better stated, send the people that hate America to a country of their choosing. Arrest the whole mess of the rioters. Let them pick their happy place and send them there, and let the Americans enjoy what America is supposed to be. That includes all the commie politicians. If they love communism so much, there are several countries they can choose from. Venezuela, North Korea, China. Plenty to choose from. We'll pay for their relocation and send all their belongings to them.
Comon, stop with these racist insults. People can be proud of their cultures and still be proud of America. Should Clarence Thomas also be sent "back to Africa"? Besides, I don't think Africa would want the rioters.
We wish, but it will never happen........these migrants, illegal or not............come here with their gang tatoos and attitude, their "in the HOOD" mentality and expect the rest of us to change into their 3rd world rat hole. They wave their sh.t flags from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico etc......like it's a symbol of some great society. When they come here to riot, rob, assault.........real hard retaliation should be taken to stop their "cultural deftect" immediately.......don't need them, don't want them and they should be eliminated from all handouts........THEREFORE YOU MUST DUMP ALL SO CALLED DEMOCRATS IN THE NEXT ELECTION.....We've got to rid ourselves of Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, Feinstein (with her former Chinese spy/driver), Tlaib, Omar, Cortez, Schiff, Nadler and the rest of the degenerate left wingers.
You don't need gun control, you need to round up the wild apes and ship them back to Africa so they can run wild and free since they are NOT FIT to live in a civilized society!!
This statement is racist. Sure there are people acting like animals, but what about antifa? They are mostly white and still act like animals. To suggest that people are good or bad based on the color of their skin is bigoted. This is the kind of speech that gets conservatives in trouble.
The useless left wing mayors and governors........fear the fact that gun sales have exploded. These morons want to defund cops, and at the same time end the 2nd amendment.........in other words ...kill us, make us all unprotected victims.
How many HUNDREDS of Gun Control Laws do you need?
So LightWeight-Lightfoot you mean to say all those laws were NOT “common sense gun control”?
Chicago already has some of the most draconian Gun Control Laws in the Country!
she looks like a zombie........from the "Walking dead". Notice how the cities elect the most stupid people to run the place. Big cities with commerce, transportation etc, run by morons who usually are racists, bigots, economic idiots and theives of taxpayer money. People that vote in DC, Minneapolis, NYC, LA, Chicago, Atlanta etc........all progressive/socialist pigs..........are so stupid.....then they want the rest of us to pay for their bankrupt mess.
Ok, Lori; let's start wth YOUR guns. See how you like it when YOU are attacked and can't defend yourself.
This insane reptile woman needs to be disposed of and a real human put in her place - with a brain! They already have one of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. She could shut down the highway leading out of Chicago so no one can go to another state to get an illegal gun. How does that hit the people in Chicago? Until the actual problem of the ghettos are resolved, this will continue.
