Article from For Liberty by Norm Leahy.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot warned residents to stay off the streets and obey the strict stay-at-home orders or face possible fines and arrest.
“We will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we have to, we will arrest you,” she said. “Don’t make us treat you like a criminal, but if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and refuse to do what’s necessary to save lives in the middle of a pandemic, we will take you to jail. Period.”
The state’s “stay-at-home” order is a legal mandate, and Chicago police have the authority to issue citations and to arrest those who are not complying with the order.
“If you host a party, promote a party, or go to a party, we are not playing games. We mean business, and we will shut this down one way or another,” she said. “The time for educating people into compliance is over. Don’t be stupid. We’re watching you, and we’re going to take decisive action.”
Lightfoot followed up her press conference by approaching a group of young people at a playground telling them “let’s move on, let’s move on.”
One person said, “Y’all need to find a cure, you’re talking about go home. You go home.”
In mid-April, Lightfoot faced criticism for getting a haircut, despite the shutdown of personal care businesses and her own remarks that “getting your roots done is not essential.”
Lightfoot defended getting her hair done, saying “I’m the public face of this city. I’m on national media and I’m out in the public eye.”

Ahhhhh The Hitlers and the Brown Shirts…aren’t you all glad you voted the DEMONrats into office. Here is your reward. “DO AS WE SAY DO NOT QUEST+ION US OR WE WILL DRAG YOU FROM THE STREETS” Remember this come November or yo are all fools digging your own graves. They don’t give a damn about YOU they only care about themselves and their power over you peasants. This is why they no longer teach you history in schools except for history of phhhhagggotts.
Good One PWB !!…I was going to add something, but you pretty much said it all. The demonRats were hoping to prolong this all the way to the polls… Little do they know at that time it would be Lock & Load, they would lose big time.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot might just be the perfect doppelgänger for Imelda Marcos, former first lady of the Philippines. Her penchant for control could be a course study for “The Rise Of Dicators and Why They Succeed”.
Crooked Lesbo Racists Chicago Mayor is threatening arrest while she breaks the order to get a $500.00 haircut
Sorry but that haircut was not essential and definitely not worth whatever you paid the stylist. It will take more than a haircut to make you a face. Maybe a good man?
Looks more like a $5.00 haircut.
Looks more like a ‘bowl over the head’ buzz… ick!
Nothing could help that hags looks.
Rich, Cement would work well. The only real thing that would work.
Plastic surgery they would never have enough of it to work.
I have always wondered why Chicago politicians consistently ignore daily murders in Chicago but they seem committed to criminalizing those whose only “crime” is … They want to work. There must be something I don’t understand.
Even the demo-rat campaign literature stinks of their corruption and greed for power: it says; SUBMIT and DONATE. As in SUBMIT to my POWER and give me your MONEY.
Gonna take a lot more than a haircut to make her look good. On camera or off.
Is this the same mayor who was seen at a local beauty parlor getting her hair fixed?
Zip it Toots
Arrest this mayor, for violation of the bill of rights. I’m with George Washington hang these turn coats in public squares.
Wake up Chicago. This is what you voted for…BIG GOVERNMENT. Read George Orwell 1984. Read the history of Germany in the 1930’s. You will see your future.
Don’t make us treat you like a criminal. Too late wench. You already have been. And you constantly militarize the police to become agents of the state for YOU ALL.
Lori Lightfoot, I have news for you, there really is go Pandemic. When these Doctors are told by Dr. Anthony Fauci to put all deaths on the COVID-!( death list when most of the deaths are from the COVID-19 or not then you should have enough smarts to realize that it is all Bull Crap and they are just making it look like it is a real Pandemic when it is not.
If a person there gets arrested, don’t sweat it! Because now your a criminal, and now they let you go free! NYC lets criminals out!!!
The “left” women in politics are corrupt mostly. Very sad to see someone who abuses and is a hypocrite. Decent ethical people need to run for office. Election corruption gets them in power?
Says the woman who violated her own stay at home order. AND also who is releasing actual criminals from jail but willing to put law abiding citizens who violate her possibly illegal unlawful orders to stay at home……. Hypocrite much Mayor Lightfoot??????
Wake up Fellow Citizens – look at the states that are forcing these edicts – every one is coming from A democratic administration – when are you folks going to wake up and send them home – why are we allowing these ignorant individuals that have absolutely no ability to tie their shoes let alone run anything.
The ignorant, ghetto mentality in Chicago is pervasive
US Attorney General William Barr, Where are you?
What a typical Democrat hypocrite. You voted her into office using no common sense. Deal with it cry babies or get cojones and start electing real ethical patriotic Americans. Wake up, every major city in the USA with a Democratic Mayor is failing.
People like her are all power hungrary. They think they are a law unto themselves the Supreme Court will over turn their draconion laws. People will will remember her for how she ruined their lives.
Just curious, but is Mayor Lightfoot bulletproof?
I imagine there are armed Patriots in Chicago (however sparsely they may be) that may just take “matters into their own hands” and simultaneously end her draconian orders when they end her.
Because Lori, “From a place you cannot see will come a sound you will not hear”.
…and that sound is NOT the Stalwall studio fart…nope-
Don’t know about her foot, but she’s certainly light on something – intelligence, maybe?
I don’t think that Mayor Lightfoot is essential to Chicago and I definitely do not agree that her appearance to the public makes any difference at all. She is just another liberal who thinks that the law does not apply to HER. Quit kidding yourself Mayor. You are not important in the total scheme of things.
