While Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot says that she respect’s the jury’s acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse in his Wisconsin murder trial, she had some strong words for Judge Bruce Schroeder’s handling of the case, saying that the judge “put his thumb on the scale” with some of his actions during the trial. (Snip) “Why on Earth did that child have an AR-15, leave his home in Antioch, and think that he had the right to go up to another state to supposedly protect a city?” she said.(Snip)“He had no business being there. None,” she added.

Light-brained Lightfoot, the Ugliest mayor Chicago has ever had should shut her Pie Hole. With a Murder Rate like her city has, she should talk about people running around the Streets armed. Jeesh. That Lesbian really does have Balls!

Yep, that's the ticket. A 17-year old kid has bamboozled the entire legal system of the State of Wisconsin through his magnetism and charm. That's the ticket, Mayor Beetlejuice?
Or, it could be that the kid was actually innocent and a bunch of your citizens headed up I-94 to Kenosha to riot and loot.

Wait, this is the mayor of the most barbarian city in the USA telling us we don't have the right to defend ourselves from rioters who are the ones who have no right to be doing what they are doing? No wonder her city is an ever expanding graveyard for teenagers with guns. She should apologize and resign.
I used to live in Chicago back before you were taking your life in your hands going to the grocery store.

And what percentage of the rioters were from out of state? I guess you're allowed to travel freely in these United States now as long as your intent is to riot, loot and burn. Maybe you should figure out how to control crime in your city before commenting. More people are shot in Chicago in one weekend than in Afghanistan in a year.

Lighthead, look at the same evidence as the jury did, then you will wake up. But, typical that you choose to cow tow to the cnn and msnbc narratives.

Zombie-impersonator Light-head needs to be ignored but genuflecting media can’t get enough of her idiocy.
Only the brainwashed take any advice or observations from her seriously. How many shooting deaths have occurred under HER watch?

Put a sock in it, Lori. I would think you have enough to worry about with the soaring murder rate in the city you took an oath to protect. How many deaths in Chicago on your watch? If protests over black deaths were sincere, your city would be under siege.

This garbage about ''having no right to be there'' is getting tiresome. He had the same right to be there as anyone else, it is public property. The rioters had no right to destroy the property of others. Why are they so fixated on his crossing state lines and going to another state? Americans are allowed to travel from state-to-state anytime they like, for any reason or no reason at all. What leftist really mean when they parrot these talking-points is ''how dare he interfere with our storm troopers as they are rioting for our cause''.

I’m sorry for the second post, but I want to point out the as far as hand “on the scale”, Lori needs to look no further than her own Kim Foxx, who has thrown out hundreds of felony cases. Very soft on crime.

The entire tragedy can be laid at the foot of Wisconsin Governor Terry Evers who did absolutely nothing to contain the Kenosha rioters. We are being ill served by cowardly politicians like Evers and Lightfoot who hide behind security teams and then let our cities be destroyed.

Same woman supported a "No Charges/Mutual Combat" Decision when multiple 'known gang members' traded 89 shots with each other in FRONT OF COPS, with half a dozen wounded...then blamed the GUNS for having crossed state lines.

A visceral reaction from an observer who was not present in the courtroom for three weeks. Its hard to conclude who is the biggest jerk as a big city mayor: DeBlasio or Lightfoot.

Chicago must be so proud of their elected officials.
Does she even know the facts that were presented at the trial?
Why do democrats seem to be devoid of facts in so many instances?
They truly need to stop allowing National Propaganda Radio, Clown News Network and Mostly Schiff 'N Bull Crap to spew misinformation.

The facts she highlights are all wrong. Everybody knows that now. His family lives there; he spent the day working as a lifeguard; the curfew caught him and he had to spend the night; he went the next day with a friend to a business that had employed (the friend, I guess) and had been partly burned down the night beore, and offered to help. The gun was in Waukesha already, and sorry Mayor, guns are legal. They went to the business and he stood out front or something and offered medical help to anyone who needed it and by the way that was the rioters And whle he stood there Rosenbaum came up and threatened to kill him, then came back and did it again and this time grabbed his gun. The kid was afraid for his life and he shot Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum threatened his life in word and deed. For this you get shot. Unsurprisingly. Others heard the shots and began to chase him and soon there was a mob chasing and striking him and to all reasonable appearances trying to kill. It is clear he shot t save his life and he'd be dead if he hadn't. The donkeys think we have no right to save our own lives. Criminal privilege.

So, according to Mayor Heavyfoot, only elected/non-elected Bureaucrats can tell you where you can go and when you can go. A policy firmly implanted within the Deep State in DC. Will, show us you papers be far behind? Добро пожаловать в Америку, 2021, товарищи.

Lightfoot said this because this is the kind of thing she does everyday, much like the democrats and Russian collusion, the democrats accuse others that with which the democrats are guilty...

So she is an old trial lawyer, I'd like to see her track record. I guess if you stink at being a lawyer you go into politics. I think she should worry about her own murderous city and stop worrying about something that has nothing to do with her. What a loser.
