Chicago alderman slams state AG Kim Foxx over looting response

Politicians make decisions about our lives but the ones they make usually don't affect theirs, so, for example, those who oppose "Trump's wall" are not going to be dealing directly with illegal aliens coming across the border. The same is true of the leaders of large inner cities who have law enforcement stand down against rioters and looters--they don't own the businesses that were looted and burned down, so their decision to allow this to happen with impunity is no big deal for them.

But Raymond Lopes, the alderman for Chicago's 15th Ward, had his home and office vandalized by the rioters and he wasn't too happy with the Cook County State Attorney General, Kim Foxx, who basically allowed the rioting to go unpunished.

When rioters know they can get away with their actions, they're thinking, "Hey, free stuff!" and "Let's bust up some s**t." It's the dregs of human nature.

Lopez spoke on Fox News' "Fox and Friends" Friday about Foxx who is definitely not his friend about the second bout of rioting taking place in the city where the wind blows.

"This is too little, too late at the moment," Lopez told hosts Jillian Mele and Todd Piro. "We should've been doing felony charges two months ago when the city of Chicago was first rioted and ransacked by these organized looters."

But did Lopez speak out two months ago before his home was targeted?

Well, it turns out that he did call out for help as early as May 31st in a leaked conference call. His call for help fell on deaf Democratic ears.

Lopez added: "Now to say that we're finally taking action after the second round only sends the message that Chicago does not have a unified crime-fighting strategy because politicians are too busy bickering than they are protecting the public."

Lopez's comments come after the incompetent Foxx said, "Pointing fingers of blame will not make us any safer ... won't bring us any closer to justice ... stop the shooting or the looting, and our communities deserve more," in an op-ed for the Chicago Tribune on Wednesday.

Except pointing fingers will get the roaches to run into the daylight.

Since her tenure began in November 2019, Foxx has dismissed over 25,000 cases and some include murder cases! That's about 35 percent higher than the previous AG.

"The approach Kim Foxx is taking is to deflect from her responsibility and her failure to actually do her job, which is to prosecute criminals," Lopez correctly stated.

"You have to show that there are repercussions for bad behavior. That's not a partisan issue. That's not a political issue," he said. "That is a universal issue that if you do something wrong you must be held accountable, and she has failed consistently over the years, and now this is just a culmination of all of those efforts."

Except it has become a partisan issue. The left has been guilty of complacency over crime that emanates from antifa and Black Lives Matter rioting because they believe it hurts President Trump, and the mainstream media will support them on this issue.

Lori Lightfoot's death stare

In June, Lopez pleaded with zombie Mayor Lori Lightfoot for help after rioting and looting was done to honor the death of George Floyd. In an audio obtained by WTTW-TV, the Democratic Lightfoot told him: "I think you're 100 percent full of s---, is what I think."

Turns out it was Lightfoot's foot that had s**t on it.

Chicago PD launched a website showing video of the looting. They hope to identify the scumbags who were stealing Gucci bags they planned to use to carry the bread they so badly looted for. Lopez says the site isn't going to do much if the elected officials don't work together.

"The true test will be whether or not CPD, whether or not the state's attorney, and whether or not Lori Lightfoot pushes people to act," Lopez said. "Simply putting videos out for the sake of entertainment will do nothing unless we are willing to prosecute and hold people responsible."

The people who can afford to leave the big cities like Chicago and New York are already hitting the trail. Who in their right mind can blame them?
