Chicago Mayor Bans Protests On Her Block: ‘I Have a Right To Make Sure My Home Is Secure’

Fact checked
Chicago's far-left mayor Lori Lightfoot has ordered Chicagoans not to use guns to defend themselves even though the city has descended into lawlessness and chaos in recent weeks under her leadership.

Chicago’s far-left Mayor Lori Lightfoot has defended the ban on protests on the block where she lives, telling reporters that she has a right to make sure her home is secure.

I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot said.

In June Mayor Lightfoot ordered Chicagoans not to use guns to defend themselves against violent criminals even though the city has descended into lawlessness and chaos under her leadership. Now she is now receiving 24/7 protection from cops including officers stationed at the residence she shares with her wife.

Comparisons to how the Police Department has protected previous mayors’ homes are unfair, Lightfoot told reporters, because “this is a different time like no other.”

Chicago Tribune report: Aside from the expanded police presence to block protesters from reaching her home, Lightfoot already receives 24/7 protection from cops including officers stationed at the residence. The aggressive policing has sometimes siphoned away resources from the area’s police district, some sources with knowledge of the situation said, leading to quiet grumbling.

Both Lightfoot and Brown noted there are laws on the books banning residential protests, but Brown acknowledged the Police Department does not always enforce them. Brown said the city tries to give “wiggle room” for protesters.

Brown also cited instances where peaceful protests have been “hijacked” by agitators as reason for keeping demonstrators off Lightfoot’s block.

We have seen very peaceful First Amendment protests for the most part but embedded in each of those protests have been very violent people. And they’re embedded. They put up umbrellas. And they come for a fight,” Brown said. “So we have to prepare for what we’ve seen.”

  1. You’re supposed to protect all the people and property in your city you fucking Commie trash.

  2. Something is coming for you very soon that all the guards and so called special privilege cannot protect you from. Enjoy the ride you asked for it.

  3. So Mayor Beetle Juice can use the Chicago police to secure her home and property and block off the street 24/7 but not uses them to do the same and protect the city and its people. Make perfect liberal progressive socialism democracy sense but not at all American”s Republic common sense.
    Wake up Chicago, your mayor doesn’t give a damn about you or your city. Its will only get worse till you remove her asap and put someone in who really give a S__T like Trump, me or over half your city or our country.

    CHAZ, BLM, Antifa, NFAC, MSM. All bankroll and approved by the deep state, Rothschild’s, Soro’s, Bushes, Clinton’s, Obama’s, Liberal Progressive socialists, the democrats party, RINOs and others.
