Wuhan virus ain’t going to slow down the gangs and criminals in Chiraq.
From MyFoxChicago:
“Twenty-one people were shot, three of them fatally, across Chicago on Thursday.
Thursday’s shootings follow a Wednesday in which six people were wounded in citywide gun violence.”

Just imagine how high Chiraq’s shooting numbers could go if they #defundpolice!

With leadership like this, why would Walmart want to stick around?
“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Tells Concerned Alderman: “Your 100% Full of Sh*t”
If you owned a business in a city (most-likely a blue one) where politicians allow rioters and looters to freely roam and destroy your property, what is your incentive to rebuild and stay there? Especially when many (again, blue) cities are talking about defunding the police?
Apparently Walmart is considering not rebuilding in Chiraq. And the mayor is trying to save face for her failure to control the chaos.
Washington Times reports that Walmart might leave. From their story:
“A local radio station reported on a conference call between the Democratic mayor and business leaders affected by the chaos. WBBM’s Craig Dellimore said she “pleaded” with the company to stay.
Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, was cautious about making any new commitments to the city as it assesses the damage.
“I think in the case of Walmart, what they were focused on was assessing the damage,” Ms. Lightfoot said, the station reported June 4. “They are doing an effort to donate fresh produce, to the extent of what’s left so it doesn’t perish, and other perishables, and they are taking their time, as I would expect. My hope is that they will come back.”

BTW Chicago residents: Even if Walmart does stay you will have less money to spend at their stores: “Chicago mayor says taxpayers may have to foot bill for $700M budget shortfall.”

Two MyFoxChicago headlines out of Chiraq yesterday:
Chicago sees its most violent day in 60 years: “Chicago recorded 18 murders on May 31, making it the city’s deadliest day in 60 years. The dubious milestone was reached on a day Chicago was roiled by another round of protests and looting following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.”
35 shot, 5 fatally, in Chicago weekend gun violence: “Five people were killed and 30 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago over the weekend. Last weekend, 85 people were shot across Chicago, 24 of them fatally, in the city’s most violent weekend of the year.”
And yet we have this:
And this:
Looted Chicago businesses rebuild: “These black and brown folk put their blood, sweat and tears into maintaining these businesses and showing up for their community,” said Aaliyah Lara, who raised over $20,000 for three minority-owned businesses. “It’s only right that I do the same.”
Way to watch out for your fellow man, BLM.

Don’t hold your breath. This is the same womyn who violated her own social distancing rules to get HER hair cut because “she’s in the public eye.”
Please explain why this is OK?
Yet churches still face restrictions?
Good luck getting any one to comply with any future “stay-at-home” orders. The politicians and medical “experts” have erased ALL credibility (what they had left) by endorsing their preferred-politically-motivated protests during a pandemic.

“Call the police.”
How’s that going to work with libtards calling for the police to be defunded or disbanded? More liberal logic for ‘ya…
Please, pick a lane…

Yet if you are Mayor Lori Lightfoot, that was NEVER a problem for you in the first place.
Good news, people of Chiraq – you will be allowed to get a haircut! With RULES, of course. Rules that DON’T apply to your good mayor.
MyFoxChicago reports that this Friday barbershops will have very specific requirements to reopen and cut your hair. But they can’t cut all of your hair. From the story:
“In Chicago specifically, the industry will open sometime in early June and you cannot get any services that require removing your mask.
When they do open, coronavirus safety measures will change the way services are provided.
“Masks are required. For barbers, for example, they won’t be able to cut the mustache or facial hair if it requires taking the mask off,” Bradford said. “I won’t be able to cut it. I have to follow the guidelines and I don’t want any issues.”
The city of Chicago has put up Phase 3 guidelines on their website. In some cases, the recommendations will hit beauty professionals financially.
“Makeup artists won’t be able to do an entire face of makeup. They can do lashes,” Bradford said.”
Read the whole story here.
I guess doing only eyelashes keeps you much safer than doing an entire face of makeup. Probably much safer than getting a haircut during a stay at home order when you pose with your hair stylist without social distancing.

Mayor Lightfoot (r) poses with her stylist after SHE was ALLOWED a hair cut, while violating her own social distancing rules
Washington state announced a four-phase plan to safely re-open their state which the Gov. Inslee dubbed, “Safe Start.”
Of course the “Safe Start” plan to re-open is much more complicated than the quick decision to shutdown the state and order residents to stay home. Yet Chiraq has got Washington State beat in their approach to re-open…
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Chicago Department of Public Health announced a new five-phase plan to re-open their city. From the press release:
“The framework – organized into five phases in alignment with the State of Illinois’ “Restore Illinois” plan – will advise Chicagoans on how to safely exit from shelter-in-place while continuing to prioritize the health of our most vulnerable residents.”
Guess what the name of this five-phase plan is? I hope you’re not drinking a beverage when you read this: “Protecting Chicago.”
The five phases include:
PHASE ONE: STRICT STAY-AT-HOME
PHASE TWO: STAY-AT-HOME
PHASE THREE: CAUTIOUSLY REOPEN
PHASE FOUR: GRADUALLY RESUME
PHASE FIVE: PROTECT
The original goal of “flatten the curve” has now morphed into the following seven requirements to transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3:
•COVID-19 Case Rate (over 14 days, as a rolling average):Declining rate of new cases, based on incidence and/or percent positivity
Severe Outcome Rate (over 14 days, as a rolling average): Stable or declining rates of cases resulting in hospitalization, ICU admission, and/or death
•Hospital Capacity Citywide (over 14 days, as a rolling average): Hospital beds: <1800 COVID patients, ICU beds: <600 COVID patients, Ventilators: <450 COVID patients
•Testing Capacity: Test at least 5% of Chicago residents per month
•Testing Percent Positivity Rates (over 14 days, as a rolling average):Congregate: <30% positive tests; Community: <15% positive tests
•Syndromic Surveillance (over 14 days, as a rolling average): Declining emergency department visits for influenza-like illness and/or COVID-like illness
•Case Investigation & Contact Tracing:Expanded system in place for congregate and community investigations and contact tracing
Read the whole press release and five-phase plan here.
Meanwhile, while the good mayor is oh-so-concerned with protecting Chiraq, the criminals keep up their business:
Chiraq’s criminals violate stay at home order: 21 shot, 7 killed last Tuesday in most violent day of 2020
Wuhan virus ain’t stopping Chiraq shootings: 22 wounded, 1 killed this past weekend
And this is happening: “Chicago hides names of released prisoners from police”
Way to “protect” Chicago.

From the mayor who violated her own social distancing rules in order to get HER hair cut. After all, SHE’S in the public eye so she be special.
She states that if you violate the “law,” you will be taken to jail. PERIOD.
I’m curious as to which LAW the good mayor will cite if you violate a stay at home ORDER.
Meanwhile in Chiraq: “4 dead, 30 hurt in Chicago weekend shootings so far”
And this: “Illinois releases 146 sex offenders, including 3 sexually dangerous persons”
Seems the REAL criminals in Chiraq and Illinois are the ones getting a free pass.
Welcome to the new America under the Wuhan virus tyranny.

Just a little over a week ago Chiraq had their most violent day of shootings so far this year. And despite the “stay at home” order, the shootings continued to rack up this past weekend.
Apparently it’s still business as usual in Chiraq.
From MyFoxChicago: A man was killed and 22 other people, including a 2-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, have been injured by gunfire across Chicago so far this weekend.
The fatal attack happened Saturday night in Englewood on the South Side. Two men were sitting in a parked vehicle at 11:56 p.m. when someone walked up and fired shots in the 5700 block of South May Street, according to Chicago police. A 22-year-old man was hit multiple times in the side and ran to a nearby alley.
He was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified him as Alexis Perez of Edgewater on the North Side.
The other man, 39, was hit in both shoulders and taken to the same hospital in fair condition, police said.
The 2-year-old and a 28-year-old man were hurt in the weekend’s first shooting Friday evening in Gresham on the South Side.
They were in a vehicle about 6 p.m. on West 84th Street when another vehicle pulled up and someone fired shots, hitting the man and the toddler, police said. The man’s vehicle rammed into a porch and came to a rest in the 8400 block of South Damen Avenue.
The man was shot in the back of the head and was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in critical condition, police said. The boy was hit in the foot, and his condition was stabilized at Little Company of Mary Hospital.
A teenage girl was also injured Saturday night in Ashburn on the Southwest Side. The 17-year-old was a passenger in a vehicle at a stop sign at 11:01 p.m. on 79th Place when a white Ford Taurus with dark tinted windows pulled up, according to police. Two males got out of the Taurus and fired multiple shots, hitting the girl in the leg. The girl flagged down officers in Marquette Park and was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in good condition.
Six people were hurt in a series of shootings lasting just over an hour early Sunday in Lawndale and Englewood.
The most recent attack left three people injured in Lawndale on the West Side.
At least six other people have been shot throughout Chicago since 5 p.m. Friday.
Last week, three people were killed and 19 others were injured in gun violence across the city over Easter weekend.
