Citing threats, Mayor Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’

[Robovski]

Yep yep. Par for the course.

Isn't across the street technically another block? If I was a protestor I'd just go there.

[King Green]

On no, the bastard President is multiplying! Quick, get the heavy explosives!

Ah good, another idiot doesn't like the first amendment. Lets see, what will happen. Will go through the court system, will easily get struck down, will cost the city of Chicago a bunch of money. Same as every time this goes to the courts.

The right to protest is enshrined in the First Amendment of the US constitution. That includes outside people's houses, especially the houses of public figures (public figures generally have even stricter standards on what you can do to restrict speech around).

I'm really tired of idiot politicians deciding the first amendment doesn't apply if they're butthurt.

What glorious hypocrisy

She helped make this mob. She gave the cops stand down orders to let them loot, riot, and destroy. Only now does she acknowledge violent elements in this mob she let grow, and only when they threaten her and her home.

I guess all the people that have been assaulted or had their businesses looted vandalized or burned didn't have the right to safety like she does.

Rules for thee, but not for me. Typical for too much of the left nowadays.

Meanwhile, BLM creeps are going through residential neighborhoods shotuing "Wake up, Motherf*ckers! Wake up!" And shining flashlights through the windows.
