Yes, yes, and women out in public need to do more to prevent themselves from getting raped: dress differently, hire bodyguards, avoid places like bars, padlock their underwear, etc.
Just last Thursday, nine people stormed a store along Michigan Avenue, resulting in the arrest of just one offender, a 16-year-old boy.
He was charged with one felony count of retail theft.
Lightfoot blamed retailers for not making safety a priority.
"We also got to push retailers. Some of the retailers downtown and [on] Michigan Avenue, I will tell you, I'm disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won't institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they've got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night. Chaining high-end bags, these purses seem to be something that is attracting a lot of attention on these organized retail theft units," Lightfoot said.
