After protests earlier in response to the death of George Floyd Monday in Minneapolis, riots are continuing in downtown Chicago Saturday night.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot held a news conference at 8 p.m. A curfew has been implemented from 9 p.m. through 6 a.m. Sunday.
Earlier Saturday, protesters walked onto Lake Shore Drive blocking traffic in both directions. Prior to that, protesters took aim at two CPD squad cars in front of Trump Tower.
There are also reports of looting and graffiti.(Snip) CTA and Metra have announced service suspensions.
Is there a reporter who can tell US how many Rent A Thugs were wearing masks ?

It's a good thing I am not in charge. The first time someone picked up a brick or a molotov cocktail aimed at the police I'd greenlight a rooftop sniper.

"Watch Live: Riots Underway!" What does it say about our society that this is a news promo?
This is TK's home town. He just came in to give me the update on Los Angeles, my home town. What a rich heritage we both share. /s There are features emerging that remind us both of the Rodney King riot. The beating of Reginald Denny and other drivers was the first time mobs attacked vehicles and pulled occupants from them. It was the first time mobs stormed onto highways and freeways, disrupting traffic on major arteries and instilling fear in the general population. When the rioters moved up La Brea into Hollywood, it was the first time destruction came to upscale neighborhoods. All of these riots, in diverse cities and regions of our country, are following the R.K. pattern. Why only destroy their stores and communities when the really good stuff is in the tony neighborhoods and suburban satellites? Its time to share the misery and bring socialist utopia to everyone.
The global commies have turned to burning the country down because their phony lockdown and attempt to crash the American economy was another failed Acme product. This is enemy action. To quote Andrew B., "War!" Thank God for President Trump.

The Floyd death is not the reason for the "protests", it's an excuse to loot and riot.

After months of reporters grabbing their pearls in horror every time 3 or 4 people gathered on a beach without "social distancing", suddenly large masses of leftist idiots are running wild shoulder to shoulder and nobody mentions the China virus.

Yup, looks like Soros and his Antifa goons think that their "moment" is finally at hand, so they're going all out to coordinate simultaneous riots all over the country. Big mistake. They really have miscalculated. They have no idea how many of us are ready to fight back and this time fight them to the finish.
If this is the hot Civil War 2.0 they've been dreaming of, they're about to get it and they're not going to like it.

I have been watching the Fox News Channel on and off this evening. I have found that they have about the dumbest talking heads around, as they keep referring to the criminal rioters who have been looting and perpetrating mass arson as “demonstrators” and “protestors” apparently unable to differentiate between lawful demonstrators and protestors and the criminal rioters who have caused severe damage to the commercial infrastructure in inner city low income and minority group areas.

Why does she have to order a curfew when there are already shelter in place orders. Looks to me like SIP is over.

The media is claiming that the FBI has infiltrated groups to ascertain who's paying for the thugs and who's running them. They tell us this about jihadis too - that they're surveilling them. Seems to me the FBI is in league with all thugs since nothing ever happens to arrest any of them before they commit their crimes. They just let the free-for-all continue. How about going after Soros? That too hard?

We had a very small demonstration by blm at our state capitol building.
So, ALL of us are forced indoors until Monday! over a bit of graffiti and a mall that got a few windows broken.
Not even Chicago or New York got beat down harder than us in Utah!

Rioters could care less about curfews. They only understand FORCE.

Early Sunday morning the city, not the protesters/rioters, blocked off Lake Shore Drive for the next round. From Twitter: "the city is working closely with the organizers of rallies and protests scheduled to take place within the area this afternoon to provide an alternative, optional route for marches to peacefully and safely return in Chicago."

Surprisingly they used the correct word to describe what is happening -- riots, not protests.
