CHICAGO — Widespread damage is reported throughout Chicago after looting and rioting began around midnight Monday. Witnesses report hundreds of people smashing their way into stores throughout Michigan Avenue, areas in the South Loop and the near North Side. WGN’s Judy Wang was on the scene early and reported seeing people filling trash bags with merchandise. She also saw crowd trashing the streets outside the stores and turning over garbage cans.

Black female mayor
Black police chief
Black onbudsmen
Black inner-city teachers
1/2 Black POTUS (eight long years!”
Black 1st lady
Majority millionaire black athletes in all the thug-balls
Majority blacks in all lower government offices
None of the above made any a dent in anti-social black behaviors. I looked at Africa as it is today. I see it as a model for what’s coming to us if they ever get complete control of this country.
May God grant me an early exit from this planet!

Looks like Chicago’s dark age “communities” made their presence known again last night. The precedent has now been set now for those “communities”, upon any future racially based manufactured excuse to perpetrate similar looting. Wised up business owners will now move a lot of those looted businesses outside the city limits of Chicago leaving the past so-called Miracle Mile into an abandoned Miserable Mile.

Any business that reopens after being looted twice in a few months is terminally stupid.

More peaceful protests in Demo-land! Unbelievable. Covetousness leads to theft, mayhem and murder.

The poor underprivileged have started their Christmas, or Holiday if you're a progressive, shopping early this year. Seven words, "We should have picked our own cotton".

Even Politico is trying to blame this on white folks who are trying to sow insurrection, when this is all democrat party owned. Well maybe they are right, for democrat leadership does tend to be all white. Though they try to hide that. BLM is a leftist, marxist and socialist mob right now, and they just want to destroy everything.

As a Chicago area resident for 50 years this makes me sick. It looked like trick or treat night...they all come with their pillow cases and shopping bags, and roam from store to store! Nothing says Justice like a Coach purse.

posted too soon. Lest we forget, there is no way on earth any democrat was going to be able to stop all of this destruction, thanks to the previous mayor, Rahm 'Tiny Dancer' Emmanuel. He left enough destruction in his wake, thanks to Obama, so that there is no way this could be solved by a democrat.

"Democrats always achieve the opposite of their stated goals."
That's one of the rules a local fellow came up with in PA.
Still, that is changing. Liberal goalsare main the same, but instead of lying about it, they're boasting about it. Which is why you have Chicago, among others.

One of the top stories in today's Chicago Tribune: Kim Foxx drops more felony cases as Cook County state’s attorney than her predecessor, Tribune analysis shows. (It's behind a paywall so no link) The looting won't stop until Kim Foxx is replaced, replaced by someone who isn't a Soros puppet.

Unfortunately the leftist Governors and Mayors who are now running the Democrat States where the rioting has been taking place and other budding politicians of the same Marxist persuasion are the people who one by one are going to be knocking out the old corrupt liberal Democrat politicians like Biden as they take over and redirect the Democrat Party into Marxist and socialism. Notice that the new wave of socialist and Marxist Democrats are essentially allied with Communist China and Cuba that are Marxist countries, and not Russia that is no longer a Communist or socialist country that has turned into a gangster run place looking to make as much money for the Russian oligarchs as possible.

The Community's claim to fame: their ancestors were slaves, most not bothering to travel more than 50 miles away after having been freed. They're the only component in the USA Diversity stew to complain endlessly about how discrimination keeps them down, their social problems are legendary (rates of felony convictions, unwed births, failure to achieve educationally), and they happily turn violent at the slightest provocation. Seems Abe Lincoln was right about bLACK people all along.

A friend was planning to visit her daughter who, inexplicably, lives in downtown Chicago.

OOPS, hit the submit too soon.
I hope my friend doesn't go to Chicago now, she's an airhead liberal, and wouldn't have any idea what to do.

Chicago wildings and Mayor Lightfoot was where? Absent. Her silence is deafening. But she will quick to blame POTUS, of course. When will the citizens of Chicago ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Why American negroes put up with nationwide discrimination for so long escapes me. Even today, a Trump-supporter black buddy of mine grunts "white superiority" desparingly now and then. Guess they just can't hep it!
As for black athletes, I hope they realize they're squatting themselves out of lucrative careers.

The people voted for these idiots that continue to allow this to happen. They deserve what they get. Just don't come to us after and want money to rebuild. If you allow this you deserve what you get. Until you demand that this stop you will keep getting more. FOOLS.

Amazing that all these cities ran by Democrats for many decades hate each other, are racists, bankrupt, and barren of any principles, ethics, morality, conscience, and are corrupt, liars, and thieves. The only solution is to burn them off, and allow nature to make them green again.

This is a Black version of a CASHLESS SOCIETY where the money is not required for the stuff they get.
