Chaos rocked Chicago last night as masses of violent looters descended on downtown to loot shops along the city’s famous ‘magnificent mile’ gunfire was exchanged with police and many stores had their windows smashed and merchandise seized.
As The Chicago Tribune reports:
Hundreds of people swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores, confronting police and at one point exchanging gunfire with officers, authorities said.
The officers had stopped several people on Lake Street near Michigan Avenue when shots were fired from a passing car around 4:30 a.m., nearly five hours into the widespread vandalism, according to police spokesman Tom Ahern. No officers were shot but a squad car was hit, he said. It was not known if anyone in the gunman’s car was shot.
Ahern said other officers were injured through the night. Earlier, an officer was seen slumped against a building by Grand and Wabash avenues as other other cops tended to him. It was unclear what had happened to him. Ahern had no details on the injuries…
People were seen running out of a PNC Bank, its windows smashed, at Huron and State streets. Down the block, other stores, including a Sally Beauty Supply, had been cleaned out by vandals. Other parts of downtown, including around Grand and Wabash avenues, were littered with trash.

Although the looting ostensibly seems to have taken place organically and spontaneously, some have speculated it was a coordinated event.
This was obviously a planned and semi-coordinated event that then spread via text/word-of-mouth. Appalling. https://t.co/kr6qEhzS4K

High end businesses are leaving New York City, Chicago can’t be to far behind if there are any high end businesses left, thanks to BLM and Antifa.
The reporter wrote “including a Sally Beauty Supply, had been cleaned out by vandals” these people are not vandals as the definition of Vandalism is the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property. The definition of vandalism allows to distinguish hostile behavior aimed to damage or destroy the object, instrumental behavior consisting of damage or destruction caused to an object as a mean to achieve other goals (appropriation of another’s property, sabotage), and behavior motivated by a desire to express oneself through the degradation of objects as well as a play vandalism (breaking window panes).
The term includes property damage, such as graffiti and defacement directed towards any property without permission of the owner.
These people riot, loot, shoot and cause other types of mayhem they are looters and back in the day they way they dealt with looters was shoot them bring back the good old days that will stop this nonsense.
Hilarious….
The sooner democrats can turn the U.S. into a Third World country the sooner people from Third World countries will stop wanting to come here…. because America will be just like their own country.
The sooner the USA stops picking fights in third world shithole countries and selling arms to them, the sooner the USA will finally defeat the liberal world order. Selling armaments overseas while simultaneously selling propaganda is like arming guinea pigs with syringes filled with a deadly virus which only kills guinea pigs.
Remember how we used to laugh at other S**tholes of the world, we’ll they’re here. Soon we’ll be just one big pile. Another S**thole to avoid.
For democrats it will be “mission accomplished.”
(I wish I could say that I don’t want this for my grandkids….but more and more a lot of us grandparents are not feeling sorry for them. They want this!!!)
When are the Good Christian Black BLM members going to rise up and put these vandals out of their organization? There must be many of them who would like to do so. Are the Gangs and terrorists in control of Chicago? I hope there are more sane Blacks hating what is going on, than the Marxists who appear to be in control. It appears that the American Communist Party and George Soros are now in total control of the Democrat Party in Chicago.
Perhaps you need to look into the roots of Black Lives Matter…
and perhaps look into how long the communists have had control of the Democratic party…
You may be surprised to find out the answers.
Exactly!!!!!
Not much longer and Chicago’s economy will collapse.
There that Promised “Change you can believe in” from Obama worshipers. All out celebrating/rioting and getting “Free Stuff” from Vandalism and all from Obama’s BLM Community organizers. Without Obama’s community organizers were would Chicago be?
White liberals are running for their lives…. looking for the next place they can ruin!!!
All those who think they are owed reparation should be directed to contact BLM, Inc. While looting they “seized” said reparation.
“gunfire was exchanged with police and many stores had their windows smashed and merchandise seized”
Seized? What a nice way to say stolen!
Thanks again Mayor Lighthead. I suggest that the insurance companies involved in the area litigate recoupment of damages paid in the absence of maintenance of the rule of law I Gotham city. Chicago should have millions set aside for just such trivialities. Might be interesting to name BLM and Antifa as co-defendants. The $3B Soros contribution might rebuild a few blocks. Lighthead is in complete dereliction of her obligation to Chicago.
open fire on the looters and rioters and blm and antifa,
Shoot NOT To Wound!! These are terrorist destroying cities, no different than Pakistan, Iran, or any other Country in Middle East!!
When is this insanity going to stop? Minneapolis,Portland,Seattle and now Chicago and the mayors and governors just let it all go on! What is wrong with them?
“gunfire was exchanged with police and many stores had their windows smashed and merchandise seized”
Seized? What a nice way to say stolen!
This insanity will end when ‘We The People” Meet the looting Marxists with firepower and determination.
They are all communists- pretending that ‘democratic socialist’ is a separate name- they are all communists, whether you choose to believe it or not. They intend to take down America one way or another- We must show them the door(to jail). This has been planned for years. Read the 1963 Congressional Record where they state the 45 goals of communists0 then you’ll see just how orchestrated all this actually is.(here: http://rense.com/general32/americ.htm)
And who ‘invented’ communism? Rothschild- and that is also who pwns and/or controls 165 of the 185 countries that just got shut down over the IDEA of a virus.
It’s an economic reset. No virus was actually ever isolated(and that has to be done more than once);the tests are flawed;masks useless;medicine deadly if you have any circulatory issue(high blood pressure, heart murmur, poor circulation,etc);ventilators 97.2% fatality rate;padded death counts(they get pd. $13,000 per covid diagnosis &$39,000 if put on ventilator);deaths are actually way less than normal flu- so ask yourself WHY the shutdown?Hmmm
If you want a free America, now is the time to defend what you want.Now is the time to say ENOUGH! and these people are out for death of our country- are you going to keep waiting for someone to save the day? YOU are the savior, and now is the time. This is not a one man job-
Chicago should be ashamed, Black Lives Matters has proven to be a terrorist organization, they loot, in some states they hold up people. If this is not recognize there will be a revolt. What is wrong with Chicago that they do not stop these people. These stores will not remain if their is no protection.
What a sorry place to live. To bad the good people of Chicago don’t take over and finish this B.S. Kick out the stupid Mayor and Gov. while you are at it.
Worthless bunch of crap 💩 I can’t call them humans anymore.
Start shooting them & this will all come to an end. They are animals.
They aren’t even animals. I’ve seen animals behave better than that.
THAT is exactly what they want! Then they can finish inciting a ‘civil war’.
A better strategy is to totally ignore them- turn our attention to cleaning up our issues with water,soil and air- combine the best of old and new technologies to rebuild our infrastructure. If they do not have the ‘audience’ they desire, and they cannot succeed in inciting more violence, they will take their pacifiers and go back to their safe rooms. We can rebuild buildings and statues. We can do what they least expect- have a Black Swan Event. If we do not ‘react’, but instead act in a way they do not anticipate, we will prevail. Otherwise we get sucked into more and more violence- and that is something we do not want. Do NOT stoop to their level. Rise above it, and when they realize they are not getting what they want, and that we are stronger than them, they will go away. After that, remember freedom requires constant vigilance* and that does not mean ‘unless it offends somebody’.
