Chicago Students Riot and Loot at Strip Mall During Gun Walkout
Blue Lives Matter ^ | March 15, 2018 | Anonymous

A crowd of Chicago students demanded gun control by rioting and looting on Wednesday.

A crowd of students swarmed a south side strip mall during Wednesday’s National Walkout Day demonstration, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

“They pretty much trashed this whole area,” GameStop manager Robert Owens told Blue Lives Matter on Thursday.

The nationwide demonstration, touted as a demand for gun control legislation, was slated to last for exactly 17 minutes, in remembrance of each of the 17 people murdered during the Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the Chicago Sun Times reported.

Not all of the protests were peaceful.

On Chicago’s South Side, Simeon Career Academy students descended on businesses situated in a strip mall behind the school, and began harassing customers and employees.

“Things started out cool,” a Potbelly Sandwich Shop manager, who did not want to be further identified, told Blue Lives Matter. “But then some of the guys started yelling, threatened the employees, and said they were going to come back [into the kitchen area] and make their own food.”

It’s time to start suing the organizers and the schools who sanctioned this event.

The silence of the mainstream media in Chicago is also nothing new. It does not fit their intended narrative, so this story is being widely ignored.

Too bad a local store owner didn’t shoot a couple.

Raise your hand if you believe this ever had anything to do with gun control.

Those of you who raised your hands, go to the nearest high bridge and jump off.

After my mother and Aunt died last year, I sold my share of the inheritance to my brother, and I’m gone. I grew up in Beverly Woods on the South Side. We had a beautiful condo on the 53rd floor overlooking the lake.

I’m gone. The place is a toilet.

Remember the Korean shopowners who protected their property with rifles during the Rodney King riots?

They took things seriously.

Thought they were worried about the “students” safety?

Today I’m joining the NRA.

I let my membership lapse after the NRA gave campaign funding to Harry Reid. I can hold a grudge pretty long but now is the time to make a statement to the left by re-joining.
