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.”

As I wrote elsewhere, this has everything to do with Marx and Engels:
But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.
And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or indirect, of society, by means of schools, etc? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.
The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more disgusting, the more, by the action of Modern Industry, all the family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour.
The Chicago Police Department responded when the store owners contacted the authorities.
Feral hominid bipeds demonstrating one of the reasons for keeping sacred “the right of the people to keep and bear arms”.
Good, teach businesses what to expect if they invest in that city.
To protect the individual against the mob.
That is so brilliant it could only have come from Chicago.
My dad grew up in Chicago. Years ago, he told me I would never survive a stroll through his old neighborhood. I can’t imagine how bad it is now.
Or arresting the criminals who did it. Walmart should close that store since the residents don’t seem to appreciate it.
I let my membership lapse when the NRA endorsed Mitch McConnell.
I’m seriously considering re-joining.
Just chimpin’
The crowd made the point that store owners and clerks should possess and use guns to defend the stores.
It would be interesting if a CC store owner shot one (or more) of them.
Ferals being ferals.
Yeah, I did a five year renewal a couple of weeks ago...I had let mine lapse as well.
I wrote this on another thread this morning:
This is the higher cost of doing business in these areas.
Many retailers (especially chains) decide to cut their losses and close the stores, retaurants, or supermarkets due to the higher cost of business in security, shoplifting, vandalism and violence.
It creates a “food desert” where there is no place to purchase food locally.
People all over the country will see some “leaders” in the local black community (though not all) who, backed by politicians at the state and federal level, will stand in front of a podium and talk about the entrenched racism and prejudice present in this country that is responsible for hard-working black citizens who cannot buy a quart of milk, without driving to another part of the city, which adds to their cost of living and is a form of oppression.
They will never show the video like this to people at those rallies, but that is the higher cost of doing business in those areas.
To many in that community (though not all) it is simple racism that causes these things, not vandalism, crime, violence, higher physical security costs, and theft.
“Simeon Career Academy”
Sounds like they chimped out.
I have no doubt it would result in a prosecution of the CC store owner unless the person himself was attacked, or someone else physically attacked.
That would be a pity.
Won't happen, they were not in a gun free zone.
Which explains why they don’t want citizens to own guns.
Its the bolshevik way
