Simply outrageous – criminal rioters, BLM and domestic terrorists around the nation are destroying major cities led by inept and corrupt Democrat leaders. When the Chicago rioters and looters attacked a Ronald McDonald House, where the families of sick children are staying, they reached a new low.
On Monday morning, rioters in Chicago destroyed large sections of the city for several hours. Looters ran riot and no place was safe, not even the Ronald McDonald House.
A local TV station reported on the riots and destruction:
Do #TerminallyIllKidsLivesMatter to #BlackLivesMatter , which endorsed the violent Chicago looters as “reparations” crusaders? Guess not… https://t.co/BR5MmJOZgK

The Ronald McDonald House mission is to “to create, find, and support programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families”. The fact that these criminals would attack this place is just plain appalling.
Like the woman in the video said, these people staying at the Ronald McDonald House have enough stress in their lives, they don’t need these criminals threatening their safety as well. What an outrageous mess the Democrats have created and they don’t have a clue on how to stop it. Just outrageous.
* On a personal note:
When my first child was born many years ago, I was in graduate school and had little money or income. Our child was born prematurely and sent to a special hospital where children like my child could be best monitored and taken care of. Near the hospital was a Ronald McDonald House. We were allowed to stay there for free for the week that our baby was in the hospital. All we had to do was pitch in and help with the chores around the house. McDonald’s even brought in food some nights for the guests.
Other families were there as well who had sick children in the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House was a place where parents could stay near the hospital for free. The expenses of having a child in the hospital were difficult for many people, so not having to worry about housing costs near the hospital was a blessing.
Because of this I never subscribed to the anti-McDonald’s movement and have always enjoyed a McDonald’s Big Mac with a chocolate shake. My daughter is a happy, mature, healthy and a beautiful woman today.
My goodness, I had forgotten about that! These people are depraved.
Pretty sure that gal is eating. Looks like she ate a horse.

Why don’t you take the time to look up what the President has done for the children, the homeless, the Veteran, the elderly, the disenfranchised.....OK
Then maybe you wouldn’t make such a snap judgment
OK?
She must’ve eaten an employee.
There's a certain kind of man who prefers a woman like that.
Odd thing is that this certain kind of man often disappears, about five or six months into the relationship, usually in the heart of the winter, and--experts have studied this--very frequently after several phone calls have been made from the home in question, almost always to pizza or hamburger joints.
?????
The looters and rioters should be shot and killed, their corpses stacked like firewood.
I just cant stand their food, but your story is one worth explaining. Thanks.
Looters will NOT be shot.
Lori LiteLoot said it wasn’t related to BLM specifically, it was a riot she will arrest them.
Very sad. Friend of mine was a director of a Ronald McDonald’s house. They do so much to help families of seriously ill families. So we visited often, cooked meals for families and volunteered to help in the office. Truly outrageous.
At the end of the Roman republic there were conservatives and populists. Conservatives held power because of their wealth and class. Populists, also of the elite classes, sought power by courting the masses. Eventually the populists began to support radicals, people who wanted revolutionary change in the system. They did this to gain the upper hand, politically. They did not expect or want revolution, just power. But what they got was escalating political instability and violence until there was an open civil war which ended with populist Julius Caesar as dictator for life. In a way you can say the populists won by supporting the chaos, although not like they had originally envisioned.
It's hard not to think of those times when we see a party use the stupid to foment chaos only to lose control of them. Dangerous times unless we get this stopped.
We need a Pinochet type to straighten things out.
Why would anyone be surprised at this?
Anyone who would burn, loot, and murder with impunity will not stop out of a sense of moral consideration when it comes to sparing sick kid’s families.
They are ruthless, immoral, rabid animals who, unfortunately, are likely beyond redemption and need to be put down like all rabid animals.
God instituted the death penalty for various crimes not as a means of revenge and retribution as much as to protect society. One person can ruin an untold number of lives with their uncontrolled wanton behavior. It cannot be tolerated for a just and safe society to exist.
so they think.
Until the push back comes, which it is.
People are not going to put up with this forever.
I don't see how.
The story behind the story: lots of people hate the Philadelphia Eagles. They are my team so I deal with it. But the Ronald McDonald House only exists because of the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 1969 players kid got leukemia and the owner of the team wanted to help sick kids so he created a charity called Eagles Fly for Leukemia (which still exists) which donated $1M to the local children's hospital in Philly. He then gave the team General Manager the job of getting more money for the charity so he reached out to McDonalds to see if there was any sort of promotion they could help with to raise more. Specifically, Shamrock Shakes were a new thing coming out that year so he asked if McDonald's would be willing to donate a quarter from the sale of each to go to the kids. Eagles would match. McDonald's said 'how about instead of just a quarter per shake we set aside all the proceeds from shamrock shakes and use them to set up a house where the sick kids and their families can stay while they go through treatments.' And so was born the Ronald McDonald House. Eventually it expanded nationwide.
See, the Eagles aren't all bad :-)
Shame on the news media!
Many of those MURDERED since Saint Floyd have been innocent children by stray bullets and neglect. The left gives zero fvcks.
“Looters will NOT be shot.”
A local good ‘ol boy shot a looter between the eyeballs with his magnum when the looter tried to extract reparations from guests at the local Waffle House. The sheriff complimented the shooter on his good marksmanship.
SWTH are you talking about???
