Chicago thieves target Neiman Marcus, GameStop amid Rittenhouse protests

Thieves reportedly targeted a Neiman Marcus store on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile and a GameStop on the South Side on Friday night as protesters took the streets to oppose Kyle Rittenhouse’s’ acquittal.

At the Neiman Marcus, a group of 15 men reportedly rushed into the department store and left in three vehicles with their stolen merchandise.

The protests in Chicago remained largely peaceful, according to FOX 32.

"We have to protest tonight to show these right-wingers, to show the system that we won’t back down," demonstrator Shavvir Manjee told the station. "Because the precedent that they’re setting is that these armed vigilantes can show up to our protests, show up to where we’re making demands, and threaten us and intimidate us. And we’re here to say we won’t be intimidated."

“ I notice they’re not going after thrift shops.”

Or bookstores or stores that sell work boots

Does the looting reduce the shootings and killings?

This was what an actual “Peaceful Protest” looks like.

Neiman Marcus probably didn’t make their contribution to Black Lives Matter.

I stopped trying to get straight what they were doing a long time ago. It is a waste of brain cells to attempt it.

I think what it really boils down to is: Black Lives Don’t Matter to the Left except as a political tool.

And the whole premise of Black Lives Matter is based on a fraud, anyway.

I will say this: for a long time, I would scoff at the concept of institutionalized racism, but it does exist with 100% certainty.

It exists as a core principle of the Democrat Party and the Left.
