Looting in Chicago now.
Per local NBC affiliate in Chicago looting still ongoing. Including shots fired. Police still don’t have a handle on it. Downtown shut down.
If we did away with tax deductiblilty for shrinkage losses, bet businesses would be far more likely to refuse to put up with this crap...
“Yeah - we're transporting a prisoner to 6th and he needs medical assistance. We need an ambulance to meet us there.”
“Roger - you need an ambulance. No resources available at this time. We'll let you know if anything becomes available.”
Be a shame if he bled out before an ambulance can get there.
CHICAGO (CBS) Dozens of stores, banks and other businesses were broken into across downtown Chicago overnight.
“Illinois state police closed off the Ohio Street ramps coming into downtown” psssst the “rowdy teens” preferred method of transport to hunting grounds is the Red Line (mass transit) dropping the yoots off in the middle of State Street a short hop to Michigan Ave -
Maybe his folks can sue the looters?
Some more from the scanner:
“Any status on bridges open to get down there?” (The cops just started a new shift).
“This is 410 - Lasalle Street Bridge is closed.” (I’m guessing it will be a holiday for most Chicago workers today? Hmm - Maybe everyday on the second Monday of August will be XXX YYYYY holiday named after the armed person shot by the police in Chicago that seems to be the root of this looting.
Ope - except for the police. Some guy just came over the scanner “Nobody gets the day off, nobody clocks out, report to 100.”
.....
“This is 1520 - Apple store at 1st and Wabash has looters, but it was picked clean earlier...”
..................
Alderman on NBC affiliate won’t blame cops for the unrest, but he does blame WuFlu. The ‘Rona made ‘em do it!
Alderman won’t call for the National Guard when asked.
Payback for 4 executive orders?
Watched the video and could not pick out any white folks, only _lacks except for one white working girl.
while others try to crash into the nearby Niketown store during riots on August 10, 2020
Instead, it’s got f’ing Beetlejuice for Mayor.
Black Looters Matter.
It’s not just Groot. The city council, local prosecutors and judges, PD brass are all enabling this.
That’s RICO behavior. 10 years in federal prison sounds about right.
Where are these peoples dignity? MLK would stand up and speak about the need to change and everyone listened. He earned dignity and respect with his peace protests which brought about change. These looters are just tools of the commies and would soon be in slavery again if the commies get in power.
I would love to see a figure on just how much of the losses will be tax deductible.
Not only will the shrink be passed along in higher costs to consumers, but taxpayers will have to make up for tax revenue lost to the deductions.
BTW, the Best Buy hit in May was totally trashed this time.
But no big deal, eh, Best Buy? It’s not like you’ll have to eat the costs.
