Maybe if they loot a china shop, they can be made to be busy putting plates in their lips.

Chicago Tribune:

“Looters hit Mag Mile, smashing windows and clashing with Chicago police”

Hundreds of people swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores and clashing with police for hours.

People darted in and out of the stores along Michigan Avenue carrying shopping bags full of merchandise. Cars dropped off more people as the crowd grew. At least one U-Haul van was seen pulling up.

Police made several arrests and recovered at least one gun, officials said. One woman with shopping bags in her hands fell on the sidewalk as an officer was chasing her. Another woman appeared to have been pepper-sprayed. A rock was thrown at a squad car.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

The looting began shortly after midnight and seemed to be centered in Streeterville and North Michigan Avenue. By 3 a.m. police appeared to be getting things under control.

Illinois state police closed off the Ohio Street ramps coming into downtown.

Well, at least it’s not a few pro-life folks using violent chalk on a sidewalk.

Well I assume Chicago PD is stretched too thin to guard everything so they just broke in. Just another building if no one answers the alarms.

Black Lives Matter engaged in massive widespread looting in Chicago on Sunday evening, once again.

A caravan of vehicles was carrying dozens of looters from store to store, according to reports.

Facebook pulled down livestreams of the looting after shots were heard being fired near a Louis Vuitton store that was being raided.

This is pillaging and sacking.. this is what conquering armies do after they win.
This is what they do when they have no resistance.

They tried this in Georgetown on Saturday too.

Just another isolated incident, of course. I mean, it would be crazy to say that we’ve got armed Marxists engaging in insurrection throughout the country.

Hopefully it will shock them into never voting again for a Demonrat.
