Riding in trucks and U-Hauls, vandals came to downtown Chicago on Sunday. They jammed streets around the Magnificent Mile, home of the citys most important shopping district. They came prepared with tools like crowbars to pry open gates and take all the merchandise that they could pack. It was a strike directed at the heart of the city.
While the vandals were organized, the police were not. Earlier in the day, a policeman had returned fire and wounded a suspect. False rumors spread that the suspect was an unarmed juvenile. Crowds gathered; social media lit up with menace. But the police did not deploy in force until looters flooded into places with the most valuable goods.
The sacking of Chicagos North Side was more than a tactical failure. For months, key officialsthe states attorney responsible for prosecution, the mayor, and the governorhave failed to condemn criminals sufficiently or act with necessary force against such violence. They have contributed to a culture of impunity that tolerates mobs and hoodlums.

power comes from the people
if govt isnt there it reverts back to us
TOO LATE!
“Chicago was sick even before the looting and riots of 2020, but things could get worse still. The city could become another Detroit.”
Pretty short “organizing” meeting on the South Side:
10 thugs in the neighborhood chugging 40s of Olde English 800:
Thug 1: We need to go into downtown and just break into everything. Whos gonna stop us?
Thugs 2-10 (after thinking for a few minutes): NO ONE!
Thug 1: Who gonna procesute us?
Thugs 2-10 (after thinking for a few minutes): NO ONE!
(all thugs run to their cars and caravan to MM).
John McGinnis, Esq., the author of this great article. really knows what he’s written about, FTA:
“John O. McGinnis is a contributing editor of City Journal and the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University.”
Northwestern is a very much near-Ivy League university located in Evanston, IL, a near north suburb that directly borders Chicago.
Picture of actors onstage....
What if, under that whiteface makeup, they are all black people?
The anarchist rioters have been shown the path of least resistance and they have been taking it.
Kabuki Lives Matter!!
But where is the part "It started out as a peaceful demonstration but somehow began to turn into a little bit somewhat less peaceful later?"
Chicago is dead. No hope. Voters are so brainwashed they are clueless and unable to fathom the death blows the city received this year. The Gov and Mayor have no idea that their lack of leadership has started a death spiral that cannot be contained. Only a Trump type of leader can save Illinois and Chicago. What businesses are going to invest their assets into Illinois/Chicago?
KISS are broadening their act, I see...
Absolutely correct ,sir. And those businesses still here will try to find a way out. A good place to get into a Van lines company.
With a Mayor that looks like and acts like one of the “Walking Dead”, Chicago will soon become the city of the Walking Dead.
I just cant feel sorry. No sympathy. They voted for it.
At this point I just don’t give a RAT’s ass anymore. These RAT-run schittvilles throughout this country are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the stupid asses in the unions, the bought-off corporate board rooms, the criminal city halls, and the utterly asinine wokester neighborhoods that make up these places. I’ll just keep my firearms at the ready and my ammo close at hand for the moment these monsters try to descend on my homestead. It’s way past time to lance this festering boil.
This is an intractable problem. There is no solution. The scum white liberals and ghetto blacks voted in screwball Democrats, causing normal, responsible people to pack up and leave. The concentration of gibs-me-dats increases year after year. There can be no solution at the ballot box. Chicago has fallen into an irreversable downward spiral.

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. NO SYMPATHY.
