Chicago Activist Tells People Mad About Looting to ‘Get over it! These Buildings Are Insured!’

An activist accused people upset over the recent looting in downtown Chicago of being upset about the wrong thing during a recent press conference.

“People are worried about looting and there are literal lives being taken away? There are people who are dying and y’all are mad about looting Mag Mile? Get over it!” Alycia Moaton said at the event hosted by the group GoodKids MadCity.

She continued:

These buildings are insured. Materials will come back, but we will not come back if they kill us. What do y’all not get about that? Gucci, Apple store, whatever it is, that stuff can be replaced. But we won’t be replaced. We lose our lives every single day for this cause, and y’all are mad about the wrong shit.

"...No insurer is going to cover these businesses after what has happened..."

Then, like the child who murdered his parents and then complains about the sentence passed on an orphan, people like her will complain about "food deserts" where a gallon of milk can't be found because racists refuse to open even convenience stores in her area.

We had a “replacement value” policy when our home was burglarized. But we had so little documentation for items we had purchased up to 40 years ago that we could not prove to the insurance company that almost anything was missing. And if you want “replacement value” you actually have to buy replacement items. We ended up with a very small amount of money for all of our missing stuff.

“Michelle Obama implied blacks are in daily danger of being killed by cops.”

Well, they are...because they have a penchant for getting into gun fights with police.

I would reword that to say "black Leftist economic policy" since Thomas Sowell thinks differently than she does on these matters.

“Obviously a massive inferiority complex.”

The sheer vacuity of thought these activists exhibit is due to their education.

Sloganeering is an art form. The protesters from the past were well educated and well versed in the art of argument albeit in every fallacy known and unknown. I argued with several of them on my campus at the time.

The current crop of irrational critters roaming the pavements are idiots. There is no other word to describe them.

Who knew that stupid movie was a prophecy?

A president Biden would cap this population well. Up is down, and dark is light. For antifa to campaign openly for the warmongering politicians of the past is truly perverse.

“All of the buildings are insured”
This activist has to be an idiot.
Getting new insurance on any of these buildings will be sky high due to rioters and those who choose to repair their stores will see their insurance premiums quadruple.
This proves what idiots the deep state terrorists are.

Less than 10 unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019... in the same year over 7,000 black men were murdered by other blacks.

Maybe this stupid looter/bimbo can't do math...

After the insurance adjusters come up with an area redlining and the insurance rates go up resulting in each item on sale get a drastic price increase the shop shuts down.

Looters who followed the peaceful demonstrations broke windows at the store and stole the majority of Hart’s inventory, including about 10,000 pairs of shoes...

“For every item I’m missing, I have to supply an invoice. That could be real tough,” he said, with some items purchased a year or two ago. “You just gotta try to work through it.”

...The insurance industry has argued that business-interruption coverage wouldn’t pay for virus losses because of a physical-damage requirement, an issue now being fought over by business owners, attorneys and lawmakers. The situation is clearer when there are broken storefronts from looting, said Kim Winter, who leads Lathrop GPM’s insurance recovery and counseling practice group.

“Here we know that there is actual direct physical damage — there’s no question about it, it’s more than just a microscopic virus, so that’s the difference,” she said.

Winter and Hahn Pam, an associate at Lathrop GPM, said policyholders should try to alert their insurers quickly, even though the protests are still going on, and study their coverage closely. While property damage is often covered, the double-whammy of the pandemic and looting could mean business-interruption claims become more complicated down the road, Winter said.

The 1992 riots in Los Angeles were the costliest civil-disorder event in U.S. history, totaling about $775 million in insured damage at the time, according to the insurance institute...

Reminds me of an ex-friend of mine, who was cutting through a bank’s parking lot the morning after a storm, slipped on the ice and broke his ankle. He sued the bank (as if they were somehow expected to keep their parking lot clear 24/7 in case someone wanted to walk through it at dawn) and got $10,000 to settle. When I told him I thought that was somewhat underhanded on his part he said “are you kidding? They’re a bank! They have plenty of money!”.

Of course, he was a leftist.

“...At what point can riots be excluded from coverage...”

I think riots etc are universally excluded from coverage. Ditto for nuclear war.
