“Hundreds of people swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores,” reports the Chicago Tribune.
There was also gunfire and violence against police officers. As of this writing, downtown Chicago is all but closed to those trying to get to work on a Monday morning.

Hitting Chicago’s Magnificent Mile is no accident. It is the jewel of Downtown Chicago, one of the most famous shopping districts in the world. If retailers lose faith the police can protect them from criminal marauders and flee the area, it will serve as more than just a symbolic victory for the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

I’m confused because whereas I know that white people are inherently evil the people who were involved in this looting are the best citizens of the United States of America yet their behavior does not seem worthy of the incredible specimens we know they all are.
Another fine city down the tubes.

Perhaps you don”r really realize it, but you just hit the nail on the head! Congrats are in order.
They just angry because y’all ran away when fine upstanding citizens like Brock and Big Mike moved in next door. That’s what Mooch has been preaching about...white flight ruinin’ the city.
One would expect it’s already underway in Martha’s Vineyard, too, once the obama’s closed on their $11 million beach house.
That part of Chicago is absolutely GORGEOUS in the summer, spring and fall!! FLOWER and Tree Lined streets with the Finest stores.....it was wonderful to live there!
Pictures would add to this posting
I thought Riots and Looting were forbidden words now, can’t we call it something warm and fuzzy like:
Mostly peaceful protesters engaged in some undocumented patronizing to do some unauthorized shopping in local stores last night.
I made the comment years ago that even though I didn’t agree with Mayor Daley on many issues, that Chicago would slowly go down the drain without him. Yes, there were many problem but tourism and conventions weren’t lacking. Now? Who wants to go there or most major cities for that matter.
They’re gonna get blown out by the approaching storm.
“Mostly peaceful” IOW, violent.
yup, MPP shoppers presenting their 100% discount coupons through broken glass redemption windows.
Informal wealth redistribution?
Impromptu reparations?
Man Accused Of Raping 3-Year-Old At McDonalds Previously Arrested At Texas/Mexico Border

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says a man who prosecutors allege sexually assaulted a 3-year-old girl in the stall of a McDonald’s restroom located in Chicago’s North River community 600 North Clark street should have been turned over to the agency last year.
Christopher Puente, 34, is charged with one count of predatory criminal sexual assault. Cook County prosecutors said he confessed to detectives that he’d placed the child on his lap while he was in a restroom stall, pulled off her pants, and covered her mouth when she started calling out “daddy daddy.”
The father had taken his two children to the restroom, taking his son into a stall while his daughter waited just outside in the restroom. According to prosecutors. Puente, who was in the next stall, lured the girl into his stall while her dad was preoccupied, pulled her into his lap, pulled down her pants and underwear, and sexually assaulted her.
In June 2019, ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Chicago Police Department on Puente, who has several felony convictions and a prior removal, after he was arrested for theft.
“How many more victims must there be before lawmakers realize that sanctuary policies do not protect the innocent?” asked Robert Guadian, field office director of Chicago Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). “Puente should have been in ICE custody last year and removed to his home country. Instead, irresponsible lawmaking allowed him to walk free and prey on our most vulnerable.”
When Obama was senator he and Bill (step on the American flag) Ayers had control of the distribution of funds from the Annenberg foundation which they passed millions on to Illinois and Chicago schools pushing the what soon would be the BLM agenda. Stanley Kurtz tried to expose those radical left study programs over a program held by WGN radio and was threatened by protesters to do so
COULD THIS BE WHY CHICAGOANS ARE SEEING RATS ?
The city of Chicago is composed of 50 wards which average out to around 72 precincts of about 350 or more voters in each precinct. Many are former villages incorporated into the city as the city grew. . A Chicago Alderman is in effect a mini mayor. They have input into who gets city services and now it’s how those services are being administered seem to be running into who’s ward is it ?.
What’s not being looked at is how Chicago wards have been redistricted. Chicago has had neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanic”residential sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black candidates.Which apparently is the result of the turnover in the Freddie and Fanny mortgage collapse. As stable integrated areas changed into being unstable because of constant dwelling turnover.had the effect of breaking up a contiguous geographic continuity and community identity. Because the wards affected which are really like small towns have had sections broken up into areas where if a problem arises in a given section of street which has one way traffic only. It may be two way a block down because it’s in a different ward. The same applies to all other city services including zoning where serving socialist ideologic political purposes single dwelling units are removed and replaced by multiple high rise apartments complcating city services such as sanitation where garbage collection routes are organized by ward boundaries. Which disrupts living style where that is permitted to happen.
50 year Alderman Burke who is under federal charges for corruption ward is an example. Burke’s ward ,14th, needed remapping . The 14th was originally known as “Back of The Yards” Once the home of the famous Chicago Stock Yards where most food processors along with employee demographics have since relocated. It was a compact area almost 15 plus city blocks square area composed mostly of single and 2 story frame and brick family dwellings mixed with scattered brick apartment units. Because of the construction, insurance rates varied and became known as the condemned as “redlining”. When the democrats also warily supported by the Bush 2 administration came up with the no 20% down mortgage removed. Areas in the ward dramatically changed in demographics. Many of those dwellings sold under those conditions went into disrepair or default.
Originally his ward headquarters and palace was on 51st street just west of Damen Avenue. Today’s palace is just off of Pulaski Road near the Madam Curie high school just off of Archer Avenue miles away.
His ward now consists of areas carved from parts of the 12th (known as Mc Kinley Park and Brighton Park) and parts of the 23rd (known as Archer Heights Garfield Ridge and Clearing) wards Miles from the original 14th That In a former section of the 23rd ward now the 14th ward in the Midway airport area, 2 patrons in a local bar along Archer avenue were heard complaining about rats in their garbage. They felt it was because of the delay in garbage collection. Also heard the same beef about street snow removal. It has also played hell on zoning and because of the disruption of jurisdictions with the administration of city services such as streets and sanitation which the alderman (salary $120.000 plus allocations on local projects) do oversee and have input over.
By.employing this concept of remapping are residents are being denied the representation they should have ?
What the in name only Democratic Party has been doing in gerrymandering remapping has been singling out areas of various districts where it is dominated by a minority and create a single district out of it which not only disrupts those districts affected of getting civic services needs but pits one group against the other. An example of this is in what Chicago did here;
CHICAGO MIDWAY AIRPORT AREA HISTORY
HOW IDENTITY POLITICS WARD RE MAPPING DESTROYED THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN
That finger of Chicago’s border on its south side extending from 51st to 65th streets 4 miles further beyond Cicero Avenue to Harlem Avenue has a very interesting history. Post WWII during the 1950’s and 60’s the area mushroomed into dozens of single dwelling subdivions where thousands of of five and more room single 1 family units were built. After a struggle by residents including this writer the area managed to get the area remapped into one ward (23rd) and only one alderman needed to respond to their needs. Today the area has four alderman including the 12th, 13th, and 14th who’s wards are spread miles apart and the reason is political because the area was conservative The same rules apply to state and congressional districts

It will get worse...MAGNIFICENT MILE is 1/3 Chicago tax base.....No mile,no tourists,no money in the kitty......
As reported by the Marxist State Media Pimps and Whores, the looting, shooting, burning, etc. was mostly peaceful.
Eloquent. You know Chicago well. Southsider (until 1954) here.
“unauthorized shopping”is too negative.How about “After hours special shopping occasioned by open windows”?
