Black Lives Matter holds rally in Chicago to support those arrested after looting, unrest (That is reparations, businesses have insurance)
Fox News ^ | August 10 2020 | David Aaro

“That is reparations,” a BLM organizer said. “Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance"

Black Lives Matter members in Chicago held a rally on Monday to support the more than 100 arrested last night following widespread looting and rioting that caused at least $60 million in property damage and saw 13 police officers injured, according to a report.

The rally was organized by Black Lives Matter Chicago and was held at a police station in the South Loop where organizers say individuals are currently being held in custody. At least one organizer called the looting tantamount to "reparations."

“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats,” said Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, according to NBC Chicago. “That makes sure that person has clothes.”

Ariel, working is what should make sure a person eats and has clothes.

For you, I am thinking a 20 year gig making small rocks out of boulders would be educational.

Take the video of her speech, and send it to every liberal you know.

This is the new face of the Democrat party. Let them see.

The logic of this argument may also be used as justification for home invasion robbery. It’s ok to break into a person’s home and steal stuff. homeowners have insurance, etc. apparently, we live in interesting times...

Absolutely stunning, and ignorant- they might as well say “don’t care if they rape people because that ensures that they have sex that they need-” or “don’t care if they beat someone unconscious, because that ensures that that person won’t argue with them”

[[Ariel, working is what should make sure a person eats and has clothes. ]]

Eggzactly

It is absolutely stunning that they are justifying criminal activity like that- By their logic, liberal logic- people can break into any liberals homes, and take whatever they want- cuz ‘that ensures someone gets to have clothes, TVs, Computers, Cash etc”

If a person needs clothes that damn bad, then go to a thrift store or garage sale.

You know in the Bible, it says “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Do you suppose this is one of those moments? 😁

Well, there certainly is nothing like the so-called logic of a BLM organizer. Sounds like something Robert Mugabe would have said.
