“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.”

The Nike company doesn’t care about this shop being looted. They will continue their BLM (leftist) mantra from their corporate offices while the franchise owner goes bust. I would move my business and let Chitown become a desert.

Or better yet, every night have a black spokesman like Candace Owens come out and do a segment on BLM like Fauci and Birx would do on covid. BLM is a much bigger problem and much of the public remain blissfully ignorant of the real virus threatening us right now.

-genius level idea!

Most insurance companies do NOT cover damages as the result of “civil unrest”, i.e. riots, or acts of war.
So no, businesses do not necessarily have insurance.

Democrats support criminals...

So THIS is what you support, NBA? NFL? MLB?

Some of these folks sure have a strange way of looking at things like rioting & looting. Guess they can reflect on it further while sitting it out in jail where they belong...for a good long time.

[[They have already said your opposition is the same as a punch. ]]

Do we then get to say that their punch on us is as good as attempted murder? and we get to meet it with superior force?

We are still seeing Trump signs on lawns and on houses- however, We’re in a small very conservative town, and anyone lookin to start crap with Trump supporters knows they will get their butts handed to them- There are a number of BLM signs around our town- sadly city folks have inundated our town, but they are still in the minority here- and those antifa scum with the signs know better than mess with redneck mountain men-

Our town drove out ‘Earth First’ creeps who tried shutting down a trail into a very popular camping and fishing and hunting spot a couple miles into the woods- by a lake- They were met with armed resistance- One fella even fired a warning shot- He did get arrested, but ended up with nothing more than a fine and community service if i remember correctly- He thought it was well worth it- it worked- the earth first ‘bullies’ tucked tail and ran- You don’t mess with people’s livelihood here- people still depend on hunting and fishing to get them through- especially in winter months- many locals are dirt poor-

Sadly though- the demographic is changing- the leftist scum are driving people out in other surrounding towns- We’re kind of a hold out here- but the new generation has been fed so full of leftist crap in schools, I don’t see much hope for it remaining solid conservative- too many parents today just don’t give a hoot about their kid’s educations- Sadly - but for now- we’re still majority republican- solid- hopefully it will remain that way till i go to the great beyond

I would say yes. I have a plan, but can’t talk about it.

I feel sorry for a lot of franchisees. Subway has located inside a WalMart just a few hundred feet from a franchisee here and in the next state over. I’m sure it happens in a lot of places.

One couple had their own Quiznos near me years ago. Wonderful clean store. They never had any business. Why? I think it’s because Quiznos never had proper advertising. I had seen the ads for years. Never knew it was a store until I passed one years later and noticed it. I liked the food.

But the commercials NEVER told you where they were. Probably because they were all franchises.
