Looting is Reparations-BLM organizer claims anything they wanted to take they can-businesses insured

Black Lives Matter Chicago said early Monday's looting of stores was a form of 'reparations' as the group held a protest Monday night in support of the more than 100 people arrested after an evening of violence. Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, called the looting 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,' Atkins said. 'That makes sure that person has clothes. 'Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.'

Downtown Chicago was otherwise quiet after authorities cut off access, with drawbridges leading into the city pulled up and freeway exits blocked after riots sparked by a false rumor of a child shot by police. At least 13 police officers were injured as the violence claimed an estimated $65 million in property damage.

I think that we are at the point where lethal force needs to be used to wipe this vermin out of our society.

i don’t care why they are looting, they should be shot. Rioting and looting undermines society as a whole. It terrorizes the business owners, who may decide to just close up shop and stop working as a business owner. By creating this sort of instability in society you, as a rioter, looter, terrorist, have NO VALUE to society and should be put down like a rabid animal. Rabid animals have no ability to reason. They can’t be persuaded to another course. They have no value and need to be destroyed, just like these rioters, looters, and terrorists.

Human beings can rationalize anything. I used to know a guy that would steal one food item every time he went grocery shopping because he said that cost of shoplifting was baked in to the price of everything else, so that was how he evened it out.

Looters sell the clothes they loot to buy food for their starving children.

I think that highlights the illogic of Leftist economics. They see it as a zero-sum game. There is basically a pile of “wealth” or a pile of “loot” if you like. To them, the white people took more than their share of the wealth. So now the black people should rise up and take their fair share of the wealth. It’s all about the taking. Or, for the Marxists, the redistribution of that wealth.

But the Left neve spends time thinking about how wealth is created, the role of investment and industry and risk taking. If you want real wealth you have to earn that wealth. But for them, you just loot the looters and it’s all good.

Ouch. Truth hurts doesn’t it? But it doesn’t change the fact, it’s true. America is in big trouble.

She also failed to mention the waiting cars on the streets that the looters threw the clothes and items stolen from the stores. They moved on down the street, store after store. News had video of it all.Said it was well organized plan.

Wonder if he’d feel the same if his boss kept back an hour of his pay each week for the same reason?

When you “take” reparations of your own choosing, for a perceived past wrong, that is considered an act of war.

When you realize these communists are saying that they can go in and steal the farmers food and destroy his farming equipment that he invested his time and effort and sweat to grow, because he has insurance and they supposedly need food

When you realize these communists are saying that they can go in to the tailors shop and steal the clothes he made and trash his machinery and textiles that he invested his time and effort and sweat to make because he has insurance and they supposedly need to be clothed (although they’re perfectly clothed while looting)

When you realize these communists are saying that they care about the people while they destroy the lives of hard working Americans who’ve sweated and put forth effort to give back to the community...

This is lawlessness and anarchy and a very real attempt to overthrow the nation.

It’s time to take up arms and put the country right. Figuratively and literally)

I guarantee no small business in any large urban area will be able to afford riot insurance again. Such damages will be specifically excluded from coverage and to get such coverage will require a premium none can afford. These business are not coming back.

********This is a serious situation. People are concerned about their safety. Officers are concerned about their safety. So don’t bait us.********

So why don’t you treat it as a serious problem, instead of letting them off the hook so they know they will not face consequences, and will go out and do it again...and again...and again...

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Keep it up, mayor sh!t for brains, and watch those businesses find greener pastures.

So can we kill looters if they have life insurance?

And one of my 5.56 to the head is a form of 'kissing'. Words have meaning. Most negroes can barely speak let alone know the meaning of words. Maybe we should give them a break. They just can't help it. (sarcasm)

Do they expect us to believe that they steal overpriced handbags and sneakers because they’re mad about racist cops?
