Chicago Black Lives Matter Leader Calls Looting ‘Reparations,’ Encourages Looters to Continue (VIDEO)

A Black Lives Matter leader in Chicago has referred to looting as “reparations” and urged the looters to continue because the businesses “have insurance.”

Ariel Atkins, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Chicago, made the ridiculous comments on camera.

Atkins urged people to take “anything they want to take.”

“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci… or a Macy’s… or a Nike… because that makes sure that that person eats. That makes sure that person has clothes,” Atkins said. “That’s reparations. Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance. They’re gonna get their money back.”

The Nationalist Review previously reported that the official chapter of Black Lives Matter in Chicago had came out in favor of the looting that took place in the city. In a press release, the black supremacist organization said that “when protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy, that is not ‘our’ city and has never been meant for us” the mayor “has not provided black communities any alternative for demanding justice”

I can guarantee that all these chain stores like Gucci, Macy’s, Nike, Best Buy sent their tribute money to BLM.

Ariel Atkins, good for you!

You just gave federal prosecutors all the evidence they need to indict you on conspiracy to commit larceny across state lines, as well as inciting riot across state lines.

There is a nice warm solitary confinement cell awaiting this criminal.

Its time for the feds to swing into action. ( Not holding my breath.)

Hopefully somebody that disagrees with "Ariel Atkins" shoots he or she dead in the act.

None of this came up during the 8 years of soetoro's regime, especially when the demonrats held Congress, too.

That would have been the time to "balance the scales", wouldn't it?

So it would seem that since she is BLM leader and she is telling the people to go out and take anything they want because the stores have insurance the insurance companies could recover their losses from BLM.

Shop owners need to move out of the democrat hellhole. Then let downtown Chicago fill up with liquor stores, payday loan shops, and lawyers offering to help get disability..

Okay, then. No need for Democrats to legislate reparations. It’s been taken care of. Thanks, Chicago!
