Looters Target Chicago Charity for Sick Children, Knew 'There Would Be No Consequences'

As looters stormed the Magnificent Mile in downtown Chicago early Monday morning, their superficial cries for racial justice were drowned out by the sound of shattering glass in the upscale shopping district popular with tourists and residents.

Rioters and criminals amassed in the Streeterville neighborhood of downtown, ostensibly to protest the Chicago Police shooting of an armed suspect on Sunday. But instead of calling for peace, they stormed retailers and left with armloads of merchandise, even looting some stores that had been hit earlier in the summer.

The owner of Wedding Bands & Company jewelry store on N. Wabash, Koorosh Daneshgar said his store had been looted just three months earlier. Security footage showed that more than 50 people had entered his store overnight to destroy showcases, smash windows, and wreck the store computers. Fortunately, the jewelry was locked in a safe.

Targeting a charity for sick children is the lowest of the low.  :mad: :argh:

On Tuesday, an organizer for the Chicago chapter of Black Lives Matter, an avowed Marxist organization bent on tearing down the American system, said that the looting was justified because destroyed businesses could simply turn to their insurance policies for repair. The people who robbed them, however, were simply claiming property that they were owed; they were receiving their justified "reparations" for the American sin of slavery.

"I don’t care if somebody decides to loot a Gucci’s or a Macy’s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats," organizer Ariel Atkins said during a rally at the South Loop police precinct. "That makes sure that that person has clothes ... That’s a reparation. Anything they want to take, take it because these businesses have insurance."

Her justification for destroying businesses and laying waste to the city, however ridiculous, still didn't explain the reason that rioters targeted a Ronald McDonald House. The children's charity, located near the Lurie Children's Hospital in Streeterville, offers families and sick kids a place to stay while receiving lengthy treatments at local hospitals. Oftentimes, the families seeking support from the Ronald McDonald Houses across the country have children being treated for cancer and other distressing, often terminal illnesses.

On Monday, looters smashed the windows of the Ronald McDonald House on E. Grand Avenue for no apparent purpose other than to disrupt families of children fighting for their lives inside. After the melee calmed down in the morning hours, several windows of the charity were smashed and the door was boarded up. Residents remained on lockdown for much of the late night and early morning.
