Black Lives Matter: Looting in Chicago is reparations

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/black-lives-matter-holds-rally-supporting-individuals-arrested-in-chicago-looting-monday/2320365/

Members of Black Lives Matter held a solidarity rally on Monday night with the more than 100 individuals who were arrested after a night of looting and unrest in Chicago. The rally was held at the South Loop police station where organizers say those individuals are currently being held in custody.

“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,” Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, said. “That makes sure that person has clothes.”

Black Lives Matter Chicago organized the rally after overnight unrest throughout the city, with police saying that more than 100 individuals were taken into custody for a variety of offenses, including looting.

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

I can't see a worse statement as if BLM wants to ostracize itself from the GREAT majority of americans and have NO support

Looting a Nike store "makes sure that person eats?" Eats what? Shoes?
If you want to eat, go loot a "Whole Foods" store.

12. Disagree.

The reparations thing is a real hot bed touch stone for a lot of voters. If we do reparations it's via a legal way.
Strange list of posts in your quiver H. I just looked at all of them. Each has a little bit of a....I dunno, nagging tinge to them. And posting them on a Democratic Board just seems, hmmm...what's the word...unnecessary (?).
Don't take my word for it, see for yourselves.
Strange on a certain level. Counter-productive comes to mind.
jmho. jmho. But, had to throw that out there.

17. I'm just pointing out what struck me.

Everyone can come to their own conclusion obviously. Just wish things like this wouldn't show up here. How is this verified?
Quite a coincidence this all happens when trum* wants to put troops in Chicago.

19. Ariel Atkins just made the case for Trump, Faux News,

and talk radio that BLM isn’t about police brutality or racial justice and that it isn’t peaceful.

TV ads are already playing that associate Biden with rioting and looting, now they can use actual quotes by a BLM leader.

Atkins and Chicago BLM are trump-level stupid on so many levels. They should be denounced by other BLM groups.

True to form, many over there, when faced with an unpleasant story, prefer to ignore it and attack the poster.  Malaise said she was just going to ignore the post, she thinks it's stirring mischief.

1. This is a BLM LEADER, not a rando looter whose affiliation with BLM is open to question. To borrow from a MSM-shill-network, THIS is BLM!

2. In 2020 Gucci, Macy's, Nike, et al have insurance, maybe. In 2021 and beyond, some will bail out of that neighborhood, and others may scale back their presence.

3. Either way, nice jobs you had there, Chicagoans. Too bad you got laid off because your store had to close to clean up ... and may never re-open.

4. Hey Nike! Remember how you thought those ridiculous over-priced deals with Kaepernick would buy you Race-Baiter Peace? Think again! BTW, those Hoka One One Clifton 5s I bought two years ago? Still some of the most comfortable shoes I own, and I wear them daily.

I don't know why they're surprised.  This is who BLM was at the beginning and who they will remain.  They were thugs and looters at the outset and nothing has changed.  The left has always given them cover by suggesting 'outside influence' or agents provocateur, or RUSSIANS!!!

When you keep telling yourself a lie you will never make the changes that are needed because you've hidden the problem so well you can no longer find the solution.

Quite soon I am sure.  With Kamala the Kunt shown verbally and visually supporting the movement. BLM has become an albatross around the neck of the dem party.

They're just mad because this racist idiot openly revealed BLM's true motivations and proved that we are right with everything we've been saying about the riots.

What good will?
While people sympathized over Floyd's death and want to see justice done in this case (Which it will be), the public has openly rejected the lawlessness and violence the rioters have committed while the crooked Dem politicians openly cheer them on. They've realized that all this has done FAR more harm than good and it needs to be stopped before even more violence and destruction occurs.
