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.” more at the link, including video
I’m torn on this issue. On one hand we know looting is bad and it’s a crime, on the other hand, Dems have been rimming black people in crime infested shietholes like Chicago all these years so what fair is fair. Upon second thought, black people deserve a Spartacus moment, turn on your masters and loot away.
Yeah, our culture is ****ed up. No where else would people not only justifying stealing but stealing with STYLE as a political message. Only Basic b****es steal bread to feed their own. This is the gender queer love child of Adam Smith, Marx, and Don King. Only in America...
So they looted a high end fashion store based in Italy Which makes sense Because if you are poor you loot Gucci instead of Old Navy
I guess that's one way of looking at it although I'm thinking the leadership of Gucci might disagree. Regardless, we know one thing for certain...companies that proclaim they are "down for the cause" of BLM aren't getting any slack from the organization. Some might even call that.....virtue signaling fail.
I posted in the other Antifa is Bigfoot thread but a case for Bad whiteys reparations was also giving up your house in Portland..., In the future : BLM robots that might take things a bit too far . . .
This would never happen in Texas because if you step in someone's property and tell them to leave their house, you will get shot. that's any neighborhood, rich , poor, all races. these people really need to be careful because they might be at the wrong house
so there will be dudes rolling off the subway with the wrong sized Gucci shoes and oversized Aeropostale shirts equality
I hope you realize how messed up that is...and rife with issues? First, when did the owners of those stores become the masters? What if any of those owners were black? What else is justified und e t thus reasoning? Or maybe better...where would such justification stop? At what point do the store owners become justified in ...getting proactive in defense of their property? Finally, how does this not hurt the BLM movement when it probably justifies to many why maybe black lives don't really matter as much?
As JFK once said, you steal a little and they throw you in jail but if you steal a lot they make you President.
