Chicago Devolves Into Savage Hellscape As Mostly Peaceful Looters Destroy the City's Businesses

100 Mostly Peaceful Looters were arrested.

A few Mostly Peaceful Gunmen shot people.

Hundreds of looters descended on downtown Chicago early Monday following a police shooting on the city's South Side, with vandals smashing the windows of dozens of businesses and making off with merchandise, cash machines and anything else they could carry, police said.
When police shot a man after he opened fire on officers Sunday afternoon, the incident apparently prompted a social media post hours later urging looters to converge on the business district, Police Superintendent David Brown told a news conference.
Some 400 additional officers were dispatched to the area after the department spotted the post. Over the next several hours, police made more than 100 arrests and 13 officers were injured, including one who was struck in the head with a bottle, Brown said.
Brown dismissed any suggestion that the chaos was part of an organized protest of the shooting, instead calling it "pure criminality" that included occupants of a vehicle opening fire on police who were arresting a man they spotted carrying a cash register.

What makes this opportunistic mayhem any different from the other opportunistic mayhem we've seen for an entire season now?

Is this admission -- that these are merely savage criminals, not "protesters," whether mostly peaceful or otherwise -- prompted only because the truth cannot be hidden in this particular case, or is this a sign that looters and rioters will no longer be given the "mostly peaceful protester" cover?

Probably the former, I think. They're only admitting these were simple criminals because the cover story of "protesters" would not hold here.

No officers were wounded by gunfire, but a security guard and a civilian were hospitalized in critical condition after being shot, and five guns were recovered, he said.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot agreed that the melee had nothing to do with a protest. "This was straight-up felony criminal conduct," she said. "This was an assault on our city."

Oh look, Gizmo from Gremlins woke up for once.

I think it was the gun crime that did it. The left doesn't like guns. Looting, rioting, and vicious attacks with hand-held weapons they're absolutely fine with.

But guns? That's some KKK shit right there.

Even this leftwing firebrand -- who you might remember offered such a strong defense of Jeremiah Wright that even Obama criticized him -- admits this was "orchestrated:"

"This was obviously very orchestrated," the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a prominent Roman Catholic priest and activist on the city's South Side, told Chicago television station WBBM.

Doc Zero/John Hayward ties this criminal Thunderdome around Joe Biden's neck, and writes that this is the Final Form of Grievance Ideology::

Look at Chicago and understand this is every city, every town, under Democrat rule. If you're a working middle-class American, you're fighting for your life in the 2020 election, and voting Democrat is suicide. Abolish the Police is the only issue and they're on the wrong side.
Don't let Joe Biden's handlers convince you he's some kind of "moderate" who just wants "reforms." The Democrat Party is 100% run by extremists now. They are VERY insistent that when they say Abolish the Police, they mean exactly that.
The core ideology of the radicalized Democrat party requires dissolving the rule of law. This is baked into everything they say, every policy they push. They think impartially enforced law is racist, sexist, transphobic, etc. "Justice" is the antonym of "law" to them.
That's why Dems shriek like banshees against the presumption of innocence, a core concept in the traditional American understanding of law and justice. Their ideology is all about presumed GUILT. Every policy is based on politicized notions of identity and grievance.
Everything from Democrat speech codes to economic policy is based on variables of grievance and entitlement, not absolute principles that apply equally to everyone. What you're allowed to say and do, what you're allowed to own, depends on your class, race, and politics.
This radicalized concept of law as a political instrument is cooked into every single policy on the Left. Some people just have more "rights" than others. No rights are inalienable. Everything, right down to the words you're permitted to use, is calculated based on your identity.
These riot-prone blue cities are just the most vulgar example of what will happen everywhere in America if Democrats take power. It's ALREADY happening everywhere because they have so much power over media, and especially over education.
Once you throw out the rule of law, the presumption of innocence, and inalienable rights, you're lucky if the worst thing that happens is local officials deciding your family and property don't deserve police protection from looters, or the privilege of defending yourself.
That's the key word right there: PRIVILEGE. The Left's obsession with that word is very illuminating. They think everything is a "privilege," nothing is an inalienable right. Privileges can be revoked. The term conveys a sense of unfairness that needs redressing.
Understand that the radicalized Democrat Party thinks even the basic duties of government, like protecting lives and property rights, are actually "privileges." They hate police because they see them as racist mall cops enforcing the unfair privileges of the middle class.
The Democrats are hell-bent on taking those "privileges" away: your money, property, liberty, and security. You're not even allowed to refuse to participate in their ideological crusades. They loathe middle class "privilege," which they rhetorically disguise as "white privilege."
If you want to keep a shred of the traditional, REAL American ideals of equality, opportunity, security, and lawfulness, vote against Democrats in November like your life depended on it. They will sacrifice every shred of law on their altar of "justice" unless you stop them. /end

Do remember, Trump pretty much laughed in Minneapolis' face when they asked for half a billion dollars for damages caused by the riots.

And the talks over the relief bill fell apart in part because Trump refused to allow for any funds for blue city relief from rioting.

Because you can't say what ought to be said.

If you say what ought to be said, people will claim you are worse than those whom what ought to be said is about, even though that which ought to be said is clearly indicated but the actions of those that what ought to be said is about.

So we will just pretend that what ought to be said doesn't need to be said and pretend it's something else that can be said.

Otherwise, what ought to be said will be used as justification for those that what ought to be said is about to continue acting in a way that ought to be said.

I suspect that the fake "rumor" was INTENTIONALLY spread by people who wanted to loot; they knew that all they had to do was hurl a false accusation at police and the black neighborhoods would erupt again and provide perfect cover for the planned looting.

80 >>Mayor Lori Lightfoot agreed that the melee had nothing to do with a protest. "This was straight-up felony criminal conduct," she said. "This was an assault on our city."

I'm sure DA Kim Foxx will get right on it!!
She's already alienated the city's cops with her handling of the Jussie Smollet hoax crime, and being a Soros acolyte, she's likely going to let most/all of these criminal skate.

81 How will places like Chcago, Portland, Seattle and NYC turn things back around?

***

The plan is to cause so much pain that people vote for Biden, and then Biden will loot the red states to pay to fix the blue cities.

Trump should be very public that he will never approve a budget that approves funds for rebuilding cities damaged by Antifa/BLM

Hell, he should specifically invite these blue state mayors and make them watch the video of the Antifa smack down that was linked here yesterday.

93 And NJ gauleiter Murphy whining about lack of federal $$$ to help his poor, hard-hit state.

The problem with this whole accountability thing is that the circuit is broken, in two places. First, of course, there is no press (and in this particular instance, the federal level has been part of the problem re misinformation and bad strategy, i.e. WH task force and CDC). Second, there appear to not be enough intelligent citizens in places like NJ to do any of their own thinking, and figure things out - so they won't hold their own disastrously incompetent "leaders" accountable.

So we'll probably see a few "surprise" House seat flips, and smaller margins for whichever house plant or piece of garden furniture the Dems run against Trump (in the end). At most.

But one thing's certain: the GOP this cycle will have a very clear position, program, and plan for the future ..... which amounts to "we're not THOSE guys".

And that plan will work. Over 50% of America are in the same boat as a battered woman who just wants the beatings to stop.

Trump is not going to win. As someone said the other day, 2016 was a surprise. The fix was in and as soon as Scankles took the oath of office, Trump was going to be jailed.

This time, it's different. They know he's out there. The stealing is in place or being prepared. The media battlespace is prepared and unpleasant stories are being broomed - the "the horrible media is unfair to poor Joe and gives lying Trump a pass" are already being rolled out.

Governors of blue and red states are clamping down even harder on public gatherings and mandating the Mask of Cain while pushing mail-in voting and using the Kung Flu as an excuse for forbidding Trump to hold any rallies.

I won't even mention that fat pantload Barr and his flapping mouth.

People are sick of this shit. But too many of them blame Trump. Biden is a reminder of the Obama days when all was happy, a well-spoken man was in the White House and the world loved us.

159 A couple weeks old but an interesting nugget from this article:

Revolver Exclusive: DOJ Deliberately Resists Sending in FBI Agents, Pressing Charges as Portland Burns
https://t.co/mrTqhVTU0c?amp=1

"...One White House source and one DOJ source have independently confirmed that the DOJ is deliberately resisting putting an active FBI presence in riot torn Portland and Seattle.

While AG Barr is generally good and much of his testimony was strong, internal resistance at the DOJ threatens the entire mission to restore law and order to Portland and Seattle...

...Quite simply, no matter how many heroic Border Patrol and DHS Troops Chad Wolf is able to send into the mayhem to protect the cities, the riots will not stop until the DOJ is prepared to throw serious criminal charges at the violent actors involved.

This is the only way to decisively and permanently put an end to the violent riots.

While the DOJ has recently charged some of the actors, it remains to be seen whether these are serious charges that will stick or, more than likely, this is some version of catch and release.

Two sources close to the matter in the DOJ say that Barr is eager to stop the protests, but he is simply scared. While this might seem quite damning, it is an understandable human reaction. Along with the State Department, the DOJ is a key swamp stronghold and any bold actions taken against Antifa on behalf of the American people will be met with sabotage and resistance internally..."

Trump is not going to win. As someone said the other day, 2016 was a surprise. The fix was in and as soon as Scankles took the oath of office, Trump was going to be jailed.

This time, it's different. They know he's out there. The stealing is in place or being prepared. The media battlespace is prepared and unpleasant stories are being broomed - the "the horrible media is unfair to poor Joe and gives lying Trump a pass" are already being rolled out.

Governors of blue and red states are clamping down even harder on public gatherings and mandating the Mask of Cain while pushing mail-in voting and using the Kung Flu as an excuse for forbidding Trump to hold any rallies.

I won't even mention that fat pantload Barr and his flapping mouth.

People are sick of this shit. But too many of them blame Trump. Biden is a reminder of the Obama days when all was happy, a well-spoken man was in the White House and the world loved us.

But seriously, this is all wrong. Just because the Dems have a plan, doesn't mean the plan will work.

Of course they had a plan, They always have a plan. And the plan is pretty much always the same: control the media, coordinate slander campaigns agains the Republican, commit vote fraud in swing states. Duh. But it it isn;t always enough to actually put them over the top. And since about 90% of the populace is hep to the media's lies, and almost no one is naive any more and willing to accept media slander unquestioningly, then the Dems' plan has even less of a chance of succeeding tan it did in 2016.

You don't encourage riots, you don't *allow* riots, even among your supporters, because mobs go crazy and devastate the shit out of everything. They *Always* do, they are a deadly, dangerous thing that always gets out of control, which is why responsible men no matter what their party, in the past, always knew that Riots had to be put down *hard* as soon as they started. All of these "leaders" like Lightfoot and Frey are too idiotic politically to realize that it will hurt *them* if their supporters run amuck, and they're too gutless to do anything about it even after they realize it's gone wrong.

A man who knew how to stop a riot: Abraham Lincoln, the President who called Federal Troops into New York City where they volley fired into the crowds until the riot was put down. That's how you stop a riot.

OK, someone else sees it. This is why I strongly think we should - right now - be pushing an amendment to put it EXPLICITLY in the Constitution. (It's not actually there.) Hell, it should be in the Republican platform this year. And our people should be pushing it on air, and on the net.

The Ds are not yet ready to openly say what they want. They are still just nibbling around the edges. Just as they once did about marriage, and trannies, and abortion, and open borders.

Just once I'd like to attack them preemptively. Before they are ready, before they've prepared the ground. Make them fight a battle they are not yet ready for. And on a matter that is really important.

But I despair of conservatives seeing this, and taking the opportunity. So, as usual, by 2030, that too will be gone. (I'd also like to see the same for secret ballots. But there too, we'll let it pass.)

364 It occurred to me that Trump won this game against the media years ago by starting the 'fake news' concept.

By directing people's attention to the media's lies (whether outright or by omission), anything they say and do is now treated with skepticism.

And the media's major flaw (amongst many) was their stupidity in believing they could Chip Diller away everything that keeps happening.

It ain't working. People see it and then see the media screaming 'All is Well!'

The media doesn't have nearly enough coverage to contain the Marxist Machine they used to be able to. Wildfire is out of control.

That sucks. Really sucks.
The monetary ramifications of this are revolutionary
Posted by: Braenyard

Feel free to copy and spread far and wide:

HERE IS WHAT NO CASH / CASHLESS ACTUALLY MEANS

A cashless society means no cash. Zero. It does not mean mostly cashless and you can still use a wee bit of cash here and there. Cashless means fully digital, fully traceable, fully controlled. I think those who support a cashless society are not fully aware of what they are asking for. A cashless society means

If you are struggling with your mortgage on a particular month, you cannot do an odd job to get you through

Your child cannot go and help the local farmer to earn a bit of summer cash

No more cash slipped into the hands of a child as a good luck charm or from their grandparent when going on holidays

No more money in birthday cards

No more piggy banks for your child to collect pocket money and to learn about the value of earning

No more cash for a rainy day fund or for that something special you have been putting 20 dollars week away for

No more fivers on the side because your wages barely cover the bills or put food on the table

No more charity collections

No more selling bits and pieces from your home that you no longer want or need for a bit of cash in return

No more cash gifts from relatives or loved ones

No more football or basketball bets
No more poker night

What a cashless society does guarantee

Banks have full control of every single penny you own

Every transaction you make is recorded

All your movements and actions are traceable.

Access to your money can be blocked at the click of a button when or if banks need clarification from you which will take about 3 weeks, a thousand questions answered and five thousand passwords

You will have no choice but to declare and be taxed on every penny in your possession

No more lottery and casino winnings under $1200.00

The government WILL decide what you can and cannot purchase
(No more guns or ammo purchases)

If your transactions are deemed in any way questionable by those who create the questions, your money will be frozen, for your own good
(No more guns or ammo purchases)

I could write lists for 5 days and still not finish explaining how utterly awful a cashless society would be for everyone. Even for the goody two shoes who would not dream of not declaring 500 dollars

Forget about cash being dirty. Stop being so easily led. Cash has been around for a very, very, very long time and it gives you control over how you trade with the world. It gives you independence.

I heard a story where a man supposedly contracted Covid because of a 20 dollar bill he had handled. There is the same chance of Covid being on a card as being on cash. If you cannot see how utterly ridiculous this assumption is then there is little hope.

If you are a customer, pay with cash. If you are a shop owner, remove those ridiculous signs that ask people to pay by card. Cash is a legal tender, it is our right to pay with cash. Banks are making it increasingly difficult to lodge cash and that has nothing to do with a virus, nor has this dirty money trend.

Please open your eyes. Please stop believing everything you are being told. Almost every single topic in today's world is tainted with corruption and hidden agendas. Please stop telling me and others like me that we are what is wrong with the world when you hail the most corrupt members of society as your heroes. Politics and greed is what is wrong with the world.

Not those who are trying to alert you to the reality in which you are blindly floating along whilst being immobilised by irrational fear. Fear created to keep you doing and believing in exactly what you are complacently doing.

Pay with cash and please say no to a cashless society while you still have the choice.

I had one of those bellweather type conversations with a retired electrician around that time. He listed all the stupid nonsense the Democrat Party was up to, and then said "but Trump scares me, I'm afraid he'll take away my pension."

So from that I extrapolated... how many of these Democrat voters are NO LONGER afraid of Trump as the boogeyman, and how many of them are looking at the exponentially more insane Democrat Party as the real threat.

I don't know the answer, but that's where this election will be won or lost.

This is all true, but I kind of doubt - even as cynical and hateful as I am - that a true cashless society is not in the near future. Everywhere it has been tried, it has failed. Not to mention that this is the US, and we have three things going for us on this front:
1) The "underbanked" tend to be Democrat interest groups. Many minority populations don't use banking and are cash-centric. Moving to cashless would piss them off. This is not something that cannot be overcome, but it is a problem.
2) The US government gets involved in a lot of shady business around the world. Pallets of Benjamins make that shady business possible. If that cash can't repatriate for spending at home and flowing through banks, it has no value. As much as the government would *love* to have no more cash at home, their international chicanery depends on it. Their corruption needs it.
3) They'll get 80% of the way there just doing nothing. This is already well underway. Why bother taking major actions against the remaining 20% - most of which is penny-ante stuff - just to finish closing the pincer on people? They have most of their wishlist already with the movement of most transactions to plastic of some type.

Plus, off year elections almost always go to the party that lost previously, it's just a normal cycle in American politics that never made much sense to me, but look at 1994, 2010 and 2014, Republicans had red waves that were much bigger than what Democrats had in 2018 even with all those retirements.

Ellen DeGeneres reportedly fat-shamed a young boy in the 1970s.

"In an exclusive interview with DailyMailTV, Ben Gravolet said the under fire TV host worked for his mother's recruitment agency when he was a child, and claimed Ellen -& then aged about 20 - would regularly subject him to biting, mean insults.

"'I would dread going to [my mom's] office to see her after school or on a day if I was sick and Ellen was there,' Gravolet said.

"'She would criticize my weight. I would try to do homework in the office. She'd call me stupid, she'd call me fat. She would criticize my clothes.'"

517 I really do not know what the game plan is by having these perpetual riots and protests. They do it every 4 years and all evidence shows that if it has any effect at all on elections, it hurts them.

I suspect that its not the DNC who is behind this at all, its the "tear down America REVOLUTION!" crazies led by Soros and others who hate the country and don't give a crap about elections. And the Dems play along because these are their base.

They get rid of them because it explodes the leftist myth that they're speaking for The People. If you allow comments, it quickly becomes obvious that a lot of people aren't buying the leftist agitprop.

Well, except all of the crap is happening in the middle of deep blue cities and generally blue states.The rest of America are observers. They may want it to stop, but it's not THEIR problem. I live in a Chicago suburb and it's not MY problem. Anecdotally, the observers are not afraid they are pissed, and they do not want to lock in commie USA or patriarchy USA or white devil USA.

Even with the media blackout the casual democrats, the reflexive democrats are seeing a party they have never seen before. The same for the independents. The embargoes are not working. Reality is getting out. And once brain dead Joe starts have to be engaged it will be an obvious, cluster puck crap show.

So, it might be wishful thinking but I believe it's going to be a massacre in Nov. and one that might permanently destroy the current Democratic party as a major force in the US.

Those afraid, those wanting it to stop at all costs are already on team blue. Their votes are there to be lost.

548 What these mayors and prosecutors need to understand is these looters aren't partisans. If Biden comes into office these looters will still pull this shit, as they now know if they can gather 100-200 people they can repeatedly do this every few months. We saw this for a while with smaller groups running into Apple or Nike Stores and robbing everything, now they feel empowered to do it on a larger scale since there are no consequences. They're ignoring this and it will come to bite them when the looting happens during a democrats turn in office.

Unless the 100 arrested get prison terms nothing will change, and seeing Kim Foxx is the DA i highly doubt any of them will see a day in jail. Either that or businesses need to turn these cities into empty wastelands, no grocery stores, no shopping centers l, nothing; move to conservative towns with mayors who will let the police force do their job when street trash comes to town.
