smashing windows of stores on Michigan Avenue and grab items and drive away. [snip]

Someone needs to learn how to write and stick to one tense...

smash windows grab and drive away, or smashing...grabbing and driving away...

jeez...are we dealing with 3rd graders here?

Don’t answer that...lol

Anyway...I still say it’s way past time for water cannons and rock salt...it’s not hard to stop this crap... Detroit never let it get started.

How many businesses are going to leave Chicago, Portland, Seattle, New York, and never come back? Cuomo is already begging the wealthy to come back from safer pastures...

New Dem-Rat talking point— “Its symbolic taking, not looting.” No joke.

Burn, Loot, Maim. Antifa's ugly big brother.

It s noteworthy that the greatest of the riots being mounted are in those cities and localities that have been under liberal Democrat regimes and hegemony for years if not decades.

To make it happen we must DENY any money from the feds to rebuild these s holes or to fund welfare to reparations in those cities. Pull in the reins. That is how you stop a runaway horse. Recall the famous headline: Ford to NYC: drop dead. Not long after in came in Rudy and he cleaned it up as much as possible. It does not have to be a GOP guy either just someone who does the right thing for the city and country. Mayor Washington I believe in filthadphia faced with a building takeover blew it up! In LA the Symbian Liberation Army (cockroaches really) holed up and were exterminated by fires set off by tracers and flash bangs. Just have to have the stones to do it. Let them alone and it just gets worse. BTW I support peaceful protests and free speech but when it gets to rioting terrorism and sedition I believe in taking care of it with extreme prejudice.

“Just watched a live stream of a black guy putting a bunch of looted stuff into an Escalade and driving off in it. “

Well, he’s entrepenurial and obviously willing to work long, odd hours to get ahead. And here you are at home watching. Are you jealous? It’s a bad look.

Extreme </s>

They have activists all over the country - not just the big cities.

Next on the list will be the medium-sized cities.

All it will take is their threats of violence and local officials will fold.

Which belies the myth of “violence never solves anything”

"ANTIFA is declaring a 50 day siege of DC next month."

ANTIFA should be declared a terrorist organization so we could act accordingly..

CHICAGO (CBS)– In what appears to be a widespread, coordinated attack, dozens of stores, banks and other businesses were broken into across downtown Chicago overnight. The looting spread from the Loop, up to the Near North Side.

The unrest started around 11 p.m. Sunday and cause is still unknown at this time, but it does appear to be a coordinated effort. Video shows multiple cars parked on the streets as people ran out and broke into stores. CBS 2’s Ryan Baker reports that former Bears player Patrick Mannelly witnessed the looting from his high-rise condo and saw cars driving up to a U-Haul truck and putting stolen goods into the trailer.

Maxine Water TAKE HEED. Here we have one of your RACIAL black people that you insist have the job as VP. Imagine this gal being in the Presidency, if you can’t run a city, for sure you can’t run a nation. We need to get away from IDENTITY politics and elect Qualified people IRREGARDLESS of their tone of skin pigment.

Not a peep about this on the CNN site, and only minimal small headline coverage on the others outside Fox.

If a tree falls in the woods...?

In Detroit in 1967 newscrews filmed integrated teams of looters assisting each other in loading up heavy furniture items into tow trailers and pickup trucks. Everyone very polite, well behaved and middle class. No pushing or shoving, everyone just waiting their turn to pull up at the customer pickup ramp. This happened quite a bit in the Motor City bugaloo.

Someone also needs to learn how to use “you’re” and “your”.

I’m not a teacher. Just someone who appreciates the proper use of the words of our language.
