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.”
Jeezez. If BLM had any good will built up among those who felt for them, what a great statement to destroy that. "Property damage and theft is acceptable because we deserve free stuff. And F.U." The overwhelming majority of people will not agree with that. With their own words they're exposing their lack of content of character. MLK would be ashamed.
No criminal they can’t embrace on the BLM team.
That's what food banks and charitable organizations are for. Not to mention all the government and NGO aid out there.
Who will open a business if blacks can come in and take what they want and claim its “reparations”?
I got your reparations.....right here...
This is so wrong on so many levels (said no Democrat, ever).
The blacks who don’t agree with this thug better be speaking up because it is getting dangerously close.....
I wonder if any of these businesses will ever reopen? The destruction was pretty significant.
A fool. And soon a dead fool.
Not even the mafia publicly praised criminals.
Anyone toss the “What other choice did they have?” screed in the ring yet?
Arrest Ariel Atkins for being an leader of an organized crime organization.
“That is reparations,” Atkins said. “Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.”
And the logical reaction of businesses and law abiding citizens to this insanity, Atkins and the other criminals call “white flight”. What a bunch of idiotic thugs. F Em.
It stops when you arrest and throw in jail ALL members of the violent revolutionary group blm.
Undocumented reparations
I don’t care if every store owner Shoots and Kills Looters, because that makes sure the store owner eats and has clothes.”””
The Koreans from the Rodney King riots should start a new business—how to shoot looters.
Reparations from me will be paid in gold — Gold Dot and Golden Saber, 230 grain packages.
Trump and/or whoever is capable should have declared BLM along with Antifa terrorist groups months ago. Instead of trying to get black voters’ support, should have gone after BLM. They are the bigger threat than Antifa. Now, we have most of corporate America, tens of millions of people, the media etc. supporting BLM.
