'That's not appropriate. We're not talking about mob actions,' Mayor Johnson said on Wednesday.

That’s more like it. You’re onto something. Trashing a store must have been tranquil.

Dems taking control of the language is infuriating.

400 is kind of a lot to describe as a “troop”. The behavior fits, though.

Agree. Not like this was Cosa Nostra.

Let’s call it what it is: a large group of inner city feral thugs.

All this Soros lapdog ever does about Black criminals is make excuses for them. Sane Chicagoans must either arm themselves to the teeth, or leave.

It could be called a race riot, except that implies some political purpose.
