Chicago Black Lives Matter Leader Calls Looting ‘Reparations,’ Encourages Looters to Continue (VIDEO)
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 8/11/2020 | by Cassandra Fairbanks

A Black Lives Matter leader in Chicago has referred to looting as “reparations” and urged the looters to continue because the businesses “have insurance.”

Ariel Atkins, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Chicago, made the ridiculous comments on camera.

Atkins urged people to take “anything they want to take.”

“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci… or a Macy’s… or a Nike… because that makes sure that that person eats. That makes sure that person has clothes,” Atkins said. “That’s reparations. Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance. They’re gonna get their money back.”

The Nationalist Review previously reported that the official chapter of Black Lives Matter in Chicago had came out in favor of the looting that took place in the city. In a press release, the black supremacist organization said that “when protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy, that is not ‘our’ city and has never been meant for us” the mayor “has not provided black communities any alternative for demanding justice”

I encourage them to continue, too - in Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, NYC, Seattle, LA, etc.

Next time some DemonRat congress-buffoon talks about legislating “reparations” point back to this and say “already paid!”

Let them loot.

Televise as much of it as possible.

Label the Rat Party as the Looter Party.

Hang it around the not-so-African Kamala the Foreigner’s neck.

Nixon won in ‘68 after the spectacle of the riots in Chicago. No reason we can’t let the trash in that town help us again, even if unwittingly.

She claims that looting is not a problem because the businesses are insured. Yeah, then the insurance company jacks up the cost or cancels the policy altogether. So businesses close or move out of the area. Then the residents will be screaming that there are no local businesses.

Ok, you have now got your reparations. I don’t want to hear about it again

If the police see people carrying out looted goods, they should shoot to kill. If police see people throwing incendiary devices into businesses, churches, or residences, they should shoot to kill. I think this nonsense by Antifa and BLM, both hardline commie loser organizations, would come to a screenching halt with such consequences for their life-threatening and larcenous behavior.

"Shoot to kill"

Not yet. Not quite ripe... The Democrats have to burn, and the wishy washies have to fear that the Democrat's goons are coming after THEM!

Then, and only then. Let's see which of the media buckles first, print, or the networks...

These guys seem to be forgetting just who pays the vast majority of city taxes -- the wealthy.

Drive the wealthy out and suddenly everything from sewage treatment to school indoctrination will have to be paid by the "community" that is left. The community will not be able to afford these taxes and services will have to be cut.

Fior an example look at Flint Michigan and their water system.

And, subsidizing these services has been going on for a long time. Does that count as reparations?

More precisely, any talk of “reparations” is really about looting.

A lady who posted earlier today reported what her husband said and it’s true:
“600,000 white men died to free blacks and that’s reparations enough.”

Exactly.

The rioters and looters are unwittingly campaigning for Trump.

She’s encouraging them to loot their way to hell.

They should check out the Ten Commandments. It’s stealing.
