Reparations? Who is black enough? How much is a young black person worth, and older person? Doing the work of the eugenicists and Nazi's


'Looting is reparations': BLM protesters gather outside Chicago PD in support of looters who ransacked city Sunday night, as organizer claims 'anything they wanted to take, they can take because these businesses have insurance'

  • Black Lives Matter Chicago held a protest Monday night in which they defended looting as a form of 'reparations' 
  • Drawbridges into Chicago were raised Monday night and freeway exits closed as downtown was locked down
  • Precautions were being taken to avoid a second night of chaos, following riots and looting in the early hours
  • SWAT teams were seen patrolling the streets of the Illinois city on Monday afternoon
  • Protests and looting erupted when a false rumor spread that police had shot and killed a child on Sunday
  • Police in fact had shot and injured a 20-year-old man, who ran from them, turning to fire his gun at officers
  • Latrell Allen has been charged with attempted murder after the shooting on Sunday which sparked the riots 
  • Chicago's Magnificent Mile was hit by looters after hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police  
  • People then started organizing on Twitter and Facebook to loot downtown in a caravan of vehicles  
  • The violence coincided with the sixth anniversary of Michael Brown's death in Ferguson, Missouri 
  • Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the looting had nothing to do with peaceful protest over police brutality
  • She denied that the decision not to prosecute looters during George Floyd riots had spurred on looters now 

Black Lives Matter Chicago said early Monday's looting of stores was a form of 'reparations' as the group held a protest Monday night in support of the more than 100 people arrested after an evening of violence. 

Downtown Chicago was otherwise quiet after authorities cut off access, with drawbridges leading into the city pulled up and freeway exits blocked after riots sparked by a false rumor of a child shot by police.

At least 13 police officers were injured as the violence claimed an estimated $65 million in property damage.
