Black Lives Matter holds rally in Chicago to support those arrested after looting, unrest sparked by false story
[FOXNEWS] Black Lives Matter members in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...held a rally on Monday to support the more than 100 arrested last night following widespread looting and rioting that caused at least $60 million in property damage and saw 13 coppers injured, according to a report. The rally was organized by Black Lives Matter Chicago and was held at a cop shoppe in the South Loop where organizers say individuals are currently being held in jug. At least one organizer called the looting tantamount to "reparations." "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," said Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, according to NBC Chicago. "That makes sure that person has clothes." "That is reparations," Atkins continued. "Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance." The unrest was prompted by a social media post urging people to converge on Chicago’s business district after police shot a man on the South Side around 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
