Apparently this bundle of idiots thought the looting and rioting was an opportunity for them to partake in order to simply steal merchandise. How charming of them.
So they made the rioters look bad (worse than they do on their own for what ever “purpose” they claim) AND the people who fall into similar groups. We already knew that all the rioters and looters fall under the title of “criminals” anyways, but they’re the types to trip the alarms on purpose and carry around their own spotlights.

They weren’t even protesting a cause. They literally just wanted to steal things and justify their behavior within the umbrella of “justice-just-because.”
The Daily Wire reported:
Looters and rioters who caused an estimated $60 million in damages to Chicago’s downtown were not activists protesting a shooting in the city’s Englewood neighborhood, the Chicago Tribune reports, despite Chicago Black Lives Matter protests last week that condoned and even encouraged the unrest and begged Chicago police to release more than 100 people arrested last Sunday night, calling them political prisoners.
Instead, the Chicago Tribune reports, the looters and rioters were mostly “college students, out-of-work parents, and convicted felons” who took advantage of an out-of-control situation to help themselves to thousands of dollars in designer merchandise.
HA HA HA political prisoners?! Give me a break.
Going to prison after destroying property, irrespective of your “cause,” makes you a political prisoner just as much as farting makes you a skunk. Sure, you can find a similarity or two if you really try, but we all see the reality of it from over here.
Out of those who were arrested, not a single one of them called the Englewood neighborhood their home, nor were they even aware of the shooting that initially sparked the unrest in other groups.
“After hundreds of people looted stores on the Mag Mile and elsewhere downtown, 43 defendants appeared before judges this week charged with felonies, an odd mix of peer-pressured college students, out-of-work parents and convicted felons,” the Tribune noted.
“But none of them, it appeared, were from Englewood, even though Chicago police say the widespread looting had its beginnings with a police shooting there Sunday afternoon,” the outlet continued. “In fact, no one who made statements in court even mentioned the incident.”
Most of the defendants received low bonds, few in excess of $100, even though many targeted luxury boutiques like Gucci and Dior, and high-end stores like Apple.
This really isn’t helping their narrative that it’s the police who are the ones so out of control…
