The Macy’s (former Marshall Field’s) on State Street in the Loop was smashed and looted on Saturday. Along with a host of stores up and down Michigan Avenue.

What on earth are they hoping to accomplish? All they are doing is detracting from the horror of what happened to George Flynn by changing the subject.

It is way past time for the actual demonstrations to stop, that is the only way to stop the destruction. Gf’s brother I believe called for people to stop the looting, fires and violence. He said that GF would not want this. He said that they should vote instead.

These aren't protestors, they are opportunists that realize that right now they can steal a bunch of stuff they couldn't otherwise afford with very little chance of being caught. Nothing more.

These are the same gangsters and hoodlums who do the crime in the black community that the elitist black leaders DONT want to deal with.

These issues must be dealt with holistically or they'll never get solved.

Violence by police and violence in the community both must be dealt with or were not getting anywhere.


We'll be back here soon in another incident.
