There was looting and rioting this past weekend on the Miracle Mile shopping district in Chicago.  Theorhetically, it was blamed on a false report that police had shot a child.  That was not the case,, as we later learned. City officials said it was criminal activity and would be dealt with as a crime.  The mayor has stated emphatically that she does not want federal agents or any outside help.

Today, BLM Chicago corrected that view.  They said that it was a justified protest against police brutality, and it was right to loot those stores because they are rich people's stores and that's not part of "their city".  They called for a rally outside the police station where the looters are being held tonight and said they are still demanding tha Chicago police be disbanded.  

I have to say that I am somewhat amazed that the people of Chicago are permitting this to go on.  Will they just quietly move out of the city and let BLM take it over?
