A Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer defended the pillaging and plundering of downtown as a form of reparations.
“I don’t care if somebody decides to loot a Gucci’s or a Macy’s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats. That makes sure that that person has clothes,” Ariel Atkins said at a rally on Monday, local.
“That’s reparations,” Atkins said. “Anything they want to take, take it because these businesses have insurance. They’re going to get their money back. My people aren’t going to get anything.”
That’s the same excuse BLM will use when they come knocking on your front door — provided they knock first.
