Remember when President Obama condemned rioters? His relatively fierce 2015 criticism of the violence perpetrated in the wake of Freddie Grey’s death has been cast aside by today’s left-wing activists.
The latest case in point comes from Black Lives Matter organizers in Chicago who held a rally for the 100 or so rioters arrested for causing $60 million in property damage and injuring 13 police officers over the weekend.
One organizer justified their criminal acts as “reparations.” (Fox News)
“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.”
Here’s a sample of what leftists think qualifies as reparations after a 20-year-old allegedly shoots at the cops and gets shot in return.

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.
Officers had responded to a call about a man with a gun in the Englewood neighborhood. While being pursued by police, the man, who was on foot, “turned and fired shots” at officers before being struck himself and taken to a local hospital, Deputy Chief Delonda Tally told Fox 32 Chicago.

Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, needs to get an education. Most medium and big businesses do not have insurance for theft or shoplifting. They are self-insured and have to sell more to make up for the losses. However some are insured for damages done to the premises, not all though since some of those are self-insured for that too. For instance, the Autozone and US Post Office in Minneapolis that was burned down during the riots was self-insured by the owners and the Autozone probably won’t be rebuilt.Small businesses do have insurance but most carry high deductibles which will probably put a lot of them out of business for good….
Evil rationalization of their criminal actions. Too bad she is not charged for inciting to riot. Want to know why so many blacks are in jail? THEY DO THE CRIME.
criminal organizers should be arrested and charged and convicted with their crimes
Just a couple more months…and “Patriots” WILL know what they MUST DO !!!
Silent Majority will Do It Again!
They can’t hide it. It is not the James man. He resisted violently. He told them to put him on the ground. So how is a man clostrophobic (sp) and able to get in a car to drive? HE LIED.
This is what you get with a great many black people today. The government can’t give them enough for them to be happy. They want REPARATIONS. for what? They were never slaves. Unless you count being slaves to the Democrats and LBJ
Did you see the tiny car he was in at the beginning?
BLM …NOT so Fast… ALL LIVES MATTER! Do the Crime serve the Time!
Arrest these criminals and those who encourage, condone and defend them!
This Is America??
Someone should whisper that to AG Barr so he is not embarrassed.
We should be exterminating this scum. NOT LISTENING to it!
BLM stands for Burn Loot and Murder
