Rioters pillaged high-end stores all along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile on two separate weekends this summer.
Now, data collected from these brazen criminal acts reveal one popular yet overlooked target: ATMs. (ABC7 Chicago)
More than 100 ATMs were stolen or damaged during the two major riot periods of May 30 to June 2 and between Aug. 9 and 11, according to Chicago Police Department figures provided to the I-Team in response to a Freedom of Information Act filing.
The most spectacular ATM theft occurred in downtown Chicago early on Monday, Aug. 10 when police say a man videoed himself hammering an ATM into smithereens and beamed the act live onto social media.
…
The majority of ATM thefts and vandalism occurred during an initial weekend of mayhem at the tail of protests which were in response to the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black resident of Minneapolis.
Twelve ATM attacks occurred during the August melees. As the I-Team has reported after both periods of street violence and looting, investigators suspected that many of the most lucrative break-ins were well-coordinated efforts by professional burglary teams, or snatch and grab gangs that had targets identified and getaway routes mapped out.
The crime wave engulfing the Windy City may have helped prompt the Chicago chapter of the nation’s largest police union to endorse President Trump’s reelection.

Dose anyone really give a crap.
Democrats need campaign funds that cannot be traced.
The CivilWar is going to be filled with blood running in the streets of the delusional ANTIFA Communist PUNKS. The carnage will begin in the early hours of NOVEMBER 8TH….Watch….
I hate when they write these articles and say the riots are in response to the police killing George Floyd. This man was on drugs with heart disease and couldn’t breathe before he had a knee on him. Maybe had he acted like a human being and not someone who is unable to control himself he would still be alive. Funny thing this guy gets mentioned all the time yet I bet when he held a pregnant woman at gun point and terrorized her it was a blip in the news.
It is typical that the Progressive make heroes out of criminals and monsters. It’s what they do besides lying, cheating, stealing, and hypocriting.
Every black or any race resisting arrest is creating their own demise ! This blm crap is a bo marxist crime by dem ass sub-human weapons of mass destruction to destroy like any other attacking enemy waging war on U.S. National Security !
only thing I know is that there is no way I will vote for the Godless democrats no mater what they say about Trump Trump 2020
This blm, antifa attack on the U.S.A. is a dem instigated crime for power to win the 2020 election ! Two #1 instigating treasonous wannabe dictators in past 11 years to be eliminated & stop terror attacks internally destroying U.S.Freedom !
My idea. Just remove all ATM machines from the city until the death rate drops belong ONE PER WEEK. What can socialists do without money??? LOL
The crooks that steal the ATM’s are just following Mayor Lightfoot and the city council’s example by taking what they want from other people….
Lightfoot is the biggest crook of them all……
Now that should be a FEDERAL FELONY, banks are protected by FDIC, so this is BANK ROBBERY, in the drive up /walk up, way and never entering the building.
“…during an initial weekend of mayhem at the tail of protests which were in response to the police killing of George Floyd.” Wrong. The sentence should read “…during an initial weekend of mayhem using the drug induced death of George Floyd as an excuse to riot and loot.” George Floyd didn’t die at the hands of police, he died from a self inflicted overdose of fentanyl. Moreover, the “protesters” don’t give a rat’s a__ about Floyd, they used his death as an excuse to riot and loot.
the alleged mayor needs to be charged with terrorism
