Hours after Chicago police shot a young man who turned and fired at them, hundreds of people went on a looting and vandalism spree in various parts of the Windy City early Monday, according to reports.


The mayhem began about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, when cops responded to reports of a man with a gun in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side and located a person who fit the description near Moran Park, the Chicago Tribune reported.


While running away from police, the suspect turned around and fired at them. The officers returned fire, wounding the gunman, who was transported to University of Chicago Hospital in unknown condition, according to the newspaper.


Police and witnesses later said a crowd of about 30 people faced off against cops near 56th and Aberdeen streets.

Were any Black people involved?

Why do you ask?

Why do you ask?

Just curious. (I've been noticing a trend)

OK...hope you're well...

30 people. That's quite a terrifying mob. Of course, even just 4-5 black people in a group is terrifying to some.

Do you believe this is just happening in Chicago, Mujer de Buho?

How about we allow just one anarchist to fire at you?

Now it's UHaul trucks?? At 3 am somebody just happens to have a UHaul truck ready to go uptown to Macy's, Nordstroms, and Gucci to get some mo' free stuff??

Looter Level: Professional

It would not surprise me at all if organized groups of people are manipulating everyone using Twitter and Facebook when they decide they need mo' free stuff. Any excuse will do. If a crisis doesn't exist, invent one. Spread a rumor on social media, and get mo' free stuff.

I hope the police, at least, know that a UHaul truck cruising Shitcago streets at 3 am is suspicious and worthy of a pullover.

Running gun battles in the streets of Chicago during a looting spree? (with extreme sarcasm and snarkiness) Hey Shitcago, how's that gun control working for you?

If you call 'puttering around the house' doing well, then yes, doing fine.
Hope you are doing well also. Just a question:
Do you make your dogs wear masks while they are in the House?

Stereotyping is a sleazy tactic that the right has used for years.

The NY Post is a rather dubious source of news.

What's a little widespread destruction and looting for such a "good cause"? Think how they're changing the world for the better...
Oh, wait.... it's not a good cause and they're not...
