Protests over the death of George Floyd this weekend in Chicago took an ugly turn when looters and rioters destroyed the city. Videos of looter ransacking stores on Michigan Avenue were shared around social media.
The gem of Chicago, Michigan Avenue, is a war zone today
Our petty tyrant Mayor Lightfoot imposed the harshest lockdown in America. She & Gov Pritzker shuttered schools, churches, parks, and small businesses

Like Washington D.C., NYC, Minneapolis, and other major cities across America, fires raged in buildings and cop cars burned after “peaceful” protesters destroyed black-owned businesses and killed black cops to get “justice” for George.

Hidden behind a clown mask, white “peaceful” protester, Timothy O’Donnell foolishly believed he could get away with setting a Chicago police SUV on fire by hiding his identity behind the freakish mask. Unfortunately, for the peaceful protester, his amateur neck tattoo that reads, “PRETTY,” gave him away.
