nothing to do with Boeing in any regard - they could care less - world headquarters halfway across the city in Corporate World and under heavy guard >>> some of the peon workers live in the City but Daddy Warbucks is 35 miles up north on the estate with private security ....

Nightwolf after listening to my wrap of this said: "Whoever planned this probably has military training - this is a real operation of the sort you would do if you were in 'hostile territory' and needed supplies." Right down to the targeting of high-end stores, ATM's and now bank robberies.
He thinks this is a LOT more SERIOUS than just the usual sort of riot where folks already a mob get out of hand and someone says "screw the rich" and they all rush into the first shop or neighborhood they can.
This was a PLANNED ACTION, and I think he is correct.
Whoever did this may in fact be a new incarnation of "Da War Lord" (the guy in Seattle) only this time a real one or a potential one.
Again this is Nightwolf's ideas, I suspect he may be right but I didn't come up with the theory.

A reasonable and scary possibility with a NOTABLY NON-ZERO (Positive) probability.
Time's'about-up!!
We either SEE and RECOGNIZE that this is an actual, other-COMMANDED WAR or we cease to be.
As Doz says, whacknstack time comes ever closer. (And my leading foot slides MUCH closer to the "LIne I said I would NEVER Cross." It appears I lied.)

Note Villian Phoenix comment below. Lori lacks the intestinal fortitude and gonads to order it though.

So long as the looters wear masks and social distance the leftist elite will be OK with it. The looting isn't getting coverage on MSNBC and CNN. Maybe that means its a myth too like Nadler said of Antifa violence.

They may be IN the PNC Bank but they most ASUREDLY AIN'T ROBBING it since all da Monae is safely inside a vault that ain't likely to just open with an "Open SES-S-AME" command.

Not to be like that, but 1 instance of a 24ft u-Haul does not equate to orchestrated pre planning. It just don't.

Looters damage property in Chicago's Magnificent Mile, shots fired - Chicago Tribune
(Reuters) - Hundreds of people looted Chicago’s Magnificent Mile commercial district early Monday, smashing windows and clashing with the police for hours including at least one exchange of gunfire, the Chicago Tribune reported, citing police.
The Chicago police declined to comment when contacted by Reuters early Monday.
People darted in and out of stores along Michigan Avenue carrying shopping bags full of merchandise, the report said.
The glass pane of a Nordstrom store was shattered, according to a photograph published on the Tribune’s website.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The Tribune reported it was unclear what had provoked the vandalism but noted that anti-police graffiti had been spotted in at least two areas.

Police return gunfire amid looting in downtown Chicago
(CNN)Someone fired shots at police in downtown Chicago on Monday morning, and the officers returned fire, police spokesman Tom Ahem said in a post on Twitter.
Bus and train service in and around downtown Chicago was suspended at police request, according to updates from the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
CNN crews near the area reported seeing a large number of police cars in the retail district. Video taken outside of Saks Fifth Avenue showed armed police officers standing near the entry door in which the glass had been broken out with the security gate inside partially up.
Another video showed a large crowd gathered outside of the Coach store. Windows in the store were shattered. In a separate video, someone could be seen tossing a projectile at the window of a jewelry store on Michigan Avenue.
Police told CNN large crowds began to gather shortly after midnight. They did not have any specific information on the size of the crowd, amount of damage, or level of police response, only saying, "This is an ongoing situation."
Video shows looters on Michigan Avenue and damage to Saks Fifth Avenue, Coach and Pandora stores.
It was unclear if the unrest was related to an officer-involved shooting in Chicago on Sunday. A "hostile" crowd with "emotions running high" gathered shortly after the shooting, according to Chicago Police Deputy Yolanda Talley.
Talley said during a press conference Sunday that the group who gathered had misinformation about what happened and when the crowd became violent two arrests were made. One officer suffered a hurt shoulder, one was sprayed with mace and the window of a police vehicle was smashed with a brick, Talley said.
"This is a direct response to one agitator on the scene getting people worked up without having the whole story," said Talley.
Police said in a statement that they responded Sunday to a call about 2:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET) that a person had a gun. When they arrived, the man described to be in his late teens to mid-20s ran away and began firing at officers, the statement said. Police said they returned fire.
The suspect's gun was recovered from the scene.
According to the statement, the suspect was taken to University of Chicago Hospital and his condition was unknown. Three officers were taken to a hospital for observation.

Actually, yeah, that's likely so. My great-grandmother was a Bell telephone operator in Chicago around that time. Heard a few stories of that era; a lot of people would likely have been very surprised to know who their REAL employer was, even in the straightest of businesses.
Drives me nuts...
Gee, I wonder! How about greed, boredom, misleaders tacitly encouraging it and absolutely no consequences? Any "event" they try to blame is just a convenient excuse.

Hundreds of young black males shot at by other young black males and the only sound is crickets. A cop shoots back at a young black male and riots occur. hmmmmmm

The commies have pushed this to a point that containment will have to be the first step in stopping this crap.
How fast can miles of fencing and border forces be deployed.
How do you vet the non-combatants....I guess when it's time, any law abiding folks will be long gone.

I thought it was insane when they did it.
I would suggest they move and quick - maybe this time to Wichita.
I think your point needs a repeat.
If I was a white cop - I would let them do WHATEVER they wanted - till I knew that I had REALLY GOOD BACKING from the citizens.
Any black on black crime would get a BIG pass from me.
