I can't see a positive outcome in taking this sort of approach, so hopefully the rest of BLM smacks down this chapter before they do any more damage to the movement.

Members of Black Lives Matter Chicago held a rally on Monday night in support of more than 100 people arrested following widespread looting and rioting in the city the night prior.

Speaking at the rally outside a police station in the South Loop where organizers said the suspected looters are in custody, organizer Ariel Atkins excused the looting which reportedly caused at least $60 million in property damage and left 13 police officers injured calling the theft reparations, NBC Chicago reported.

I dont care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macys or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats, Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, said. That makes sure that person has clothes.

That is reparations, Atkins added. Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.
