ARIEL Atkins, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Chicago, said that looting was “reparations” and urged the looters to continue, because businesses “have insurance.” She said, “I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats, that makes sure that person has clothes.” “That is reparations. Anything they want to take, take it, because these businesses have insurance. They’re gonna get their money back.” Atkins’ statement came after a chaotic night that saw 13 police officers injured, and $60-million worth of property damage. Chicago Black Lives Matter says they will continue to “rouse up” until the Chicago Police Department is abolished. -GEG
