Ah yes, anti-black Chicago, where 2/3 of the residents are non-white.https://t.co/vRu2mBsd4J

Reminder Brandon Johnson thought Looting was ok because the Businesses have insurance . Hear it for yourself in the video below . So in other words in a Chicago with Brandon Johnson in charge looting would be okay and more
Businesses would simply just leave causing economy… https://t.co/M6UhQcBLR1 pic.twitter.com/V2MKvkUZlT
