River North is really bad. There were sirens and gunshots all night long. Almost every store and restaurant on Clark is looted. Binny’s is looted. Every bank is looted. The Whole Foods is looted. But there are also lots of people on the street cleaning and helping out. People with brooms and trash bags everywhere. It’s just sad all around.
I was at the protests yesterday. I feel disheartened by the sheer amount of ignorance and defensiveness I’m seeing online from my white peers.

P1 - part of a successful revolution is winning hearts and minds. Otherwise, you are only going to replace an unjust system of subjugation with another one where you have to keep it intact by force.
I live at the roosevelt station loft (lofts above the shopping store) . Every shop was looted. They started with jewelry shop first. Came in nice cars and filled them up! Wouldn’t consider silent protestor by any means and tbh really furious on what it turned out to be
Live at RCL too and those people definitely weren’t protestors, just greedy opportunists. Residents were yelling from balconies and some people even poured water on the looters to try and get them to go away but they had their fill till the cops arrived an hour later. Saddest part is that a couple of those stores are genuine small businesses.
I live in the Streeterville / River North area. It's quite bad... Lots of graffiti, smashed windows, and fire damage.
Agree with Bain. I live in river north and the Trader Joe’s and good coast Whole Foods were vandalized. Michigan ave is a looted mess and lots of stores being boarded up. Quartinos is closed and boarded. Lots of people outside....
Was the south loop trader joes looted?

Yep I’m near Roosevelt/Clark. Shit was hit HARD. Hearing gunshots and sirens throughout the night. Terrifying
Lake shore drives is closed and almost all the bridges are up.
