BLM on CHICAGO LOOTING: Movement ‘More Important Than Downtown Corporations’

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.12.20

The Chicago Chapter of ‘Black Lives Matter’ publicly defended looters this week after rioters robbed dozens of stores; saying the movement is “more important than downtown corporations.”

“In a predictable and unfortunate move, [Mayor Lori Lightfoot] did not take this time to criticize her officers for shooting yet another Black man. Lightfoot instead spent her time attacking ‘looters,'” the group said in a Monday statement. “The mayor clearly has not learned anything since May, and she would be wise to understand that the people will keep rising up until the CPD is abolished and our Black communities are fully invested in.”

“These corporations have ‘looted’ more from our communities than a few protesters ever could, yet the Mayor reserves her anger for the latter,” the Black Lives Matter chapter said.

“Over the past few months, too many people — disproportionately Black and Brown — have lost their jobs, lost their income, lost their homes, and lost their lives as the city has done nothing and the Chicago elite have profited,” the statement continued. “When protesters attack high-end retail stores that are owned by the wealthy and service the wealthy, that is not ‘our’ city and has never been meant for us. The mayor cannot expect people to play by her rules as she refuses to treat them with basic dignity. These protests can only end when the safety and wellbeing of our communities is finally prioritized.”

BACKLASH BUILDS: De Blasio in Hot-Water After Admitting City Skipped Permit Process to Paint BLM Murals

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.03.20

Big Apple Mayor Bill de Blasio is facing a growing backlash from furious residents in New York City Monday after the top Democrat admitted his administration skipped the permit process required to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ murals on city streets.

“City officials ignored their own application process for public art projects to paint Black Lives Matter murals around the five boroughs, in order to mark an important moment in history, Mayor de Blasio said as his administration faces claims of First Amendment violations for refusing to green light other proposals,” reports the New York Post.

“We haven’t said ‘no’ to people, we’ve said, ‘If you want to apply you can apply but there’s a process,’” de Blasio said during his City Hall press briefing Monday.

 

“That is something that again transcends all normal realities because we are at a moment of history when that had to be said and done, that’s a decision I made,” de Blasio said.

“But the normal process continues for anyone who wants to apply,” he added.
