Protesters in Chicago Block Store Entrances, Shut Down Traffic on Black Friday
CHICAGO (AP) — Hundreds of protesters blocked store entrances and shut down four lanes of traffic in Chicago’s ritziest shopping district on Black Friday to draw attention to the 2014 police killing of a black teenager who was shot 16 times by a white officer.
Demonstrators shrugged off a cold drizzling rain to turn the traditional start of the holiday shopping season on Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile into a high-profile platform from which to deliver their message: The killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was another example of what they say is the systemic disregard police show for the lives and rights of black people.
Idiots. Then they sit there with their fingers shoved up their butts wondering why all the businesses move, take away the jobs and there's more vacant buildings and more crime and poverty. Too stupid to figure it all out because they have never evolved into civilized human beings who can think things through. Their neighborhoods sink further and further into urban war zones and the only businesses that thrive are the ones selling security cameras and plywood to board up the vacant buildings.
They are not protesters they are trouble makers. It's tough to get your point across while you are pissing people off.
