River North Looting Round 2



Could say many things about these looting experiences.  But will leave it at I am very sad for my city.  Will say the folks getting arrested at 7 am outside the Nordstrom's (see the photo with the escalator) still trying to loot indicates pretty severe stupidity but then of course the judgment exhibited by all concerned is lacking.  Things were quiet last night (as they should be on a Sunday night especially with thunderstorms passing through), then at 1 am or so the looting caravans showed up and went straight through until 5 am.  The bottom photo from our balcony was taken at 4:23 am, all those cars were looters having a final go at the retail shops in on the ground floor of our building.  The photo above with the broken window is one of the stores in our building.  The top photo is the coffee shop across the street as the looters did their looting.  The middle photo above was also from our balcony when a police was hit with a bottle I believe.  The guy with the bottle of Johnnie Black down below was really starting to run out of gas by 6 am when I took the photo.  ATMs are sturdy machines, the one in the photo was from Walgreens.  Final note whatever the freaking strategy is of the authorities, they need to revise it as it is not working (and I hear all kinds of rumors most of which make no sense to me hence my lack of comment on the performance of the authorities).
