Ever since the police killing of George Floyd, there have been various protests all throughout the country. For the most part, these protests have been peaceful but as soon as the police show up, they tend to escalate things and it all gets out of hand. Not to mention, some people, who aren’t even engaging in the actual protests, are looting and vandalizing stores as a way to profit off of everything that is going on.
That is exactly what happened in Chicago last night as a strip mall located on 54th and Wentworth was completely looted. As you can see in the video below provided by a local CBS affiliate, a Foot Locker was broken into and it seems like nothing is left in the store. Many masked looters emerged from the store with boxes of shoes in their hands and made off with the merchandise.
The surrounding stores were also looted pretty heavily and you can see all of the carnage in front of the stores. These acts are certainly disturbing although you can’t help but feel like this anger has been building up for years.
Numerous stores throughout the country have experienced this same fate over the last few days and it remains to be seen what the fallout will be.
Stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring them to you.
