          She's getting mega arrested as soon as the FBI / city detectives go through this footage. You hate to see it. They're going to be looking for people to crucify.

          Don't snitch.

          That means don't snitch on yourself too.

          Don't film this shit. Don't film people going in and out of buildings. Don't film people stealing shit. Don't film people trespassing. Walk around the neighbourhood and talk to people.

              It was on Woke earlier. It is no more sus than anything else on Twitch, but it has grown to such a level of popularity over the past couple months that you know without a doubt the pigs are watching it too.

            Also always wear clothes you've bought with actual cash (intelligence can trace credit/debit card payments), cover your fucking face and head almost completely (seriously with covid you have the perfect excuse) and make sure what you wear is plain (no words/patterns), and tie up your hair if it's long. Also if you're planning to wear a gas mask you need to shave around the areas the mask touches your face otherwise it won't seal and you'll still get gassed. Also if your goggles are not rated for ballistics, they will only help against gas attacks, not projectiles like rubber bullets.

    Got to love how this city has seen the absolute decay of the South and West sides over the past 50+ years, and people outside of those areas don't give a fuck and ignore it.

    R/Chicago: "Won't someone think of the retail stores?"

    Seriously though, I hope they loot and burn the loop to the ground. The loop is just a glorified urban playground for tourists, suburban fatcats and finance chuds who are way too wealthy for their own good.

      "Riots" throughout the night with looting at a place called "The Magnificent Mile." Over 100 arrested, two pigs hurt, and, at one point, protesters exchanged gunfire with cops.

      Edit: Magnificent not Miracle.

    The people who put up those little plywood boards over windows and doors must be making a killing this summer.

        I hate to do this to you, but prepare to be disappointed then because it seems we don't even make our wood here anymore lmao https://www.wbpionline.com/uploads/newsarticle/6908934/images/497879/large/indrustry-large3.jpg

          Well that is global. Perhaps the US only uses 6% of the global share of plywood, thus they do not import any more? Whereas China uses more of the share (which I am sure they do) while a whole bunch at the same time.

            I suppose that could be true. I can't claim to have much expertise in this area, I an extreme beginner in woodworking. I watched 3 or 4 yt videos about plywood a while ago, and I thought I remembered one of the guys mention that 3/4" plywood is almost always thinner than 3/4" because it is manufactured abroad (metric). I thought it would just be a funny comment to make but that chart came up when I searched to double check and it was too shocking to not post haha.

          Fuck, didn't know big plywood was a sinophobic dogwhistle lol. I'm not American I'm Swedish, but I was expecting us to have a larger market share too
