If it were white nationalists rioting the left wing governors and mayors would have quickly cracked down on them in their cities.
The politicans are not cracking down because they support the BLM movement, which is communist just as they secretly are communists.
Your evidence for them being communists secretly? When you think you know something is true "secretly," it could be a waste of my time trying to talk you into considering the evidence.
By the way, the "looting" sign showed up because the Chicago police had arrested looters. Mayor Lightfoot correctly said there is a difference between protesting and looting. Some of the looters were well organized, with rental trucks to fill with merchandise. They had special cutters to help get in. And they started moving into the shopping area at the same time, late at night when they knew there would be fewer police. It was a planned robbery scheme. When the looters got released from jail, the woman from BLM was there with the sign showing support for the looting.
One problem perhaps with the legal system in Chicago (and one elsewhere as well) is how long it takes to get someone put on trial. There had been looters arrested much earlier as well. They were either let out on bail or released on their own recognizance. They hadn't gone to trial yet; and someone started the rumor that Chicago wasn't going to prosecute people for looting.
Mayor Lightfoot (a Democrat and black) sent the message to looters, "We are coming for you."
Overnight Restrictions to Continue Downtown ‘for Foreseeable Future,' Mayor Says
Restricted access and an increased police presence will continue in downtown Chicago "for the foreseeable future," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Tuesday.
"There are going to be similar restrictions and our resources deployed as last night, and we're going to keep those in place for the foreseeable future," Lightfoot said.
The city's mayor said while there were "some attempts at looting," the city did not receive reports of "any widespread problems" similar to those that damaged stores across multiple neighborhoods and resulted in the arrests of more than 100 people. She also noted that from 6 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday, there was one shooting reported citywide.
"So we're certainly not applauding ourselves, taking a victory lap," Lightfoot said. "But we feel comfortable that the plan that was put in place with a comprehensive effort, obviously led by CPD, worked last night. We're going to remain diligent."
The overnight restrictions included shutting down part of Lake Shore Drive, blocking several expressway ramps, lifting bridges and rerouting rail service for parts of the city. Only those who can prove they live or work in the area will be able to access the restricted areas.
It looks to me (my opinion) that the BLM woman with the sign showing support for looting would like to see race riots break out. I can't prove that, but she was also talking about how breaking into those stores were "reparations." She gave me the impression she saw the looters as black looting white businesses. Why would she want black people to loot white businesses unless she wanted race riots?
Mayor Lightfoot doesn't think like that, not at all.
