It happened during a night of widespread looting in Chicago, where Black Lives Matter antagonists later said they were collecting “reparations”. . . .

On August 9thChicago Police officers were dispatched to an armed man who was involved in a dispute.  As officers questioned him, the male took off on foot and began firing rounds at the officers who were chasing him.

Officers allegedly protected themselves by returning fire.

Someone took the information that officers had shot a black man and turned to social media to tell the world a lie, that officers had shot and killed a 15-year-old boy.

That lie helped spark a night filled with looting and vandalism, including the local Ronald McDonald House, which had sick children and parents inside.

The Ronald McDonald House is a program in which a place is provided to sick children and their families to stay while keeping them available for medical care.

This option is paid through donations which enables the ability for the families to be able to stay with their sick children without having to pay for a hotel.  . . .

These places should be safe and free from terror of any kind, especially the likes of which happens in the middle of a riot and looting scene.  However, on the 9th, the criminals did not seem to care that sick children were inside the charity and attacked it anyway in their fit of rage, in their ‘fight for reparations.’

These entitled criminals who believe they are owed everything destroyed or damaged many store fronts in the area.  They stole anything that was not bolted to the floor, and the worst out of all of it, they straight up terrorized the sick children and their families that were at the Ronald McDonald House.

ABC 11 News reported that Lisa Mitchell, who works for the Ronald McDonald House, said they were “very concerned there was a lot of activity right in front of the house, people making choices that could put them at risk and put our families at risk so the staff was frightened.”  . . .

After the dust had settled from the prior night riots, Black Lives Matter descended upon the Chicago Police Station what held some of the people arrested.

The group demanded the release of all of the criminals who had been arrested.  The organizer for the event, Ariel Atkins, told all who would listen that the events that happened the night prior were just black people taking the reparations owed to them.

According to NBC Chicago, Atkins said:

“I don’t care if somebody decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats.  That makes sure that that person has clothes. 

“That’s reparations.  That is reparations.  Anything they want to take, take it because these businesses have insurance.  They’re going to get their money back.  My people aren’t getting anything.” 

Atkins, unfortunately, is not alone in her entitlement syndrome.  This person actually believes that her “people” are incapable of getting anything through hard and honest work. . . .

For those poor sick children and their families to have to not only be dealing with whatever health crisis brought them to the Ronald McDonald House in the first place, they also had to deal with being terrified because some scum thinks they are owed something they are not.  That is completely and utterly awful.

REVELATION 2:16

THEREFORE REPENT. IF NOT, I WILL COME TO YOU SOON AND WAR AGAINST THEM WITH THE SWORD OF MY MOUTH.

Lord have mercy on our cities that are being infiltrated by lovers of hate, violence and chaos, people who are bent on purposely destroying and burning our communities down. Who has proven to have no regards or remorse for human life, authority, and property, they laugh and mock at that which is righteous and good. Dear Lord give us grace to endure to the end, give us even greater strength to continue to pray against this horrific demon driven group of instigators and rioters, who are terrifying countless innocent law abiding citizens. Lord we know that the head chief is Satan himself and we pray that these lost souls turn from there wicked ways and seek you while the sun is still shining, and do not wait until midnight have come upon them and the door has been shut for repentance. In Jesus Holy Name I Pray.

These terrorists should be locked up with no possibility of parole. We must stand against this evil. If prison doesn’t scare them then the Death penalty should be implemented in every state for this kind if crime against children

Let there be nationwide outcry for the threat of danger to the Ronald McDonald children and their families. Let this be where we as a nation draw the line and say in unison – no more. Enough is enough. Open the eyes of America Lord by exposing the evil of entitlement. Help us to join in prayer for righteousness to prevail with justice for the victims and judgement for promoters of evil. Reveal to the evil doers their error by unblinding the eyes of their hearts, to see and abhor their sins, to seek and receive mercy and forgiveness, and to honor and appreciate fulfilling work. Make Antifa and BLM lose all respect and credibility in America and globally, and cause all their funding sources to dry up. So be it in Jesus’ name.

In Jesus Name, Heavenly Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit open the eyes and ears of the looters to TRUTH that they may see and hear, and repent of their evil intents which threaten the lives and well being of anyone in their path. Lord, we are to pray for our enemies, and I rebuke in Jesus’ Name the spirits of anger and entitlement that drive anarchists and looters to justify their thoughts and actions. I pray they will repent of the violent acts and come to know the love and peace of the Triune God. Amen

this is complete insanity. Where do these people get off thinking they are owed or entitled to anything?

Lord open the eyes of these lawless people. They are blinded to everything but their own desires. Self is ruling which is against everything Your word teaches us.

Come Holy Spirit and hover over this land as You hovered over the waters of the earth in the beginning.

I ask for Your presence in the Ronald McDonald House to bring peace and healing emotionally and physically in the name of our Healer Jesus Christ. Amen
