I'm digging his photos. I had looked at them previously, but it's interesting to see them during covid. I find myself looking to see who is wearing a mask.

Ah yes those are a professional model in a photo class he took.

During the looting period, Alan's brother Dan's pawn shop was broken into and entirely looted by a team of 6 looters. The shop was a total loss, including the loss of valuable property for hundreds of people in the ghetto. There is video of the looters as they empty the store for 45 minutes, including at least two clear faces, but none have been caught. Looting is not covered by insurance.

Makes that Republican Trump fellow look like a wimp.

And the whole world was watching. Tens of thousands said so in unison on Chicago's streets.

Which is why what was known then still applies today. You cannot trust anyone over 82.

In Chicago, hundreds of thousands approved of that message. They stayed home and reelected him twice more with landslide victories of 40% and 51% margins respectively.

Black Lives Matter Holds Rally Supporting Individuals Arrested in Chicago Looting Monday

... “I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats,” Ariel Atkins, a BLM organizer, said. “That makes sure that person has clothes.” ...

..."That is reparations,” Atkins said. “Anything they wanted to take, they can take it because these businesses have insurance.” ...
