Chicago: Went out to get some terrible fast food. Trucks everywhere on roadblocks. Didn't get any food because the entire place was being looted. White Castle was open; had city snow trucks guarding the entrance and letting cars in. I still have an out of state license, so I had to convince the cop I lived on my street. She took pity on me and let me pass. I'm glad they're blocking traffic though. It means the protesters need to be on foot. They're still out. This group just went down my street.
