Sick kids and their families cowered in fear inside a Chicago Ronald McDonald House as looters smashed the front door while trying to get inside this week, according to staff.

The charity says more than 30 families, as well as some sick children with them, were left “frightened” by those who smashed windows as they ransacked the Windy City during Monday’s chaotic crime spree.

“[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,” Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Lisa Mitchell told ABC7.

The attacked site houses families so they and their children can be close to Lurie Children’s Hospital, which should be an easy and safe trip just five blocks away.

“They are already in a really, really difficult spot, and having this kind of additional stress and worry about getting to and from the hospital … because of safety concerns is just doubling the strain,” Mitchell said.

Several windows were smashed and the front door had to be boarded up, but nobody was injured, the charity said.

Mitchell told CBS Chicago that it was vital that families “get the rest they need while they have a child in the hospital seeking care.”

“So it’s so important that anything that might be going on outside, we maintain our care for families,” she stressed.


Chicago locals fight off protesters and shut down BLM rally to prevent looting
At least 13 cops were injured in violent clashes with looters, with 100 arrests. It started amid reports that a teen had been shot by cops, although police later said it was a 20-year-old man who had first fired at officers as he fled arrest.

Ariel Atkins, a Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer, cheered the looting, calling it a “reparation.”

This comment shows what the BLM and riots are all about.

Whatever happened to the "YOU LOOT WE SHOOT" signs that were around in various natural disasters of the past? Like after hurricane Katrina and during the Rodney King riots. That stuff ain't looting, anyway....... It's a terrorist attack on innocent people and should be dealt with as such.

Nah. The demographic of the looters allows for a perpetual get out of jail free card. Nothing to see here.

You guys misunderstand. This whole thing was a misunderstanding. Someone who could read enough to read "Ronald McDonald" tried to order some food from the staff, and it didn't work out, then there were claims of racism, then rioting.

Dude, don’t discriminate by picking one. Buckshot is an equal opportunity hammer.

I used to think about what we could do to solve racial inequality. Now I think of what we could do to get rid of them. Constitutional amendments can be repealed, you know.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I saw the title and first thought,

I hope that the McDonald house doesn't forbid weapons upon entry. Only the parents who are in charge of their children's safety would heed the sign and leave them behind unfortunately.

Then after reading the article, I see that it's Chicago.
The parents who dare to disobey City authority by having the means to protect the innocent would be imprisoned in rape rooms for many years, leaving their families with no protection, nor provisions.
This reminds me that there's accomplices that aid and abet the street criminals.....

Note that she doesn't enforce this on rioters not social distancing.
