Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”

    The problem is that without attaching an actual message to the action, it’s just an attack. It doesn’t convey anything, doesn’t further any agenda.

      Agreed.

      Hence why I’m expressing my schadenfreude that it happened at all, rather than saying “yeah this is a perfect protest by perfect people who are definitely 100% confirmed doing this for perfect reasons that I perfectly agree with”.

      In fact, I said as much in the comment you replied to:

      Frankly, if it ends up being a Republican or non-political attack, I’m still cool with seeing the ruling class squirm even if it’s done by assholes for the wrong reasons.

      I’m not operating under the pretense that it is necessarily revolutionary action. I’m simply expressing my frustration at Democrat ghouls and laughing at their misery because they give us nothing else in return for our submission.
