FBI probes insect attack on Democratic breakfast in Chicago

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.”

What an atrocious waste of food. And what exactly was this supposed to accomplish? What did their best case scenario look like?

It’s simpler than what you’re even asking.

These people are just childish and petty. I speculate their only goal was as-is, put bugs in democrats food. Something immature adolescents might do. Yet these are adults.

That’s my guess.

Probably cause some slight discomfort to genociders?

Childish sure, but it’s a noble goal to harass and disrupt these scum anyway possible.

They are DNC delegates, according to the article. You think they are scum and you call them genociders?

Do I think the DNC are scum who silence Palestinians and support Israel like nearly everyone else in US politics does?

Yes.

Huh, I suppose if you do support Palestine, you can’t be a DNC delegate?

You can be a delegate, you will just be refused the option to speak.

Or as AOC put it “The @DNC must change course and affirm our shared humanity.”

Of course not, you simply shouldn’t be a DNC delegate if you support Palestine. Because they’ll point at these delegates and use them as props to say “see, we’re listening to Palestinians” while not changing course.

These are not ordinary voters, these are sometimes local politicians but competing to run the same machine as their more successful national counterparts. These individuals have some degree of power and influence, and they’re choosing to use it for the American Empire.

Zero pity for these turbo-losers getting bugs in their food. Admittedly, making “putting bugs in food” a popular protest tactic doesn’t set a great precedent considering the food safety implications for everyone else, but food safety concerns are NOTHING compared to what Palestinians are suffering at the delegates’ party’s hands.

Last month, maggots and other insects were reportedly released at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC, during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Chicago has seen nightly protests during the convention by organizations seeking an end to the Gaza war and an end to U.S. military support for Israel.

Doesn’t sound like it to me.

Hmm. Well, if no one takes credit for it, it’s just going to be forgotten.

What do Wikipedia editors think about MBFC?

I got as far as reading that the BBC often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes, that China Daily [the official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party] is the most credible media source and that Most content on Wikipedia is well sourced with minimal bias before deciding I wouldn’t trust this site in the slightest. I totally oppose this proposal or any variant of it.
