FBI probes insect attack on Democratic breakfast in Chicago

www.usatoday.com

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.
- Breakfast with a side of bioterrorism, depending on the type of species.
- I doubt the maggots considered it a waste of food
- Probably cause some slight discomfort to genociders?
  Childish sure, but it’s a noble goal to harass and disrupt these scum anyway possible.
  
  Yes, this certainly will help the Palestinian cause. No question. All the deaths will stop tomorrow.
  
  More likely angry trumpets
  
  "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."
  They are DNC delegates, according to the article. You think they are scum and you call them genociders?
  
  yeah I somehow doubt that the people attending the DNC are the same people murdering innocent civilians in Palestine. There is quite a gap between "people not prioritizing pressuring the current administration as to their support of isreal" vs "people actively engaging in genocide."
  
  Go plant some 🌻🌻🌻 in front of Mar A Lago
Thank you, enemies of Harris! This will accomplish something or other!
- Yeah I'm not really stoked about the food safety implications and food waste for the rest of us if "bugs in food" protests become normal, but I still think that inconveniencing and antagonizing powerful people complicit in genocide is in general an acceptable form of protest. It accomplishes perpetual and fractal ("at all levels") discomfort for their actions as long as they continue them.
  
  Why are you assuming that this is about Palestine?
Oh shit, is this about Mike Pillow's diseased mustache falling off into the scrambled eggs at the buffet?
- How the fuck do you know????

Pro tip: block 2 trolls that can't see past their nose to have rational discussion in the thread.
What in the off-brand Rajneesh is going on here?

What a waste of food
Ok so was it tankies or MAGA?
- Brother I fucking wish Marxist-leninists were enough of a problem to create real life news. I might not be one, but they actually make a good foil for dem socialists.
- I'm guessing qanon brand crazies, Alex Jones types are constantly saying that the dems are trying to force everyone to eat bugs so I imagine it's related to that.
  
  Ok so MAGA
- By tankies do you just mean people against the Palestinian protesters... Yikes
  
  Per Urban Dictionary (NA, 2004): "A hardline Stalinist. A tankie is a member of a communist group or a "fellow traveller" (sympathiser) who believes fully in the political system of the Soviet Union and defends/defended the actions of the Soviet Union and other accredited states (China, Serbia, etc.) to the hilt, even in cases where other communists criticise their policies or actions. For instance, such a person favours overseas interventions by Soviet-style states, defends these regimes when they engage in human rights violations, and wishes to establish a similar system in other countries such as Britain and America.
  The term is used to distinguish the rare individuals with these kinds of beliefs from communists more broadly (including Communist Party members), whose adherence to Soviet doctrine and attachment to existing "socialist" states is somewhat weaker.
  It is always more-or-less abusive in the sense that those termed tankies do not use the term themselves, but it doesn't have any particular bite (unlike, say, Trot).
  The term derives from the fact that the divisions within the communist movement first arose when the Soviet Union sent tanks into communist Hungary in 1956, to crush an attempt to establish an alternative version of communism which was not embraced by the Russians. Most communists outside the eastern bloc opposed this action and criticised the Soviet Union. The "tankies" were those who said "send the tanks in".
  The epithet has stuck because tankies also supported "sending the tanks in" in cases such as Czechoslovakia 1968, Afghanistan 1979, Bosnia and Kosovo/a (in the case of the Serbian state), and so on (whereas the rest of the communist movement has gravitated towards anti-militarism). I wouldn't be surprised if the tankies even defend Saddam Hussein.
  Some of the people round George W Bush used to be left-wing, but they haven't really changed their views much; they were mostly tankies."
