This is key. Ronald McDonald houses are where very sick children go – sometimes receiving potentially life saving chemotherapy for cancer, always sickening, sometimes painful – to be able to be with their families while being treated. It’s a good and wonderful thing for both the children and parents.
This news comes to us from the hellhole of Chicago.
The Ronald McDonald House in Chicago was vandalized during looting early Monday morning while families and their sick children huddled inside, the charity said Tuesday.
The Ronald McDonald House in the Streeterville neighborhood of the city’s Near North Side provides support for sick children and their families while the child receives medical treatment at nearby Lurie Children’s Hospital.
The charity said more than 30 families and their sick children were sleeping inside when the looters, who had taken over downtown, ransacking stores and vandalizing properties, started attacking the building.
“[We 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,” Lisa Mitchell, of Ronald McDonald House Charities, told ABC 7 Chicago.
“They are already in a really, really difficult spot,” she said of the families. “Having this kind of additional stress and worry about getting to and from the hospital even though we are five blocks away because of safety concerns is just doubling the strain.”
The building was placed on lockdown during the commotion, CBS Chicago reported. Several windows on the front of the building were smashed, and the front door had to be boarded up. No damage was caused to the inside of the house and no one was injured.
The author at Legal Insurrection, Kemberlee Kaye, writes “We have such big love for the Ronald McDonald House. When Baby Walt was hospitalized, the Ronald McDonald house was there for us. They provided encouragement, kindness, and accommodations, allowing us to spend the night on the same floor as our baby. We often opted to head home as we lived close and their rooms were almost always full (we thought it better to leave rooms for out of town parents), but on nights there was availability, we stayed. It was a tremendous comfort to be able to walk down the hall and see our baby at any point in the night instead of being at home with his empty bed.
Attacking a Ronald McDonald House is truly unconscionable.”
It’s because their conscience has been seared as Paul discusses in Romans Chapter 1. The ridiculous thing is that if the police and politicians would stand back and let the unorganized militia tackle this problem, Antifa and BLM riots would be finished within a week, never to return.
But the pols are on the side of Antifa and BLM, and the rest of America doesn’t have the stomach for what must be done. Not yet, it doesn’t.
The people of Antifa and BLM are awful, horrible, terrible, loathsome, abhorrent, dreadful people, each and every one of them. I’ll say the same thing to them as I do to cops who let tyranny go on under their watch because of the “thin blue line.”
If there are BLM protesters who wouldn’t do such things, that’s too bad. They are associated with people who do, and that goes down to their shame. God will judge them for not just the violence, but their associations as well. These rioters should have been shot dead for potential threat to peaceable men, women, and sick children. They are doing Lucifer’s work. If the pols won’t let the police do it, they should take a step back and let the militia do it. Thus the communist revolution would end.
