“Peaceful” Black Lives Matter activists attacked Christmas late Wednesday in Chicago, and even turned on Trump Tower.
Taking to the streets for the second night following the release of a dash-cam video of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, the protesters were not in much of a holiday spirit.
So they attacked the city of Chicago’s official Christmas tree — a tree lighting ceremony had just taken place on Tuesday.

After police dispersed the unruly crowd , the protesters then set their sights on nearby Trump Tower.
Obama’s media excuses him from ‘ridiculous’ American
tradition of pardoning a turkey; it’s beneath him?
Presumably because Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is… well, a Republican.
Chanting “F**k Trump,” the Black Lives Matter protesters started ripping Christmas ornaments off of the building. Guards can be seen in video footage blocking the doors to prevent the mob from entering the building.

The reaction on social media shows that — as usual — the Black Lives Matter movement does more harm than good for its cause. Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

@ElizabethFox32 They’re called rioters not protesters. — Kayla (@JawsofLife89) November 26, 2015
@ElizabethFox32 @GraciasDarling Nothing says “we want justice” like taking apart the community Christmas tree. — Niko (@NikoTheFarmer) November 26, 2015
@ElizabethFox32 @billpostmus Those racist lights! — Craig Daliessio (@craigdaliessio) November 26, 2015
. @WGNErik @WGNNews And how does this help? What a shame. It’s never a “peaceful” protest. SMH.

@kathychaney Pretty sad. That hate directed to Don does not help their cause.

@kathychaney Yeah, like there’s any legitimate reason for blacks to hate Trump. Misplaced hatred much? Idiots.
