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."

This exact action? It might make things worse for leftists on the ground at the DNC since now the FBI is involved 😳.

So honestly good point, but IMO reflecting an infinitesimally small fraction of the violence that they inflict upon Palestine (and all life on Earth) forces the ruling class to deal with actual consequences for their actions.

Without any kind of message this is just revenge

Quoting my reply to someone else:

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.

Or:

Emphasis on the second clause.
