This is not adversity.
I was pleased that Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced that what was happening downtown was NOT grief over the death of George Floyd, but criminal action, felonies, and she wanted the perpetrators prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Good for her! Do it!

The irony, of course, is that she was much more supportive of BLM so long as the rioters stayed in South Chicago. The same goes for shootings. The attitude seems to be “Let the gangbangers shoot each other in their own neighborhoods and save us the bother.” “Let people loot and destroy and burn there where they live, but not downtown.” I agree that it’s better for violent young men to shoot at each other than at me, far from my home, but it does seem ironic.
