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."

Yeah i hope people who belittle genocide like you have to suffer it. The fact you think genocide is hilarious is why.

The fact that you think anyone is finding it hilarious is fucking weird bro

The guy I just responded to literally opened with "this is hilarious"....

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about trains.

He didn't say genocide was hilarious. More misattributions...keep shooting your cause in the foot. You are fighting for a good cause, but you are doing a bad job AND hitting potential allies as you also burn down the building we are all in.

Do better, be better, your cause deserves better.

Stop pretending like your criticism is anything but a defense of the indefensible. You're a privileged asshole that wants to tone police while people are dying. I don't care that I hurt your feelings
