Disturbing footage has emerged from a Chicago May Day demonstration on Friday where left wing groups and antifa converged to protest in the streets outside a non-profit organization.
A video shows incendiary devices that appear to be flares being set off by protestors. One flare is set off and lands inches away from a young child. The mother can be seen dragging her daughter away from the lit flare a couple of feet and continues participating in the protest.
Antifa & left-wing protesters in Chicago targeted Heartland Alliance, a nonprofit that houses migrant & unaccompanied minors. Masked protesters scaled facility & threw incendiary devices.

The May Day protest focused on the Chicago location of Heartland Alliance, an organization that describes itself as "one of the world's leading anti-poverty organizations focused on ending poverty through housing, healthcare, jobs and justice."
Left-wing groups have targeted Heartland, calling it a "prison" and demanding the release of children after there were recent positive COVID-19 tests at shelters run by the organization.
According to WGN, "One protester got on the roof of the migrant children’s shelter. Police attempted to bring him down with a fire truck ladder. He grabbed hold of the ladder and officers tackled him to the ground."
Police broke up the protest around 6pm on Friday.
