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."

What an atrocious waste of food. And what exactly was this supposed to accomplish? What did their best case scenario look like?

It's simpler than what you're even asking.

These people are just childish and petty. I speculate their only goal was as-is, put bugs in democrats food. Something immature adolescents might do. Yet these are adults.

That's my guess.

Pro tip: block 2 trolls that can't see past their nose to have rational discussion in the thread.
