Demonstrators plan to meet around 11:30 a.m. Monday before marching onto the Kennedy. The goal is to block both inbound and outbound traffic.
several reasons: the lack of education and economic opportunities on the South and West Sides; to end the violence that grips those same neighborhoods; and to demand the departure of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson.

Old trucks moving fast, no brakes.
Maybe the Democrats need another eighty years or so of running Chicago in order to get things right, correct?
Damage to jet intakes if they get on the ramp. Guess all the cops from ‘68 are retired or dead by now.
“several reasons: the lack of education and economic opportunities on the South and West Sides; to end the violence that grips those same neighborhoods; and to demand the departure of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson.”
The airport and its travelers caused these problems?
To stop those aircraft at O’Hare move the demonstration out onto the runway and stand in front of the engines.
The railroads used to use a jet engine mounted on a flatbed to clear snow from the tracks.
The truck mount would be ideal.
“The airport and its travelers caused these problems?”
You bring up a very good point.
It seems everyone from Occupy Wall Street to these malcontents always blame the wrong people; they have such antipathy for everyone but the real culprits (which often times is themselves!).
Apply the Ferguson rally cry, “ Burn the MF down!”
I don’t even change planes in leftist states anymore. Fly direct to only red states.
I wonder where on the Kennedy...construction going on at Cumberland near the airport... It will be choked worse than Mama Cass.
They don’t dare do it on the Dan Ryan - as its nickname is “Death” Ryan.
It’s the thugs they should be protesting.
The little bands of goons who terrorize teachers and rob businesses blind.
There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Edmund Burke 1769
Protesters to shut down O’Hare airport. The reason is to declare the right to ROB other people of their money.
The RIGHT TO ROB is a human rights issue.
“They don’t dare do it on the Dan Ryan - as its nickname is “Death” Ryan.”
They did do it on the Dan Ryan a month or two ago. At night and sometimes daytime it is human frogger with firearms.

Anything that aggravates Emanuel’s ulcers is okay with me.
If anything gets burned down it’ll be the black neighborhoods. In fact, or at least it seems to me, that it was a relative few angry black people burning down their own neighborhoods that really set off the the current decay. But instead of decisively turning against the angry radicals as they ought to have done the larger black community seems to be either afraid or even sympathetic.

They claim a lack of "educational and job opportunities", yet they put themselves behind that 8-ball by cutting classes and disrupting the ones they did attend. I cannot believe that Chicago minority students are any different from NYC minority students. In NYC, 99% of the time, the first students to act out in a class are minority. That is a fact, not bigotry. Other students come to class to learn, the minority kids mostly come to disrupt the class to amuse themselves. Of course, there are some minority students who earnestly want to learn, and my heart always went out to those kids. They were being handicapped by their brethren who were more interested in getting something for nothing. So, the minority troublemakers robbed themselves and others of a decent education, which naturally led to a lack of job opportunities. You can't expect to get much of a job as a high school dropout in most cases.
So I am utterly unimpressed with those complaints and subsequent marches claiming a lack of educational and job opportunities. You did it to yourselves. It's way past time for you to accept that responsibility.
Good luck with that. Monday is the day most business people fly out. They are in a big hurry, and they don’t have time, nor the mood, to fiddle (monkey) around with this nonsense.
~85% of O’hare employees are black; if they decided to stage a revolt, things would grind to a halt, but I don’t think they’d go with it; some of them are surly, but most are just trying to do their jobs.
