‘[snip] the Police’: First Wave of Anti-NATO Protests Hit Chicago
The Blaze ^ | May 17, 2012 | Mytheos Holt

Chicago isn’t exactly a hotbed of homespun America and apple pie motivated sentiment.
But apparently even the residents of Chicago have limits regarding what they’ll tolerate in their neighborhood.
And one of those limits is, apparently, anarchist and communist protesters.

Today marks a moment when radical Leftist anti-NATO demonstrations in the city, affiliated with “Occupy NATO,” are hitting their stride.
And as with all Leftist demonstrations, black bloc tactics are involved.
To that end, a group of masked thugs from the protests went to the trouble of taking over Chicago’s Halsted Street, even going so far as laying down in front of a police station.

It’s not going to matter. The more they “Act Up” the better. Barack is goin’ down, going down hard, and apparently Romney is going to get his chance. This will be a slightly bigger “turnaround” than the Olympics, but I expect that will be the mentality he will employ, and honestly it’s not a bad one.

There will be no riots. All the blacks except the evil fringe know Barack has got to go. They may even still vote for him, but they know he’s got to go. There will be no riots.

That's my song for the BATF, and I don't even like rap.

I also can't stand these anarchist punk ass spoiled white punks.

Not Nickleback but a mix of Chinese Opera & Scottish bagpipes deliberately played while out of tune. Not sure if it would be Cruel & Unusual Punishment .

Those hardhats (i remember the time very well)were born in the 40’s and 50’s for the most part. a very different generation of people. Country first. Now it’s union first.

"Want to buy a bridge?"

Ha ha - had to laugh at the bridge comment, but yeah I see your point. Cops at the Tea Party rallys I've been to have been very pleasant, but I wasn't in the inner-city either.

I just think in general they dislike folks who make their jobs tougher & drive them out of the doughnut shop.

I agree they might be inclined to side with Tea Party people but i’d never make the mistake and think they would not follow orders against the Tea Party people. They will defend their own first.

WTF !

Second City Cop uses blogspot to deliver its content, and is still about 1,000% more truthful and 'newsworthy' than any of the alphabet lying machines.

But SCC was linked as a secondary source in this thread.

How is The Blaze any less a source than Drudge or FR or whatever ? ? ?

I guess after a few of the cops and/or anarchist maggots are killed this weekend it'll be 'worthy' of Breaking huh ?

pfffft !

The cops aren't going to worry about us...

You are correct, but it won't be the cops; it will be Homeland Security. We are a threat to the regime, you know!
