Chicago = Chi-Congo.
In Detroit the locals will shoot back.
Win Win all around.
Illinois....Home of Linked-con.

Sorry, don’t know what linked-con means.
What do you call a Chicago building full of Obama Supporters?
Cook County Jail
I guess Chicago doesn’t have a “stand your ground law” and are forcing these folks to retreat in advance of any self-defence needs.
Play on Lincoln.
They are free to stay, but they may not be able to leave. If it was my place, I'd stay for the weekend.
Turn Soldier Field in to a giant holding cell.
I heard that ironically, bernadette dorn lives in that building.
I wonder if there’s supposed to be a subtext to this: “Make sure to vote for 0bama in November - be a real shame if there was another riot, knowhatimean?”
Maybe Chicago needs a color coded riot threat level warning system, you know, like code yellow, carry a weapon, code orange, don’t go outside, code red, run for the hills because NATO is coming, NATO is coming!
It works so well for air pollution and all, I’d think the progressive leadership of the city would jump right on it. Think of the fines and fees, the power to jerk people around, it would be a municipal bureaucrat’s dream.

Oh, okay.
Hopefully the middle class in the city will realize that Mao was not really all that cool.
Even if there are no riots, like the G8 event in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago, holding this kind of event in a working city with the kind of security that these vips demand is the height of inconsideration.
It basically shut down Downtown Pittsburgh for 3 days, grinding commerce to a halt, and making life very difficult just for those who had business anywhere near town or had to use public transport.
Why can’t they hold this kind of craziness in Washington DC or New York where the security infrastructure is already in place? Or better yet, just fly these foreign dignitaries into a military base out in the Nevada desert or the Alaskan tundra where their security can be assured, and only the heartiest protesters will be out in the desert or permafrost with their signs.
That was my first thought too...how convenient for local burglars to know when everyone will vacant their condos for three or four days.
