I was watching Fox and they tried to say there were as many protesters as supporters, I knew they were lying.

Remember, the police supported and aided Hitler in his rise to power.

The police are NOT our friends, elected police officals yes.

...and that’s how they intend to motivate their base to vote.

Yes.

But just as a generation vowed we would never sgain allow our military to be spat upon in airports, we've vowed that should the Left attempt another 1968 we would not quietly consent.

I am willing to pay tariffs to repatriate manufacturing jobs all over America. Then the untermenschen can go back to work or starve. It would be their choice then.

The venom spewed by Hillary and Bernie serve as fuel to incite such protests. They get the lefty socialist commies fired up to challenge anyone that doesn’t accept their radical views. Democrats incite radicalism and they’ve done so for years.

Solid post.

Reminds me of 1968 when Nixon was running. The insane left continues to be insane

We are in for tough times.

““It honestly felt like a social event for the protesters. There was plenty of mingling.”

“Womdering who paid to ship them in”

Most social events I go to don’t involve bloody attacks on people because they disagree with you. I guess the terrorist left has a different view of what’s a good party than do I.

Personal security.

If you have seen one of these things blow up it is tough to have enough security to stop it. Even Chicagoan finest couldn’t contain it or wouldn’t

He may in future hire enough but you need a large number to combat these yobs

It is not as if they are polite and following directions

Exactly- there are two murders a day and many more wounded because Chicago cops just sit back and let it happen. They allow a huge threshold of violence

The left is trying very hard to turn the U.S. into Mexico or Afghanistan but by living off the hard working Americans. When the money runs out, then what? Arm up, people. It’s going to get a lot worse.

He would have needed hundreds.

Do you not remember Chicago 1968?

“You don’t suppose the Chicago police were ordered to be ineffective ?”

If they were TOLD to be effective, they would be effective.

But to quote Mayor Daley (the REAL Mayor Daley, not his worthless son),”The policeman isn’t there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.”

“Do you not remember Chicago 1968?”

Incredibly, I saw the “riot” (not much of a riot) from a block or two away at the age of 10 or so, driving back from visiting the Museum of Science and Industry with my grandfather. He decided not to take Lake Shore Drive home.

Agree to disagree....especially in corrupt cities like Chicago....it could very well be that the higher ups were complicit and gave a ‘stand down’ order and the cops hands were tied.
