IIRC the buzz was Rahm wanted to be mayor because the thought it would be his path to a 'higher office'.

Have you ever read the articles about murders every weekend?

I don't believe Chicago newspapers ever asked Rahm for a comment.

Maybe his friend Obama can stop the protest.

Oh, I see now, the murders on the south and west sides of Chicago are the fault of the rich on the north side. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

They were expecting thousands. This is a major fail.

Come up here, you can reach people untouched by violence. You got a lot of rich who’re people who, it’s not their problem. I guess you can make it their problem.

They're not causing the murder problem. It's thugs in the hood.

Obama retired due to term limits and is back to his home in Kenya. May visit his anti-Trump command center in DC or one of his dachas, of course.

He could try lying prone on the highway to dramatize the protest cause. Everyone would stop for him, of course, unless he was mistaken for a speed bump. Lots of those around, you know.

Likely because the Chicago Democratic machine wasn't organizing it.

If it's an anti-Trump rally they'll mobilize thousands.

Emanuel is going to pretend he knows nothing about this.
Eventually, someone is going to provoke him into a shrieking, cursing rage. That brittle mask of dignity will fall off and expose the real ‘thing’ underneath.

A Bus like the one in Mad Max & Thunderdome with Master Blaster driving needs to show up and clear a path. It wouldn’t happen again.

I wish, for once, these “protesters” would really impress me and block a set of railroad tracks. Blocking roads is for sissies.

The thugs invaded a lovely, quiet neighborhood, filled with people who have less than NOTHING whatsoever to do with the stupid, fatherless for generations now, miserable black thugs who rampage through their own neighborhoods killing each other.

Yep. 150 people in a city that size is nothing.

Should have protested outside the gay bath house. Better chance he’d hear it.

Too bad that highway traffic didn’t shut down the protest.

If you get my drift.

Yes, make it uncomfortable for rich white folks. They’ll continue moving out and there’ll be nobody to pay for all your social programs!!

*THIS* former Chicagoan took my six figure income and bailed on Chicago and Illinois, moved to another Midwest state, got a raise in take home pay from lower taxes, way less traffic, way, WAY better schools and a neighborhood my kid feels safe in.

SUCK IT, CHICAGO!!
