I doubt it, the most prominent Confederate monument in Chicago is rather tame.
And I doubt most of those responsible for Chicago mayhem (great name for a band) know what a Confederate was.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Dozens of people were wounded in shootings across Chicago since Friday, police said.
One paramedic described the evening as "a war zone."
Since midnight, police said 42 people have been shot, five fatally. Since Friday at 5 p.m., 59 people have been shot, eight fatally, in shootings in Chicago.
34 of the shootings and five deaths occurred between 10 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, according to police. During one two-and-a-half hour-hour period, 25 people were shot in five multi-injury shootings.
"We know that some of these incidents were targeted and are related to gang conflicts in those areas," said Chicago Police Chief of Patrol Fred Waller at a press conference Sunday afternoon.
This comes just days after Superintendent Eddie Johnson visited ABC7 and talked about decreasing crime numbers and overall violence in Chicago.
"I think some of our more challenging, communities, it's just imperative that police and the community work together to reduce this gun violence," Superintendent Johnson said. "We just have too many guns on the streets of Chicago."
After an event announcing an expansion of the Riverwalk, Mayor Rahm Emanuel voiced the need to create more jobs, not just in the central business district, but on the South and West Sides as well.
"Wednesday we announced a number of businesses that are going to be part of the neighborhood opportunity fund that create the most important part of our neighborhood economy," Emanuel said. "We together have to work as a city....we have a challenge and it requires all of us. Not just our police officers."
CPD representatives said Sunday that they plan to focus their resources for the evening on neighborhoods where retaliation seems likely.

Probably need more “gun control” ... with more “gun control” they could have had 20 deaths out of 59 shot instead of 8 ... there is no pill for stupid!
We need more “peace” marches in Chicago - More publicity stunts by Father Faker and the other social program junkies looking for Federal funding. Faker still can’t account for $9 Million “lost” on his midnight basketball program. The shootings will continue...
I doubt it, the most prominent Confederate monument in Chicago is rather tame.
And I doubt most of those responsible for Chicago mayhem (great name for a band) know what a Confederate was.
And not a one had a valid hunting license.
“Oh, and also a law that says you can’t go around shooting people.”
More laws like this are very clearly needed. To liberals.
“I understand that the military is asking their active duty medical personnel to serve in a Chicago-area trauma center to learn to treat combat victims.”
They have done this for many years, especially in “peacetime”.
Virtually all of the victims go to County Hospital, and needless to say, not too many are insured. Even by Obamacare. Guess who pays.
59 shot, 8 dead. Good thing the idiots turn their guns sideways to shoot....“”
A lot of that is from the skills and experience of the medical staff at County. With that kind of practice they are rather good at patching up people.
“Obama’s birthday yesterday. I misunderestimated Yugely!“
Aren’t they supposed to shoot guns into the air for that?
Reebok is running a big ad campaign featuring female “singer/activists”, “athlete/changemakers”, “fashion model/political spokeswomen” who are working to bring “change”. Shouldn’t these brilliant trail blazers be able to fix this problem? What if they partner with Roger Goodell and the NFL players union to focus on “issues in our communities”? Shouldn’t that do the trick?
All black and will still vote democrap. Nothing to see here!
“And once again, since it is black on black murders, CNN does not notice”
Let alone Hollywood moron Anne Hathaway.
