“But shoppers, tourists, and ordinary working Joes and Janes can no longer take for granted the freedom to walk around Chicago’s upscale shopping district along North Michigan Avenue”

Excellent! Anything to give Emanuel ulcers.

“The report is about how the police didn’t FORCE anyone to leave.”

CPD is basically standing down. I don’t blame them.

Seems like police are only there to protect the Democratic leadership. The citizens?
They are for taxes.

I’m sure those cops in your late ‘60s photo are WWII vets.

Chicago has CCL and Water Tower doesn’t have any “no guns” signs. I walked by there last week.

We own a condo 2 blocks from Watertower, trying to sell it and can’t. A once great city is now unsafe no matter where you are. Thanks Mr. Mayor.

Witnesses reported seeing teenagers and adults fighting at Chicago Avenue and State Street, prompting McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A to lock up.

I see Chicago values has indeed closed down a Chick-Fil-A

I’m not there, just own a condo there. We used to go there often but not any more. Want to buy a 2bd2ba condo?

Back in the 1968 Detroit riots, Michigan called out the state national guard from the Upper Peninsula, which included Nam vets. A car full of Detroit natives tried to break through a barricade. The grunt in the jeep opened fire with the .50 cal.

Two days later the rioting ended, and the Yoopers returned home.

When I see “mob violence” and Chicago in a headline I think Al Capone.
