Mrs. O’Leary’s cow was a member of both Antifa and BLM.

It may have been an asteroid swarm. A town near Chicago was burnt during the same time. Or maybe a cluster of comet sections.

I thought you meant today. They might as well burn it down, so many murders there every day, so much crime.
I say this with regret. I grew up in a very nice suburb and loved going to Chicago. Beautiful and safe when I lived there. As kids we were always aware of Mrs. O’Leary and her cow.

Mayor Lightfoot is the reincarnation of Mrs O’Leary’s cow except she thinks she’s a bull..
