Demonstrators in Chicago vowed to block shoppers from the city's world-famous Magnificent Mile Thursday to protest police shootings, one day after activists in Minnesota stormed the Mall of America and the Minneapolis airport.
Organizers in Chicago are hoping the Christmas Eve demonstration will be a repeat of another Michigan Avenue demonstration in which a few hundred people disrupted shopping there on Black Friday.
A group calling itself The Coalition for a New Chicago says the march will begin a noon at the south end of the Magnificent Mile shopping district and move north. The area is one of the largest shopping attractions in the Midwest and hosts many high-end stores and hotels.

Actually, it's just the Rev. Jesse working on his Christmas bonus!
Couldn’t help but notice that most of the BLM “protestors” yesterday were fist clenching white people.
if they think for a nanosecond they will get rahm to resign they are delusional
Let them have at it.
Actually, neither Al nor Jesse is a “Rev.” anymore than I am. Al was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuate the lie ever since.
As to the demonstration, just like most of the stuff BLM has done, this demo was poorly thought out. How many people do you think will be driving to downtown Chicago on Christmas eve?
Idiots.
Joe Friday: "This is the city. Chicago, Illinois. I work here... I'm a cop. It was Christmas Eve 2015. It was cold and windy in Chicago. We were working BLM bunko..."
When the history of the past century is finally put into perspective, it will be seen that the greatest victims of the era were those whom the Left pretended to be benefiting.
No one but scoundrels and demagogues benefits from Egalitarian Collectivism!
The Chickens got to roost at home some time. They should take the costs out of the exorbitant social programs, but that might scatter the chickens.
Chicago, huh? Oh, the hypocrisy!
50% in our large metropolitan areas, 10% everywhere else...
If every car & truck driver ran them down......
Someone please explain what protesting a black kid being shot has to do with disrupting last minute shoppers. Now, if it’s so they can loot for their last minute gifts, then that’s totally understandable.
The Black Lawlessness Movement (BLM) strikes again.
I see it as a good thing. People need their lives disrupted. And then they will come to realize that the people doing this belong in cages with other liberals. Eventually, once their lives are disrupted enough, they will implement the idea. Pain teaches.
Not the lesson BLM was intending but it’s the one they are teaching.
I need to move to Texas.
Good point.
The way Is see it, complicity is how things got to this point. People just want to be left alone and I understand that. But so do liberals. They understand that they have the run of the table because of it.
Now things are beyond simple fixes by ‘someone else’. And people are going to be forced to directly and personally deal with this nonsense. Because liberal violence is already happening. And liberals will never stop until forced to. History is clear on that.
Where’s the old Chicago Police Department tactic used during the Democrat Convention in ‘68? Crack skulls and ask questions later.....no one should complain if they’re mostly stupid, white privileged kids on an erroneous guilt trip getting pummeled by the thin blue line....those were the days....
Taze and Drag to the nearest jail.
Chiraq better get a handle on this. My wife wanted us to travel from Michigan to downtown Chiraq to Christmas shop. After seeing “bodies” lined up in front of Water Tower Place we decided to spend our money in Traverse City instead.
