Protesters aim to shut down Chicago's Magnificent Mile on Christmas Eve
Fox News ^ | December 24, 2015

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.

I was listening to Bretbart this morning on satellite radio. The reporter was saying that BLM is just the “tip of the iceberg” of an organization that started with bill ayers. Ayers furthered what he started by going to academia, then the Occupy Wall Street movement, and now BLM, etc. Very powerful. Smart savvy people behind the scenes.

I’d imagine that water cannons, fire hoses, and even water balloons would be quite effective this time of year in Chicago.

Since they’re afraid to arrest the negroes, if they arrested the paid white liberal protestors, there would hardly be any protestors left.

“I’d imagine that water cannons, fire hoses, and even water balloons would be quite effective this time of year in Chicago.”

Being a farmer part of my life; I know that spraying liquid hog manure would be very effective in certain situations.
Especially on protesters in winter.

They were fist clenching white AIRHEADS. My wish is that all of them one day, find themselves looking in the eyes of a black attacker who doesn’t give a hoot about smashing the shit out of their white face. Strong but honest, that’s all folks.

He promised to change America, and he has.

He has tried to kicked the legs out from under business, the police, banks, religion, schools, gun owners, the IRS... in short, anything that people once trusted and believed in (for better or worse) has been compromised and disrupted.

The goal is to replace it with something else, once they have all of us at war with each other. What 'something else' is remains to be seen.

Best thing you can do is be ready.

Take the costs out of the Obamaphone budget. Take the organizing communications away from the terrorists.

Obama is behind all of this in order to degrade the nation he despises. He despises this country, because he is an insane, self-hating individual.

High-pressure hoses with capsaicin should clean the excrement off the streets.
