As a former Chicago resident, I'll say this is one of the least bad places they could do it. The Dan Ryan runs from the far south side to the loop and is mostly isolated, making it hard for the rioters to get up into any business or residential districts where they would do real damage. Also advance notice of their roving riot will keep most innocent people out of the way. Not nearly as bad as what they did on the Magnificent Mile.

“shut down the Dan Ryan Expressway”
&
“protect the rights of those seeking to peacefully protest”

Spinach.

You don’t think the goal here is to pull frightened drivers out of their cars and ‘loot’ them?

That’s an attention getter... which is what this is about...

Commies behind the useful idiots doing these protests want death and mayhem... maybe a few dead children?

It’s not a protest if you’re blocking traffic.

It’s a riot.

If they want to do a single march that happens to obstruct some traffic for a limited period, that’s one thing. It’s when the purpose of such activities becomes intermittent obstruction over the long term that there is a problem.

They could walk on the CTA tracks and dodge trains and the third rail...

Hopefully they will succeed in pissing off commuters from Englewood and manage to get some of their sorry asses run over or shot.

Been there a few times. It is mostly elevated, as I recall, not easy for pedestrians to get on or off of. I guess the idea is to stop traffic and instigate some kinds of trouble. Why else do it there?

The only way to stop these riots is to terminate housing, food stamp, and other federal benefits, as well as force the wireless companies to terminate cell phone service of the rioters.

Blocking a highway and holding motorists against their will is NOT peaceful

“CHICAGO — Demonstrators are planning to shut down the Dan Ryan Expressway on Saturday to protest police brutality”

And they will kill anyone that opposes them just to prove their point.

This might be a good time for the Illinois Tollway Authority to pick-up all the debris that has been lying on the shoulders for years.
