I remember when America had another Illinois Senator (Illinois Senate) - who then became a Senator from Illinois (U.S. Senate)

An Illinois state senator defended the Chicago "Teen Takeover" that unfolded Saturday night and left multiple boys shot, claiming it was simply "a mass protest against poverty and segregation."
Robert Peters, who represents parts of Chicago, responded to the chaotic scene that saw hundreds of local youth smashing car windows, jumping on surrounding vehicles, and firing guns in the streets.
Rather than condemn the chaos that left tourists running in fear, Peters suggested it was a "mass protest."
"Since I’m a glutton for punishment and I’m sure I’m gonna get the most unhinged, crime weirdo replies but: I would look at the behavior of young people as a political act and statement," Peters wrote in a Twitter post Sunday. "It’s a mass protest against poverty and segregation. Rest in peace to my mentions."

Global Warming strikes again!!

“It’s a mass protest against poverty and segregation.”

Just wait until the DNC convention hits that town.
Ah, so now I get it. It’s like Thoreau, Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King with protests for a higher purpose.
Uh, but what exactly was the purpose this time? Reparations for slavery? Or just people wanting to steal money and retail items as robbery.
From FBI history site on bank robber Willie Sutton asked why he robbed banks.
Sutton simply replied, “Because that’s where the money is.”
On February 15, 1933, Sutton attempted to rob the Corn Exchange Bank and Trust Company in Philadelphia, PA. Sutton, disguised as a mailman, entered the bank early in the morning. The curiosity of a passerby caused the robbery attempt to be abandoned.
However, on January 15, 1934 Sutton entered the same bank with two companions through a skylight. When the watchman arrived, they forced him to admit the employees as usual. Each employee was handcuffed and crowded into a small room.
(This time Sutton got the money and got away.))
Now there’s some weapons-grade stupid!
Now that's the way to protest! Even the French could learn a thing or two from that.
Exactly.
The poor white guys who mine the coal that generates the electricity that powers this loser’s house are probably the most marginalized people in this nation.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if a group of them were to to show at this two-bit loser’s house and cut off his electricity and throw a few bombs through his windows?.
It is way past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
Maybe Indiana should send those kids more armor piercing ammo.
Tracers too. They’ll really light yer azz up!
They were just looking for the ruby slippers in downtown Chicago.
Whenever I tell a leftist that Jan 6th was mostly peaceful they scream hey that’s different but when their dude does it it’s fine
The idiots will keep on believing lies and keep on voting Democrat.
I’m surprised “Global Warming” hasn’t shown up yet. Probably by this Summer.
Anything but admit to lawlessness. Anything but.
Even WalMart is giving up on Democrat-run disasters in several cities.
