Can Chicago protect the people going to the convention? By Silvio Canto, Jr.

As we saw this week, the mob closed O'Hare Airport and travelers had to get out of their cars or miss their flights. Was this a "test run" for the convention? Probably so. Add Midway Airport plus local freeways and moving around the city will be a nightmare. Add to this the shooting, and who in the world wants to go to the convention? The convention hall is going to look like a fortress, and who knows what will break out on the floor? The Squad will be there and that's a formula for madness.

My point is that this is a city out of control. Over the weekend, they shot 43 and chaos reigned again.

The Windy City is out of control and the mayor is blaming guns, racism, or Trump. He never blames the criminals or let the police do their work.

Therefore, I would not be shocked if the Democrats decide that Chicago is unsafe to bring in thousands of delegates. Honestly, it is.

Because it is a conspiracy of pirates posing as communists. RINOs are safe because they don’t want much except a little taste for their complicity. The dems are at each others throats for a bigger share of the power and the loot.

The Demonicrat Convention deserves to be held in Chicago, preferably without any security guards.

Mayor Daley and his boys were old line Democrats, the kind who hardly exist anymore ,the kind who still believed in Law and Order.

Why should anyone worry about Dems having the opportunity to face the consequences of their policies?

Chicago police are not going to risk life, limb and pension to defend “defund the police” Democratic politicos. Pritzker will be forced to call out the national guard. The image of a Democratic convention surrounded by armed troops, riotous protests and burning vehicles will create quite an impression on the country.

With reference to the saying that “a liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet” I sincerely hope that there are many, many converts made during the convention.

The FBI will have literally THOUSANDS of its agents spread out among the protestors. They have many agents inside these groups.

FBI have all the tools of inside-agents, media control, political manipulation and social-media and telecom controls

So they are well-practiced at both crowd-incitement, as well as crowd control.
