Hundreds mourn Ruth Bader Ginsburg at downtown vigil as Lightfoot declares ‘In the name of Ruth, I will fight’
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 9/19/2020 | Sam Kelly

The sense of loss was palpable Saturday night as hundreds came together in downtown Chicago to mourn the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — but so too was the spirit of perseverance.(snip)

Mayor Lori Lightfoot led the crowd of about 150 in a fist-raising chant, calling out, “In the name of Ruth, I will fight. In the name of Ruth, I will vote. And in the name of Ruth, we will win.”

Deborah Harris, executive director of the Chicago-based advocacy group Action Now, likewise urged the crowd to mobilize.

“Tonight the common thread has been that RBG held the line and she fought like hell,” Harris said. “This is not something that should be washed over. This is not the time for America to be timid.”(snip)

Members of the crowd were encouraged to hang personalized tags on a memorial that was erected between two trees in the plaza bearing the letters R.B.G.

Near the memorial, a sign was placed that seemed to capture the spirit of the night.

“Thank you RBG, we’ll take it from here,” it read.

I don’t think any of them give a damn about Ginsburg the person. She was just someone who guaranteed that the court would not tip against their agenda. The sick old lady should have retired long ago for her own good and the good of the country. She didn’t, and they cheered her on, because the agenda is more important.

What absolute self-loathing nitwits. It is somewhat pathetically entertaining to watch these damaged people. More popcorn.

Oh FFS, I’m so sick of all the hoopla surrounding the death of this dried-up old bitch. Even here in OK, reddest of the red states, the flags at all the banks, post offices, etc. are at half-staff. It’s like Jesus Christ was just re-crucified, not some worm-riddled mummy dying of cancer.

And now she’s “lying in state” like she was a world leader who saved Earth from WW III???

Hurry up and stick her in the ground. Let the worms and maggots have her. She’s already arrived at her eternal destination anyway. And unless she repented at the very last minute, I doubt she’s very happy there.

“Fight” for what?! Other people’s property? To loot, assault and destroy innocent peoples lives? The right to murder an unborn child into its 3rd term?

I would like to see her removed from power and put into prison for making people pledge their allegiance to the new world order.

"In the name of Ruth." Kind of disturbing to see these atheist leftists chanting this, considering the biblical Ruth was a pivotal figure, great-grandmother of David, has an Old Testament book named after her, and is even mentioned in Matthew.

“Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” - Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Eugenicist) 2009

Of course it couldn’t have been on behalf of God.

Hundreds? BFD. Nobody really cares about the deaths of Supreme Court Justices other than Presidents and other Supreme Court Justices.

The General public doesn’t even know who they are or where they stand.

America mourns the death of Ruth Buzzi more than Ginsberg’s and Ruth Buzzi is still ALIVE!

Leftist ding dongs are posting this graphic all over the internet, even using it for profile pictures. They should be careful what they wish for.

Lightfoot declares ‘In the name of Ruth, I will fight’

Fight what? Black on black murder rate in Chicongo? Fight staged hate crimes? Fight corrupt district attorneys?
