Can Chicago protect the people going to the convention?
American Thinker ^ | 17 Apr, 2024 | 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. Here is the story:

At least 43 people were shot, seven of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.

ABC 7 reported Saturday began violently and ended that way as well.

At 6:30 a.m. Saturday, a 29-year-old man “in the Logan Square neighborhood’s 2600-block of North Sawyer Avenue” was shot and killed. Police do not know what led up to the shooting.

At 5:15 p.m. a 22-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds was found lying in the street “in the 7700 block of South Carpenter Street,” according to CBS News. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Within minutes of the 5:15 p.m. shooting, two men opened fire on a 20-year-old man “in the 7700 block of South Union Avenue.”

SNIP

Do you notice a trend here? 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.

I like those cow dung spreaders for crowd control, biodegradable stink bombs/pig urine, or pour a little diesel and hand out matches to people in cars.

If they want to keep their delegates safe, they should go to a red state.

I REALLY want to see the motorists drive over the protesters!

Think of ambulances carrying people in critical condition, people trying to get to work or worse, missing a plane because of this nonsense.

Chicago cannot protect the citizens of Chicago.

‘nuff said?

That's raisist and would destroy the dems (no bail, pro Hamas) narrative.

Everything will be fine, the good people of Chicago will welcome the delegates with open arms.

Long arms that is. I must admit this will be fun to watch.

Would be interesting; however, this is Chicago, the Convention is going to be held on the South Side, and many there are already VERY angry at Obama re his SHRINE to himself in the park there, the influx of ILLEGAL INVADERS, and crime. So THIS added disturbance isn't going to make them any less angry.

Throw in the incoming protesters, from other states, and this is going to be a VERY interesting T.V. show to watch, far, far, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR away from there.
