The joy is overwhelming. And nothing says joy like riots. Joyous mostly peaceful riots that require lots of plywood.
Businesses in downtown Chicago have started boarding up their doors and windows ahead of next week’s Democratic National Convention, when thousands of anti-Israeli protesters are expected to descend on the Windy City.
Boarded up windows and doors could be seen downtown Thursday
“As we know, this city has a poor track record when it comes to protecting businesses,” said Scott Shapiro, owner of Syd Jerome.
The looming unknowns ahead of next week’s convention are why Shapiro said he knew he had to take precautions to keep his decades-old business safe.
“We felt it was more prudent to board up, since our customers and their employers have told them to stay home throughout the convention for their own safety,” Shapiro said.
Other downtown businesses are also taking precautions, like the Garland Building on North Wabash Avenue and Washington Street, which houses multiple office spaces, stores and restaurants. Chicago Board-Up Services has been quite busy.
“We’re boarding them up tight, so that there’s no entry,” said Vicki Fichter, owner of Chicago Board-Up Services.
Things are so great in Chicago that there’s a professional board-up company. But it’s all peaceful. So peaceful that members of Congress are being told to hide their identities.
House Democrats attending the Democratic National Convention next week are being advised by congressional security officials not to book hotel rooms under their own names or engage with protesters if confronted, Axios has learned.
One House Democrat told Axios they are “very concerned” about their personal security and that “of course” other lawmakers are as well.
A senior House Democrat said law enforcement is telling members “not to go to a certain area, because they expect violence.”
The joy is overwhelming. It’s so joyous that it’s best to use an alias. And avoid certain areas because of all the joyous violence.
Where do the joyful peacenicks find the pallets of bricks?

Burn it to the ground.
“not to book hotel rooms under their own names”
Is that even possible?
Don’t you have to show ID at check in? I know I do.
There will be a lot of John Smiths..............
Joker over at Odd Man Out/Better Bachelor did a story on this last night, and it’s now alleged that pallets of bricks are showing up near the area where the convention is going to be, probably purchased by the same people. The people supplying the brixks are probably in league with the DNC in some fashion. It’s looking like the same people are putting on a show with different useful idiots this year. It’s all a big show.
Using an alias won’t be hard for these jackasses.
Lying and pretending is in their wheelhouse.
Luckily, the alias “Dr. Jack Kevorkian” does not sound Jewish. A throng of Kevorkians will be attending.
They let this evil out of the cage, now they can’t control it and it’s biting ‘em in the ass.......let ‘em reap what they sow.
My wacky brain read your comment as...
There will be a lot of Dumb Asses.
I know, I'm warped. You don't have to tell me.
Booked in the name of a staffer
I’m a bit surprised these members and other high-visibility DEMS aren’t doing this convention remotely.
I agree.
Metaphorically speaking.
“Is that even possible? Don’t you have to show ID at check in? I know I do.”
Some hotels Dems frequent rent by the hour and are discreet. BTW, I hear clean sheets are optional at these places.
These corrupt politicians have ID and credit cards in many different names. In DC they book rooms for their hooker met ups in DC hotels all the time.
Exactly, the rat party brought this madness on themselves.
