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.
It’s racist to board up windows.
That’s what the courts determined when businesses boarded up before Black Bike Week in SC, ordering businesses to remain open...to looting, rioting and dash-n-dine -ers.
It took me a while because it is pretty clear today. I had to wait for the cloud to come by.
I wonder IF there was a run on OSB and Plywood the last week to board up all the windows in downtown Chi town?
Excuse me sir, those windows and doors are being covered with “joy panels”.
I wonder IF there was a run on OSB and Plywood the last week to board up all the windows in downtown Chi town?
I thought Trump brought chaos not the Dems.
LOL! THAT IS HILARIOUS!
Maybe as Pierre Delecto????
You’re gonna have so much frickin’ joy it’s gonna split your head and catch a building on fire.
Most of them are already using aliasses.

Work cards
They aren't going to tell the hookers their real names.
They riot, then Comrade Kamala takes the stage and calms them down. Makes for great theater.

Tomorrow night is it going to be Hillary-ious?
Kamala would exasperate Yogi Berra.
