Getting around downtown Chicago is a challenge at the best of times. Weekdays feature a constant flow of carefully and swiftly moving traffic; weekends all the more so.

But it is a city of 2.5 million people, in a tri-state metro area of 9 million. Back in the days when Chicago was known as “The City that Works” – a generation ago, at least – the city fathers took great care to minimize any event that threatened to jeopardize that title.

We had parades occasionally; we had demonstrations all the time. The Constitution guarantees American citizens’ right to such things.

So the city always allowed them – it had to – but made sure they were kept under control, usually on the front courtyard of the Daley Center or some similar easily-confined location.

The goal of the demonstrators was never to disrupt traffic, in those days. As fellow Chicagoans, demonstrators knew that their own neighbors, parents, or siblings had to get to work. So demonstrators would hold picket signs and recite pithy slogans, and the police would make sure fights don’t break out...

There needs to be strong, local, pushback against these creeps . To tolerate them , in their advocacy of cold-blooded murder, is a big mistake . Give these punks something to worry about. It wouldn’t take them long to get the message.

The tactic of today’s central planning devotees is to fail to plan.

The tactic is chaos.
