Homes abandoned amid riot warnings in Chicago
WND ^ | April 21, 2012 | Aaron Klein

In a sign of what may be coming, residents of a Chicago condo building located near the site of next month’s NATO summit have been asked to leave for the event or risk being caught in a storm of rioters.

WND first reported in August 2011 that radicals, some with ties to President Obama, were planning to riot during the NATO summit.

FOX Chicago News reported the people living in the 17-floor Library Tower building at 520 South State Street were warned in a letter from condo management that “we are STRONGLY recommending that all residents find places to stay during the conference from May 18 through May 21.”

The letter specifically warned of riots:

“In the event of a riot or the potential of one near the building, all access doors will be locked including the garage door,” the letter continues. “For everyone’s safety, we will be instructing anyone in the building to stay in his or her unit.”

While NATO summits often attract crowds of thousands of protesters, the national Occupy movement may add even more chaos to the expected mass protests.

Chicago will be the first American city other than Washington to host a NATO gathering.

Such meetings have previously drawn mass protests that turned violent.

The 1999 WTO event in Seattle devolved into widespread rioting in which more than 40,000 protesters, some using violent tactics, descended on the city, prompting police to use tear gas and rubber bullets. The clash became known as “The Battle of Seattle.”

Preparing for outbreaks, the Chicago Sun-Times In July 2011 quoted Superintendent of Police Garry McCarthy as saying he was prepping 13,000 officers under his command for mass arrests of protesters.

These vile people are so nasty that now police want to evacuate buildings near their protests.

PING!

Who could have imagined that race riots would
be PLANNED in the White House and the
Dept. of “Just them”.

They do the same in every prison in the country in the event of a riot.

I have a question for MSNBC's no-star line-up:

How many homes had to be evacuated because of a Tea Party rally?

Who cares? Let ‘em riot.

Why is everyone so afraid of this?

If we constantly change venues, run away, act all sheepish, they’re only going to continue doing it! Now they KNOW they can get their way...like little children.

Rioting should be met with full on bloody FORCE by the authorities.

Leave and it will be easier to break/enter/steal. Stay put, stay armed.

The letter should have read” Arm yourselves and meet in the lobby to repel boarders.”

People should be able to protect their property from savages. It was legal during the Indian wars in the west and should be legal now.

People do not buy property to abandon it when it is threatened by ignorant rioters.

I’m not a gun person(just never used one,not against them) but I am a law and order person.

Why the hell should these people have to pay the price for a bunch of damned losers? Just arrest them all.

The inmates are running the asylum.

What a bunch of wussies. If they warned of pending riots around here, we all would cowboy up for the potential opportunity to take out a few hundred thugs while protecting ourselves, our familes, and our friends.

Luckily law-abiding citizens in Chicago are well-armed and can repel any attack. Right?

Should have held it in Detroit. It would have only improved the city.
