Roughly 3,000 demonstrators have shut down a large portion of Michigan Avenue in Chicago-the "Magnificent Mile"-in the middle of Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, to protest the shooting of black teenager Laquon McDonald.
The 17-year-old was killed in October 2014, and was apparently armed with a knife at the time. Video of the shooting released on Tuesday, however, shows that he was walking away from police at the time he was shot 16 times by Officer Jason Van Dyke.
Turnout was strong despite 39-degree weather and rainy conditions. Demonstrators shouted "16 shots!" and "No justice, no shopping!"
The march started at Michigan and Wacker Drive and began walking north. They include demonstrators from the Nation of Islam, which is marching under the banner of "Justice of Else"; RevCom, the Revolutionary Communist Party, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH coalition.

How's that going to work out?
did I miss something. Terrorists? Disturbing the peace and illegal demonstration, terrorism? They belong in jail.
I’m thinking that not many shoppers from Highland Park will be crossing the line at the Watertower.
I’m not a fan of Black Friday shopping, but I am disgusted with thugs who would interfere with the choice of others to shop for discounts. I’d be okay with arresting and prosecuting these parasites or even with shooting any who resist arrest. The world does not need any racist social justice warriors, and we have far too many of them.
See, this is what I was saying yesterday.
Some of us said, “Hooray, we can finally shop in peace!”
I said they would be outside the malls.
Reminds me of the NBP outside the polls in Philly
Did they rob a bowtie and trench coat factory?
the new on tv kept showing lquan mcdonald in his cap and gown from some graduation ceremony.
Every single damned one of them should be thrown in jail.
Bowties are part of the uniform of Nation of Islam-Farrakhan’s peeps.
Well that might make it safer for other people.
And when the businesses close down, and shoppers decide not to patronize anything in many neighborhoods and more businesses close down, we’ll have more Detroits.
Of course, those things are never factored in by many who create add’l problems.
But we have an agitator out there who tries to figure out every which way he can make things worse. Just like Al and Jesse.
Rahm Emanuel is nothing but a sniveling little POS coward.
This is Farrakhan's Muslim group– a front for ISIS in the US?
Isn’t bowtie wearing in the black community meant to signify a nation of islam member?
They got a additude
I wonder how many of those businesses voted for obama?
Makes all the sense in the world, in their minds, because those shops and customers shot him...
They were too chicken to protest at the police station. If they did, 75% would be detained on outstanding warrants and another 15% would be ID’d from video of other crimes. The remaining 10% would be arrested for carrying and drugs.
