As controversy swirls over high profile police killings in the city, hundreds of protesters blocked streets in downtown Chicago on Wednesday as part of a citywide walkout to demand Mayor Rahm Emanuel resign from his position.
Hours earlier, Emanuel had publicly apologized for the 2014 police-involved shooting death of Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black city resident, and pledged to fix the broken Chicago police practices.

I don’t like Emanuel, never have. But having said that, resigning is the worst thing he could do. We don’t change leaders this way, based on protests. We change them at the ballot box. But since he’s a democrat Chicago Mayor, I’m reasonably certain he’s not resigning.
Yes, if he resigns, then Chicago gets a mayor that is acceptable to the BLM revolutionaries. And that would be 100 times worse. And he would only be the first of many they would go after.
Emanuel needs to get in touch with the ghost of Richard Daley and tell the checkerheads to take their billys and give out some wooden shampoos.
And now walking in to the on deck circle Lisa Madigan.
Couldn’t a happen to a nicer ballerina.
Pay per view, I'm in!!
Then on to the white hut!
I like him right where he is...on his home turf and getting his butt kicked by one of his own core constituency groups. Hope it is a long and painful process. Rahm unleashed in time to create mischief for 2016? No thanks. ILL has a GOP governor now. If he has a pair, he’ll get Rahm under indictment.
Rahm, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is on the line and she says the best way to handle this is to "give those who wish to destroy space to do that".
What to do Rahm ? No way he's going to respond in a manner Daley did in 1968, (23,000 police and National Guardsmen ).
lol
spewing my coffee-
now if we could get these Marxists to target:
Betsy hodges- the biggest communist demon idiot
you would ever want to meet!
Harold Washington Redux.
There was a report a few weeks ago that Rahm Emanuel was planning to take his family to Cuba for the Christmas holidays.
While he’s in Cuba he can ask the Castro brothers what to do when everybody hates you.
If the people of Chicago are foolish enough to let Rahm back into the city after his vacation, they might also be foolish enough to accept Castroesque policies like firing squads for the worst protesters.
OBAMA (after opening a package): "What the Hell is this???"
VALERIE JARRETT: "It's a Black Lives Matter message. It means Rahn Emanuel sleeps with the fishes."
Have you seen any of the Fox News live video? Cutline says “Thousands of Protesters” block Chicago’s streets. Looks to me like about 150.
Trump is validated correct AGAIN!!!!!!
It would be poetic justice if Rahm became a victim of arkancide.
Unlike many of the other targets of the Unassimilated Welfare Population movement, I think people have a legitimate complaint that this scum delayed the release of the video for election purposes.
Maybe he could visit Florida with Obama. (Hint:1933)
How on Earth did they get all that time off work so they could protest?????????????????????????????????????
I agree. This pos corrupt mayor is an example why cities are broke. They take care of their cronies and developers while selling out public assets, while other Americans are put on the hook. He should not just resign, but he should spend decades in prison and be required to pay back the $5 million he absconded from the city. He used it to bribe the family of the kid who was shot to buy time until he was reelected.
In the event of death or resignation of the Mayor of Chicago, the Vice Mayor becomes the Mayor. That would be Ward 42 Alderman Brendan Reilly who was appointed VC just last spring after Rahm’s re-election.
It was tedious to find this information. Wiki does not even note it correctly Rahm’s page.
Also not clear if this is temporary or until the next election.
Let’s hope he is exposed (and incarcerated).
These episodes demonstrate to anyone who wants to go to work every day, as well as anyone who wants to operate a business, that you just can’t be in close proximity to welfare hives. A friend who works in Newark NJ’s small downtown had BLM-type demonstrations closing a highway there; when I asked if the company closed, she replied that they just had people work from home. Technology has made cities irrelevant (in the same manner that malls killed them decades ago - who would shop around such dangerous populations?).
Rahm should be made to answer to the $5 million bribe that Chicago paid to the family of Laquan McDonald to keep his death quiet until after the eleciton.
