Illinois State Police on Monday arrested a dozen anti-violence protesters who were trying to march onto the Kennedy Expressway near O’Hare International Airport.
Eight men and four women were arrested, given $120 citations for being a “pedestrian on a highway,” and released, according to State Police Major David Byrd. Among those arrested was the Rev. Gregory Livingston, who organized the protest.
Livingston and about 60 other protesters were met by dozens of state troopers who lined the Cumberland Avenue entrance ramp to Interstate 90. A trooper on a megaphone repeated: “This is the Illinois State Police. It is against the law to be a pedestrian on the roadway.”
Police told the protesters to turn around, and Livingston replied, “We understand. No.” Protesters then chanted, “Ain’t nobody going to turn us around.”

Thomas Cook, a 38-year-old from Edgewater, held a sign that read: “Dear Rahm, Do more 4 the South & West Sides or Resign Now.”
Rahm feels your pain. Now, go vote for him again please.

These people get off too lightly.
This is a lark to them.

There’s a nice line of thunderstorms moving through right now. A few well placed lightning strikes would be most welcome.

Kim Costello, of Oak Park, carried a sign that read, “Racism is wrong.” She said it was important that white people like her join the protests to draw attention to racial inequality.More virtue signaling by white libtards. I see exactly one person with a dark complexion in all the crowd scenes who is NOT wearing a police uniform.
How many crimes were committed in black neighborhoods while you paleface crackers were tying up police resources with your stupid little protest?

Why does the media act like the “anti-violence” moniker is anything other than the joke that it is?

The headline refers to them as “anti-violence protestors”. No bias there, huh?

Well, hey, the Dems have been running that city for only the last eighty years or so, you just have to give them that much more time to fix things.

How about encouraging them to not vote for Rahm? The Dems have made life hell for the inner cities with false promises. Celebrate the fact that they are waking up!

Sorry, we have no rights.
A lawyer recently declared about similar demonstrations,even if you discuss running them over you could be arrested for saying that! And if you later did it they could imprison you big time. Even though the bad guys were obstructing legal highway traffic.
Maybe the lawyer was full of it but who can risk it?
So, we have no rights.

They see themselves as noble heroes emulating Thoreau,ML King and Ghandi.
Their history lessons come from comic book versions that shows men looking like Roger Ailes and Rush held at bay by courageous diverse young people who will win the day and save the earth from eco disaster. I actually saw a children’s show on TV once just like that. Now the kiddies are grown up (physically grown up, that is).

Thanks for the comments. I agree with your take on it.
I’m almost afraid to look at the Saturday morning cartoons these days.
