At least two people were shot in separate incidents in the Loop as revelers filled Chicago’s downtown area to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day. At times, members of the crowd overwhelmed Chicago police, threw bottles and other objects at officers, and even tried to pull some cops from their patrol cars.

Videos uploaded to the Citizen App showed people climbing on top of a CTA bus to wave Mexican flags. A sports car caught on fire outside the Roosevelt Red Line station while other souped-up vehicles spun donuts in downtown intersections.

After watching “The Great War”, the thing I came away with is that the only thing that exceeded the carnage and brutality of it all, was the stupidity on all sides.

The French were already in the act of leaving Mexico.

POTUS Lincoln threatened France with war and stated he had no problem fighting two wars at once.

I did get to see the beer holiday arrive in Massachusetts in 1999 and observe the natives reaction to the heavy beer companies advertising.

Talked with some cops up there and the place is in total chaos! Only going to get worse. Groot and the police comish won’t help the cops!

The celebrants in Chicago are almost certainly recent arrivals.

What about the people causing the violence and mayhem?

Recent arrivals or people who have lived in America for generations and are responsible for most of the violence in Chicago?

It's hard to tell at this point from the videos.

They could send 1,000 buses of illegals to places like Chicago, D.C., etc and they wouldn’t even notice.

Illegals are very transient. In fact the chances of them showing up in your town are great regardless of where they were dropped off.

We would have had “Soufflé Bell” instead.

After Johnson’s surrender there was a beginning effort to start massing Union troops under Sheridan to go into Mexico to kick the French out.

Maximilian wasn’t the only one to claim to be the emperor of Mexico!

??? Why are they celebrating “Mexican Independence” in Chicago? Last time I checked, Chicago was in the United States!
