An Illinois state senator defended the Chicago "Teen Takeover" that unfolded Saturday night and left multiple boys shot, claiming it was simply "a mass protest against poverty and segregation."
Robert Peters, who represents parts of Chicago, responded to the chaotic scene that saw hundreds of local youth smashing car windows, jumping on surrounding vehicles, and firing guns in the streets.
Rather than condemn the chaos that left tourists running in fear, Peters suggested it was a "mass protest."
"Since I’m a glutton for punishment and I’m sure I’m gonna get the most unhinged, crime weirdo replies but: I would look at the behavior of young people as a political act and statement," Peters wrote in a Twitter post Sunday. "It’s a mass protest against poverty and segregation. Rest in peace to my mentions."

I am just so freakin’ sick of the double standard going on in this country!! It is totally fine for black people, the liberal left and antifa to “protest” by rioting and burning cars, breaking the windows of businesses or pregnancy clinics but you better not protest the government that calls you and I racists and extremists because we don’t agree with them trashing the Constitution and that we believe in fair and legal elections!
Chicago pastor: ‘I live on a roof to raise cash for black youths—but BLM won’t help’

If burning, looting, and anti-cop violence are peaceful protesting, then the J6 protest must qualify as a quiet religious service...
Watching the tourist dollars drain out of Chicago this summer.
Reinforcing the thinking behind racism and segregation.
Keep Hope Alive, Cracker!
Why are Democrat politicians with names of Peter Red Diaper Baby Buttigieg and this clown Peters, etc. such ignorant pricks?
What segregation?
Based on this, they may change the venue.
Looking back now....wasn’t this Democratic Convention idea in Chicago a five-star screw-up?
I’ll go and predict by the end of the 2nd day....with over 100 attendees roughed-up/robbed....that they decide to end the convention by mid-day of day 3.
Robert Peters is delusional. He would likely walk with those Heaven’s Gate weirdos down the Santa Monica Pier to catch the Mothership. Too bad we can’t commit him to a mental hospital.
I heard on the news that it was the unusually warmer weather that brought the mob out. Global warming? Wait until this summer.
“I wonder what Rev. Corey B. Brooks would have to say this evening:”
I wonder why the city removes the burned-out cars from the site. Leave them in place indefinitely to remind every neo-Marxist of their folly...
If it a mass protest then who are the adult instigators that need to be punished for conspiracy to commit violence and criminal acts? Woke teachers? Antifa? The local boys and girls club? The judge disciples? Rogue artists who do colorful Street installations? The DAs office? Nope. Nothing to see here, captain furillo.
So was January 6th. Chicago was mob theft and destruction. And no fbi in the midst orchestrating it.
[Wait until this summer.]
Oh yeah. Should be lots of fun.
Hope they keep voting Democrat out there.
Should work out well.
Of course I’m next to a large city so it votes stupid, I mean Democrat every time.
“Yes indeed. I like that they are upping the score. But even so, these young bucks need more range time. Nevertheless, 10 for the weekend is an improvement. I’m tired of those stories about 30 people shot, but only one dead. That’s sort of a downer to me. Let’s ramp it up!“
You would be less happy to see the present and future publically funded hospital bills for the above. Advances in medicine and a very good emergency medical structure is keeping the death ratio low.
Activity is also known as “wilding.”
But those J6 insurectionists
Teen Team Wilding is protest?
I thought looters could be shot?
We should have seen a repeat of the ‘68 Democratic convention with police cracking heads of these feral animals.
