Chicago businesses are already boarding up their storefronts downtown ahead of Monday’s opening of the Democratic National Convention in anticipation of mass rioting and violence.
Plywood shielding first began showing up Thursday morning as the city’s shopping district opened for business.
“As we know, this city has a poor track record when it comes to protecting businesses,” Scott Shapiro, owner of Syd Jerome, told Chicago’s WLS-TV. “We felt it was more prudent to board up, since our customers and their employers have told them to stay home throughout the convention for their own safety,” Shapiro added.
It makes perfect sense for Shapiro to take precautions. His store was one of those destroyed during the riots in 2020.

In other words, preparing for a typical gathering of Democrat Core Constituents.
And this is the party we want in charge of any part of our government?
I don’t recall Milwaukee having to do this.
Popcorn futures are up.
What a bunch of racists.
Pretty smart wouldn’t you say?
Notice during the GOP Convention, NO riots, yes there were your usual protests but it was very small, no issues..but when you lump a bunch of commies together bad things happen
Just prepare like it was NBA Bassetball finals weekend.
Speaks volumes about democrat controlled cities.
On the radio I heard an Illinois Democrat, maybe Pritzker, say that he is proud to show Illinois to the world as “a place where Democrats deliver.” That might happen, but not in the way he hopes. You reap what you sow.
Hopefully, it will be permanent.
Of course they're boarding up. The largest concentration of palestinian-inbred-psychopaths IN THE COUNTRY lives in Cook County, IL which surrounds Chicago.
Anyone following their twatter & fakebook pages knows they're planning on rioting downtown next week along with dozens of other left-wing groups. Antifa claims to have 30,000+ "activists" in the city already.
It's gonna be fun watching Chicago burn. They deserve it. I can't wait until next week, and then the week after when so many REFUSE to go downtown to be in the office anymore.
Chicago Businesses Boarding Up Ahead of Democratic National Convention.
Better not use wood the rioters will make it fuel to burn better.
Why would their own people who they protect want to harm them?
If only the rioters could experience a “now youse can’t leave” moment...
Chicago is a crap hole. Normally local businesses make a killing during a national convention.
