Below is part of a comment I posted on a thread the other day. I worked at and am retired from UIC, so I know the whole area very well. UIC is an ultra liberal campus where Bill Ayers, the terrorist, is a Professor at (I think he just retired). Read this to get a flavor of what the “hood” is like around and at the auditorium he is speaking at. There are huge protests outside the UIC Pavilion where the rally is being held, right this very minute. Crowd of protesters estimated at about 1,000 so far. They are letting large groups of protesters into the auditorium as well as Trump supporters. So folks, there are going to be lots of protesters inside the auditorium too. Going to be a very active night inside there tonite. Keep your fingers crossed nothing goes wrong here. Please read my previous comment:
However, Trump is going to run into lots of incoming if he has his rally at the UIC Pavilion auditorium. It’s the same place the Black racist Louis Farrakhan gives his rallies to his Muslim brethren. Father Pfleger, the activist Catholic priest is a friend of his. Same with Rev. Wright, Obama’s mentor. An evil cabal.
Speaking of Muzzies, UIC is chock full of them; mostly Pali’s, but many other Arab students also, and they are activist and march around a lot. I used to watch them march by with bullhorns down below my 3rd floor office window in the Math Dept.
I don’t get it. There’s very little parking available around there, so many people will have to commute there on the trains and buses. The commuter trains do however all come into stations from the outlying suburbs. Will be interesting to see if he can fill the auditorium that is very large. Once you arrive on Campus, it’s pretty safe. They have their own Campus police as well as City police. There is a police station right on Campus.
I hope Trump has his flak jacket on; he’s going to need it. He’s going into the jaws of the enemy and their mouths are open wide. The proverbial viper’s pit.
“I hope Trump has his flak jacket on;”
I think he’s wearing Kevlar at all of his rallies.
Saw viva la Mexico signs in the audience.
Thank you for the info about the area. I think that makes me a bit more fearful.
I have to give Mr. T credit - a lot would have backed out after the petitions by students and profs not to have him there, but he didn’t back down and neither did the head of UIC (good on him!).
OK - Just poured a tall Scotch and water - I need it right now! Cheers to all my Trump Family FRiends for a safe and great night for our Mr. T.
Sounds like it’s going to start
