Italian Americans have reacted with anger after two statues of Christopher Columbus in Chicago were removed under cover of darkness in the early hours of Friday morning under the orders of Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Before dawn, city crews used cranes to remove a monument in Chicago's Little Italy and a massive bronze statue in Grant Park, which were first erected at the city's first and second World's Fairs in 1893 and 1933, respectively.
Italian American community leaders say they were taken aback by Lightfoot's abrupt order to remove the statues, which Lightfoot calls a 'temporary' measure until passions cool. The Grant Park statue was at the center of violent scenes last week, when 49 police officers were injured by a mob hurling rocks and fireworks while attempting to tear the statue down.

So how many of the idiots have been voting straight Rat for the past 100 years...like since they got here?
This is what they wanted, and they got it good and hard
Did they vote for her?
Sorry, Italians. You’re white so you don’t matter.
lol
Makes ya wish Al Capone was still around!
Not enough Italian-Americans left in the city to make much of a difference - the morons who put that incompetent in office mostly get their reward by seeing their kids get shot night after night.
If Capone et al were still around, that unter menchen would not be anywhere near City Hall.
Well....duh.
Where is the Godfather when we need him.
A shame as the great Louis Prima from New
Orleans embraced jazz-blues music, learned
from Satchmo, and Sicilians and blacks
got along well in N.O. etc
Btw in Jungle Book Louie did the great
I wanna Be Like You...and all the cool
musical instrument noises were thrown
in by Leo DeLyon, who is Jewish (and
still with us). Anti semitism, anti-
Italian, anti-European...disgraceful
these days
Yeah, I know...they all moved to the northwest suburbs.
But when you look at the Cuomo’s and other recalcitrants, you wonder when do the remaining few get it: the Rat party stopped marketing to them years ago when they moved on to LGBTABCXYZ crap.
getting the family to vote straight 'D'
TORCH IT..! TEAR IT DOWN..!! WHY IT'S NOTHING MORE THEN A SYMBOL OF OPPRESSION, AGGRESSION AND MASCULINITY...!!! Grrrr..(spit,spit).
Who voted for that thing?
She knows that blacks are killing blacks and has chosen to do nothing and say nothing. But this thing has taken down statues of Columbus, sending the implicit message “Columbus (Whitey) did this to you. We hate him! Keep killing each other!”
So Mayor Beetlejuice comes up with the notion that gangbangers lives matter and if she takes down the Columbus statue to dishonor Italian American heritage, gangbanging blacks will stop killing other blacks in her city
If Joey Lombardo and his “family” were till running the West Side of Chicago, Lighthead would be floating face down in Lake Michigan.
Dig up San Giancana and let him clean up things, Chicago style, Old School, the Geeters with the Heaters.
