Escalade probably stolen too
When I was a kid, we went to the Loop for Christmas every year.
We would visit Santa at Marshall Fields. They had a whole floor with kid’s toys. (Pre-Toys R Us.) 1000 island dressing to die for.
Convict on social distancing and mask violations. Commie politicians like those laws
Operation mockingbird is still in effect. The media gets their talking points - do you really think any of the major outlets is going to call it what it is?
Chicago was ok with the mayhem as long as it was in the black majority neighborhoods. Now that its affected the playground of Chicagos Democrat elites, its suddenly a problem. Some big Democrat donor may have a delayed delivery on their Tesla so now is torn to call out the riot squad.
Need to employ the Rutgers method. They’ll teach you English real good if you axe them to.
Next stop, 3 food banks.
Gotta feed da chillins and trade the EBT for drugs.
How disheartening. If you are right, then the country is lost because the terrorists can just keep up the violence andthe Dems will steal the election while the international communists take over.
We just worked from up there for 6 weeks.
They’ll burn you out anyhow.
Great that the mob is coming for the Elites living on Gold Coast Chicago.
The Elites voted that Mayor and Governor into office.
The will get what they deserve.
F-em
Look what they have done to my city.
I know what you mean. That city was good to my family, until it wasnt.
Groot will deign to take some on-topic questions.
Angry Toad will field questions from Chicagos bootlicking media, like, what can we do to reduce the disparity of income between communities to reduce the number of these events?.
It’s quite easy to write the wrong homophone when writing fast - e.g. there their they’re your you’re - even when knowing the differences (and anyone not knowing the differences I would consider illiterate).
Proof-reading catches it, but in Internet forums one writes fast and doesn’t proof. And here at FR there’s no edit function to correct posts once posted.
Brown left the presser with her boot prints on his butt.
God help Chicago. Its pols and bureaucrats won’t.
The looters are the Democrats constituents, theres nothing that can happen except they get away with it, over and over again. The law never applies to Democrats. So something else will need to be applied to them by force. Its going to become a matter of simple survival.
Escalade probably stolen too
If you are going to steal something, steal something good. That would not be on my list.
Hard to say if its worse, being stolen or not.
They were all white supremacists trying to start trouble, that’s all.
