I never, ever imagined something would be canceled in Chicago-——Chicago!——due to safety concerns.

Just make the parade route a gun-free zone.
That will solve everything.

Irony is that Cinco de Mayo, like St Patrick’s Day, is celebrated more here than in the home country.
To: Navy Patriot
It's not a real holiday in Mexico. In America it is a holiday created by the breweries to sell beer to white boys.

Too much vibrant diversity to safely have a parade? How does that work?
