Roughly 100K anti-Israel protesters expected to descend on Chicago to steal spotlight from DNC, Harris-Walz ticket

Roughly 100,000 far-left, Israel-hating protesters will be descending on Chicago this week, sowing chaos as Democratic leaders rally around their new presidential ticket.

At least seven large rallies and marches are set to take place in the Windy City while the McCormick Place Convention Center hosts Democratic National Convention, organizers said.

And other rallies are also expected even though their organizers have not scored necessary city permits.

The causes run the gamut of radical leftist causes, including backing Hamas terrorists and ending US aid to Israel.

The convention runs Monday through Thursday, but the protests begin Sunday with a march towards Grant Park organized by the pro-abortion, gay-rights organization Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws.

The biggest turnout is expected at “March on the DNC 2024” rallies slated for Monday and Thursday, organized by a coalition of 125 anti-Israel groups including the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the U.S. Palestinian Community Network.

Over 30,000 are expected to attend the Monday march, according to multiple reports.

First off, I doubt it would be 100,000.

However, if it were over 50,000; I would wager that Secret Service would have a conniption fit. I would expect both Chicago Police and the Secret Service would ask for National Guard troops to help control crowds in the area and maybe even request a curfew and possibly Marshal Law regulations.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the (theoretical) Kamala Harris supporters who come out in mass for her were to get into fist fights with the protesters? I mean we could brand Kamala Harris supporters as violent, terrorist law-breakers.

Yes, please pass the popcorn and make sure the refrigerator is stocked with lots of beer (but no Bud Light).

I don't think it's that many. But you can probably mobilize 50k from Chicago suburbs.

Then another 50k from other states. So you have 100k already.

Many of these “protesters” are simply democrat voters that have been shut out and ignored by their own party. In a true democratic system, some of their representatives should be allowed into the convention so they can be heard.

This is great! Maybe you can get 200,000! All we need is a Mayor Daley and his cops to club this pond scum!

Re: "100,000 far-left, Israel-hating protesters will be descending on Chicago..."

70% of Jewish Americans will still support the Democratic Party.

With their votes.

With their political donations.

And, with their Hard Left philanthropy.

Completely insane.

70% of new Naturalized USA citizens also vote for the Democratic Party.

Immigrants voluntarily turn their lives upside down to come to the USA.

Then, they go to the polls, and they vote for exactly the same kind of people who destroyed the country they just left.

Insane decision making.

The Democrat Jewish voters are looking forward to the beautiful scenery on the way to the concentration camps.

They’ll probably be kept as far away from the convention as possible. Also news coverage of the protests will be censored/ limited as much as possible.

Dems wont make any comments on them and either pretend the protests never happened or refer to them as peaceful.

Unfortunately mayors aren’t like they used to be.

In today’s world you can be 100% sure the police will be told to stand down and not intervene. Anyone who is arrested will be bailed out by left-wing organizations.
