  1. I live in Chicago and a friend of mine, a judge, took off work early yesterday because there were no police officers available to testify against defendants, as they had all been pulled out of neighborhoods – in my friend's case, a high-crime area on the South Side – to protect Democratic Party elites. Last night 1,000 police officers were withdrawn from the streets of America's shooting capital to arrest protesters at the Israeli consulate.

  2. Would have made more impact to do this where the Gaza ceasefire talks are taking place. Y'all just irritated the heck out of the folks of Chicago, which lost you more support than gained any.

  3. How much you willing to bet, on how many of these ppl actually know where Palastina is they protesting for. Pretty sure its less then half, that are clueless. 😛
