For a while, I couldn’t find a single protester outside the convention, much less a Chicago seven.
They said tens of thousands of protesters would be here. They claimed they would “shut down the DNC for Gaza.” Like the Chicago riots during the 1968 Democratic convention, their demonstrations would snarl the city, shake the party and doom the candidacy of “Genocide Joe.”
Then came Kamala Harris — and the protest fizzled.
Organizers anticipated there would be 30,000 to 40,000 protesters on hand for Monday’s kickoff. But only a few thousand showed up; police estimated 3,500
Yesterday I got temporarily banned from a conservative community for calling them out for pearl clutching about This. Exact. Thing. I told them in a week we'd forget about this. They were peaceful protests. No deaths, no property damage, none of that would add to their message.
Ok, the ban might be for calling out the mod about his name calling but the dude's a full blown fascist so I couldn't care less.
Yeah I can get behind this, it's incredibly sensible. The Israeli embassy is also considered Israeli territory, so it makes even more sense to protest there.
Thanks for the advice, but I did see a random guy try to stop such foolishness. A number of the masked assholes overwhelmed him. Next time he might try to level the playing field the Chicago way.
