    Pfleger to lead July 7 anti-violence protest that will shut down stretch of Dan Ryan Expressway - Chicago Tribune
    Pfleger to lead July 7 anti-violence protest that will shut down stretch of Dan Ryan Expressway

    From the article
    The marchers plan to demand city officials and lawmakers use their muscle to create more jobs and better schools on the South and West sides, where some neighbors are plagued by violence, and to tighten gun control.

    Umm, there's one of your problems.
    Government doesn't "create jobs".


    Shutting down a highway, may have the opposite effect he's thinking of, when it comes to convincing people.


    Also, remember this?

    Well thousands of Indiana residents will be impacted if it goes through. The Skyway and Indiana Tollway will have record traffic that day.

    So the message is "we're against violence, so let's obstruct traffic and interfere in the lives of millions of people". Besides being a form of violence against the people who now can't get to where they need to be because of a some misguided message being forced upon them, now those millions of people who are for the majority against violence themselves, will now see the organizers of this "event" as part of the problem. Nothing like alienating millions of people in one stupid move.

    Also, I'd point out, what about "car violence"?
    Cars kill more people?
    They're blocking a road?
    But it's NOT about the "car violence"?

    So they're going to make idiots of themselves, inconvenience and anger a whole bunch of Chicago residents, possibly incite acts of violence against themselves, and further alienate moderates from their causes.
    I am not seeing a downside to this.

    Serious talk though: Why hasn't the Archdioceses of Chicago stepped in and knocked some heads around? You'd expect these kinds of shenanigans from something like the Westboro Baptist Church, but not from an ordained(?) Catholic parish.

    We don't need a permit because we don't condone police authority.

    Why won't the police ticket the pickup driver that ran through our protest?

    Liberal logic at its finest.

    Someone should organize a counter-protest with senior citizens... You know, the ones that are always mistaking the accelerator for the brake pedal and driving into buildings. ;)
