HoughMade prognosticates that "Father" Pfleger will eventually extract some sort of tribute from the city and then choose to "relocate" his protest.
So much for his vow of poverty.
So the cops are calling him out Second City Cop: What Shortage? Oh, That One So the 7th is on the weekend so it won't hit the every day commuters, only those venturing to and from the city from the burbs or out of state. Most of the vehicles on the Ryan are not people that live in the city. and a good percentage are from Indiana
I imagine they could stop it if they really wanted to.The Chicago Police Department on Thursday pleaded with Rev. Michael Pfleger to abandon plans to shut down the Dan Ryan on July 7 to avoid pulling 200 officers out of violence-plagued neighborhoods, but the activist priest said the expressway march will go on.
So is this thing still on for Saturday?

Looks like it. He even theatrically ripped up a piece of paper.
This is tomorrow.
The Constitution?
So is this thing still on for Saturday?
The notice from the Police asking him not to do it
In a show of defiance Tuesday, activist and South Side Catholic priest the Rev. Michael Pfleger, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and others ripped up a statement from Illinois State Police warning of arrests if they moved forward with an anti-violence march that will shut down a portion of the Dan Ryan Expressway this weekend
This posted article is just now out/updated from "Chicago's Own WGN9" on their website.....
Believe it or not Emanuel is in support of this protest (even tho it's against State law to be a pedestrian on the interstate), and so is one Chicago 'TopCop'.

I'll bet this doesn't end well, at all.
This attitude by those in charge is so wrong on so many levels. We are screwed people. Screwed.
We as citizens are expected to follow the letter of the law....period. Why are they not held to the same standards.
