Groups range from climate activists to a pro-Palestinian organization banned in Israel and Germany. Arab Americans say law enforcement in Chicago has targeted them for years.

    So, they’ll allow demonstrations, which they can ignore, in a specific area. Anything they can’t ignore will be considered vandalism or violence. Also, very thinly veiled threat with the “we will protect you if you stay in your lane” (paraphrasing by me)

      What value is there in assigning blame before the problem even exists?

          Sounded just as bad when George Lucas used that line. Regardless I do agree with you.

          But to rephrase… how can it rhyme before anyone has ever spoken?

          Is that rhyme “doom will happen because of the DNC” or will it “happen because you keep saying everything’s doomed?”

          WHEN THE CONFERENCE DOES HAPPEN… how should this get reported? Neutrally or as doom and gloom?

            Simple:

            1968 - The sitting president, embattled over poor performance, steps aside leaving a vacancy at the convention in Chicago, which, absent a primary process, devolves into chaos involving protests and police:

            2024 - The sitting president, embattled over poor performance, steps aside leaving a vacancy at the convention in Chicago, which, absent a primary process… ?

              FFS What vacancy? The “sitting president” doesn’t even consider this as big of an issue as you. Is this more of you injecting a story that doesn’t exist? Kamala has enough votes for the nomination and is polling well so your point is more Hillary style nonsense?

              So is the narrative that this isnt democratic and people will revolt? Or is it just a Chicago thing? Or is it just you?

                It’s called “remembering history.”

                  How many times are needed to “remind” you?

                  Your attempt at “Remembering” history doesn’t mean you’re preventing it. Shit you are the one PREDICTING history! Again what was your point?

                  Remember berries from a self-proclaimed prophecy?
