Illinois town cancels July 4 parade over COVID-19 concerns but allows Juneteenth and Pride celebrations

[FOX] The city of Evanston, Illinois, located just north of Chicago, joined communities across the U.S. in celebrating their first in-person Juneteenth parade Saturday, but some have been left wondering why celebrations for the nation’s Independence Day have been canceled.
13 percent of the population bullying the other 87 percent.
The Evanston Fourth of July Association voted to cancel the town’s Independence Day events earlier in 2020 and opt for a virtual celebration instead -- citing concerns over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"Based on concern for public health due to the unpredictability of the pandemic’s impact, vaccination rates, and in cooperation with our local authorities, the Trustees...voted to cancel the Fun Run, Parade, Palatine Concert Band performance and Lakefront Fireworks show on July 4, 2021," the board wrote in a statement.

But some took to social media to voice their frustration over the decision.

"My home town of Evanston, Illinois is having a Juneteenth Parade and a Gay Pride Parade, but is canceling the 4th of July Parade & Fireworks," Tom Bevan, co-founder and president of Real Clear Politics, wrote on Twitter.

#1 why celebrations for the nation’s Independence Day have been canceled Because - Death to America!

#2 This country is sick. Our leaders applaud mobs that kill, burn and loot, even as they put up monuments to violent criminal drug addict lowlifes while they tear down statues of our beloved national heroes.

They denigrate our most important events and holidays and create bullshit meme-days in their stead.

This is intolerable. Maybe one should ask, How much longer will Americans tolerate this disgusting lunacy?

#4 If the concern really is spreading Covid, then by allowing Pride and Juneteenth gatherings they’re showing they’re evil white supremacists who want those two populations dead.

If, in the other hand, that’s just a convenient excuse, they’re showing something else equally despicable.

#6 Perhaps the illustrious governing agencies are actually trying to infect the celebrants of those two festivities.

Pass it on.....

#8 Well, they could always hold the parade anyway, and tar and feather or hang the town leadership ineffigy.
