#17  Wonder if any of the older Antifa and BLM goons recalled 1968, compared Chicago PD under Daley to the current Chitown and Mpls. marshmallow contingents under the likes of Lightfoot and Trudeau's-little-brother and saw a big opportunity: mayhem with no response.

Were they fired up & ready to go before the Floyd incident?

#16  /\ Despite their, perhaps, extra-curricular activities, it's funny how things seemed to "work" back in those days.

#15  /\ Yes, Mayor Frank (low-level ghetto arclight) Rizzo. Lots of bitc*ing and moaning at the time, but very effective.

#13  Would have been 'bad guy' bodies laying around everywhere in the 1968-1970 timeframe.

#4  I had hoped that we would never re-run the late '60s. But apparently we are going to.

#3  Well, that and the rioting downtown and the south side makes Chi-Town just a swell place to live.
