'Unusual and possibly unprecedented': Judge calls out Chicago feds as Midway Blitz cases fall apart

[ShazzieB]

12. As an Illinoisian, who was born in Chicago (although I haven't lived there since I was a baby)...

...and who has spent most of my adult life living and (prior to retirement) working in the Chicago metro area, I just wanted to say how proud of the Windy City I am right now. In spite of being given more than ample provocation, Chicagoans (like those in other cities Schlump's ICE goons have invaded) , have been able to resist the temptation to be goaded into committing acts of violence that the Orange Hellbeast could have used as a pretext to declare martial law or worse. How awesome is that?

And really, how awesome are Americans? He has tried so hard, in city after city, to gin up violence, and time after time, it hasn't worked! (At least as far as I know - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but surely it would have been huge news if actual rioting had broken out anywhere...wouldn't it? *looks around hopefully*) I don't know about anyone else, but I think that is pretty darned cool! It actually kind of restores at least a little bit of my sorely tested faith in humanity to realize that Americans in so many different cities have refused to give him what he wants! May that continue, by the grace of whatever gods may be.

And for now, take a bow, Chicago, and thank you for your leadership, Gov. JB Pritzker! You rock!
