funny thing about waging war against your own people...........

sometimes they fight back.................

can't say i feel any sympathy for the terrorists and white supremacists that are signing up for the chance to kidnap and beat people in the streets for drumpf. this is a case of "what the hell did you think would happen?" if any of the CBP thugs are injured it is the fault of the persons putting them in danger, not those being attacked.

conveniently coincides with Trump and Republicans’ very successful bounce from blaming protesters.

Out of nowhere the protests are simultaneously re-emerging. The question is why and why now?

CHICAGO (CBS) — There was new fallout Saturday afternoon over violent protests in Grant Park the evening before, as demonstrators tried to take down the statue of Christopher Columbus in the park.

As CBS 2’s Jeremy Ross reported, that unrest has drawn scrutiny from city leaders and the American Civil Liberties Union. There were also allegations that at least one protester was assaulted by police.

Chicago Police said some members of the crowd turned on officers, using the protest to attack them with fireworks, rocks, frozen bottles, and other objects.

CBS 2 Investigator Brad Edwards reported police brass told him “mortar round explosives, and sharpened PVC pipe fashioned into spears” were thrown at officers and recovered at Columbus statue Friday evening. Also, one police sergeant may have been blinded, Edwards reported.
