‘F**k the Police’: First Wave of Anti-NATO Protests Hit Chicago

Chicago isn’t exactly a hotbed of homespun America and apple pie motivated sentiment. But apparently even the residents of Chicago have limits regarding what they’ll tolerate in their neighborhood. And one of those limits is, apparently, anarchist and communist protesters.

Anti Nato Protesters in Chicago Shut Down Halsted Street With Black Bloc Tactics

Note the red and black flags

Today marks a moment when radical Leftist anti-NATO demonstrations in the city, affiliated with “Occupy NATO,” are hitting their stride. And as with all Leftist demonstrations, black bloc tactics are involved. To that end, a group of masked thugs from the protests went to the trouble of taking over Chicago’s Halsted Street, even going so far as laying down in front of a police station.

This did not sit well with the neighbors. A video posted today at Breitbart.com shows increasingly agitated residents of the city of Chicago reacting as only Chicagoans can react to the antics of these protesters.

One such person, after apparently being accused of racism by a protester, defiantly yells back “I’m a racist! F**k you! F**k everyone!” Another, meanwhile, says incredulously about the organizers of the protest, “You’re not even from Chicago! What are you doing here?”

Intercut with the clips are shots of breathtaking displays of public disorderliness, including protesters swarming the Chicago subway (some of whom are wearing black scarfs over their faces), and screaming obscenities at the police. Others go so far as blocking cars with street signs while hooting.

Perhaps most hilarious of all, there are a few shots of members of the National Lawyers’ Guild (an organization which was noted for being a communist front group as far back as the 1950′s) observing the proceedings, and describing the protesters as their “clients” even though these protesters are, presumably, paying them precisely no money.

    DHS and NATO want US Citizens engrained with the overwelming brass knuckle force of the new police state. We are suppose to go Whoa. The plan is for You to become a citizen on the UN and all US heritage to be destroyed.

    We also have the only legitimate authority. The Constitution on the US. Many of the so called laws are illegal Washington enacts.

      On the Navy’s Recruit Training Command’s facebook page, the Commanding Office has announced the following:

      “By order of the Commanding Officer, Naval Station Great Lakes, areas of downtown Chicago are off-limits to MILITARY PERSONNEL IN UNIFORM, between May 18-22, 2012 during the The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit.”

      There’s something major league wrong with the notion that a CO fears for the safety of his crew in a major American city.

      THE-MONK, I have prefaced many a political discussion with the few on the left here who would still attempt to jump down my throat about Bush. After stopping them with a “What do you not understand about my first sentence about not being a Bush supporter did you not understand?” Then a short time into the discussion the idiots are trying to beat me about the neck and head again regarding Bush. Idiots. Now, if they tried to pound me about Reagan, then they would be right about me being a total supporter.

      You rant and rave and make no sense at all! This article is about a bunch of teenagers and immature adults that feel they have the right to do anything they want and the people of Chicago don’t want them there. The lawyers that are walking along with them are the real criminals. Arrest the lawyers and watch the crowds fall apart. I am a member of the Tea Party and proud of it. We always leave anyplace we go cleaner than when we arrive. We protest peacefully. We commit no crimes, but we are constantly accused of being criminals. I will compare our record any day to the far leaning left.

And everyone knows that under martial law, all elections are ordered suspended. I sure hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so. Afterall, isn’t DHS buying up massive quantities of ammo, notably .40 cal S/W?

Then they will slink off into the darkness just as the media, city, and WH desire. There will be no arrests unless they step out of well defined lines and as long as the damage is in the ‘selected’ areas all will be okay with their left wing leaders.

    Read them the rules of correct protesting , if they break them deport them under the National Security regulations. DHS needs to get involved, we can’t tolerate violence in this country.
