Chicago's downtown deathtrap...

Which part of her made her react poorly according to you? Was it because she’s black? Because she’s lesbian? Or, do only the combination of black and lesbian react in a way you don’t approve of to rioting?

Huh? Where did I say that she was reacting poorly? I said she was doing a good job, especially compared to that loser in Minneapolis.

Why are you trying to claim that I said she was doing poorly, when anybody who actually reads by post can clearly see that I said no such thing?

Sorry I misread that. Since this was a thread about Chicago creating a deathtrap, I assumed to you were saying that she shouldn’t have done that. I was mostly baffled why you mentioned she was black and gay.

No, he didn’t, as would be obvious from watching him for a minute. He’s a well-known character, often seen riding one of his horses through the South Side.

Thanks for the correction. Honestly, it’s hard to watch a lot of these videos for more than a few seconds.

I live in downtown Chicago. Very, very downtown…a stone throw from the Loop (if I was John Elway).

I am not saying the city has not had its problems…it certainly has.

But deathtrap? Nah.

This tactic is called “kettling,” and this is a pretty good read on it: The “kettling” of protesters, explained - Vox

Just read the article and I don’t think it applies. The article defines that tactic as actively pushing into and trapping in a small confined space like a bridge or a block. Confining spread outside of the broad downtown region that it was in is not that.
