Just got back from working out at the Kluczynski building in downtown Chicago.
Man, the DHS stormtroopers are out IN FORCE!
With my gov’t ID it took me 20 minutes to get into a building I go into every day.
I can’t imagine what security is going to be like in downtown Chicago tomorrow.
I’m not at all surprised - Mayor Daley is his father’s son, after all. Every time I’ve attended a demonstration, there have been about 3 cops per protestor.
I got started with Nick Lowe on a ‘Stiffs Live’ album that included Wreckless Eric, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello. Maybe 1978? It’s good to see someone make a reference to it these days. Sorry Blondebear, thought I felt the snark.
