In Dead of Night, Derelict Mayor Lori Lightfoot Has Columbus Statues Removed from Two Chicago Parks

Antifa and BLM insurrectionists attacked cops and injured 49 of them to tear one of the statues down.

The cops -- unarmed! -- defended the statues as they were attacked with frozen water bottles, cans filled with urine, rocks, fireworks, and PVC pipe sharpened to points and used as spears against the cops.

The cops won the day.

Derelict insurrectionist mayor Lori Lightfoot had delivered the terrorists the prize they sought.

After protests, demonstrations and violent clashes with police, Chicago's Christopher Columbus statues have been removed from both Grant Park and Arrigo Park.

CBS 2's Marissa Parra reported crowds cheered overnight as the Grant Park statue was removed by the city. The statue in Little Italy was removed early Friday morning.

...

Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th), one of the mayor’s most outspoken critics, also denounced the mayor’s removal of the statues.

"What has become of Chicago? We have a mayor forced into submission by anarchy & mob-rule? No more public process, official discourse, or on-the-record debate. The lesson learned is that if you want action from Lightfoot, show up en mass at her house & she will cave every time," he posted on Twitter.


Video of Lightfoot's dead-of-night crime below:

Here are "protesters" celebrating. I don't know if they're celebrating Lightfoot's appeasement or just Twerking for Justice.

Let's count how many of these people dancing nuts-to-buts are wearing masks, huh?

It's just a mystery we may never solve. Probably Trump did it.

In related news, the media continues to be perplexed at why covid rates are rising and why blacks are being hit by the virus at a higher-than-average rate.


Here's that video press conference explaining antifa's and BLM's tactics in attacking and injuring the cops:

Just yesterday, Lori Lightfoot claimed that Trump was "sexist" to send federal officials to help curb her city's out-of-control murder rate -- apparently believing that Portland mayor Ted Wheeler was also a woman.

Well, can't say I blame her on that.

40 Second City Cob Blog has a good take on this as well as the fucking inner city street war that is occurring every night with the homicides and attacks.
Someone yesterday on a talk radio station said Chicago is like Beirut.

As is Portland at this point. Trump is either going to cede the US Courthouse to the anarchists or actually throw down.

Let me segue on the Portland thing for a moment, having a basis of knowledge about that area.

What is really interesting, having been in that courthouse numerous times, is that the Federal Judges and US Attorney's Office are both housed there. A federal judge signed an order yesterday forbidding Federal LEOs from arresting protestors or "observers." Guess who just became an observer- every fucking antifa.

The US Attorney for the District of OR has some real balls to make an official complaint to the US DOJ OIG for the officers use of force etc. That alone will doom any relationship between the USAO and the Federal agencies working cases and fucking defending that courthouse and the those US Attorneys.
I've never seen anything like this in Federal law enforcement. I am truly gobsmacked.

Just note that she thinks she can appease the mob, but they were only in it for the emotional thrill they get from "demanding" something. Now that it's done, they've got to move onto something more to keep that emotional high. That's why it never ends.

48 For all interested in actual history, pick up a copy of Dr. Carol Delaney's "Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem." She researched primary documents and not the Howard Zinn smear job that every public school and university uses to destroy his legacy. Sadly, democrats and academics love them some Howard Zinn...sadder still are the Italian Americans who do not defend Columbus.


Two quotes from Delaney's book which jumped out at me:

"The 'presentist' perspective that dominates contemporary view, even among some academics, holds him responsible for consequences he did not intend, expect, or endorse."

" I write this because Las Casas is remembered only for his defense of the Indians; what is forgotten is that he owned slaves and endorsed and operated encomiendas, while Columbus, who never owned slaves, is reviled and blamed for everything that went wrong in the Indies."

Now it's too late and I agree that we should just let these blue cities burn to the ground.

I don't know the exact breakdown but lets use this.

1/3 of the city are socialist minded minorities looking for the benefits (not ALL minorities, just those indoctrinated to be victims and/or on the dole).

1/3 of the city is progressive white liberals doing their version of "The White Man's Burden." Many of these can be victims of crime or at least higher costs, increasing fear and inconveniences, but still be mentally locked out of anything approaching critical thought on these issues.

1/6 of the city are govt./union employees tied into the political system. (Some of these stray from the plantation, on occasion.)

1/6 of the city are independent-minded conservatives.

So, about all you have to really work with are the last two sub groups, and a handful of defectors from the first two.

Actually, I think that they care, but just not in the way that you might think.

The majority of the killings are involved with or ancillary to the illegal drug trade in Chicago. I am sure that the Democrats, in particular (and likely Republicans too) are getting big payoffs to let this go on.
There is big cartel money involved, and that helps fund the Democrats and their cronies.

So yes, the drug trade "problem" is a big deal with Lightfoot and the Democrats in general. It makes them a lot of money.
So if Donald Trump got Federal law enforcement more involved, it would really cut into their revenue stream, and expose a lot of Dirty Cops in Chicago.

Just my two cents opinion, and worth every penny of it.

82 It is pretty much obvious today that there are two Americas. John Edwards would be proud I guess. People don't want to learn, they want some new reader to tell them they were right all along.

That this is happening is still shocking. If any Italian-American votes Dem, it will be weird. OF course we know many of them will, ask Cuomo and Deblasio.
I don't get why people are taking this. I think it is fear and that the Left is using Blitzkrieg tactics. They are wining so many victories so fast even they can't believe it.

83 This x1000. What's disturbing is how hard it's being pushed in social media - they have friggin' animated GIFs in Instagram/FB for mail in voting. They also have a "block white people" GIF but that's a different matter.

I'm cautiously optimistic that social media is reflecting less and less of America the more people they censor.

Nowadays it seems like leftist ideology is universally embraced if you believe social media is an accurate microcosm of reality, which it isn't.

Regular wilding raids have been going on in the downtown area for nearly a decade now. And gang activity already saw the fireworks show on the 4th basically cancelled along with the Taste of Chicago (at least compared to what they used to be).

I had always though Chicago had foundational differences that would keep it from going full Detroit but I'm not so sure anymore. It takes a very rare event to get me in to the city.

No, that's not quite true. This was a temporary restraining order granted in a Lawsuit filed by the ACLU. Story on it can be found at The Hill, among other places. As best I can tell, what the US Attorney did was put out a milquetoast request for the DOJ to "investigate", which has to be a bureaucratic form letter for anything that any official is scared to deal with.

From that, I don't see the US Attorney as being on the other side (Not the way that the Judge is) but I do see him as a typical gutless government worm.

He also says that LEOs can still arrest for crimes committed, but with the US Attorney making an official complaint to DOJ OIG and DHS OIG regarding said arrests, you think any agent wants to have a civil tort against him and found out of scope by their respective agency?

In defense of Barr, the Feds are NOT a general police agency - the locals are supposed to do that. So, what to do when there is a Local Government approved complete breakdown in all normal law and order?

On this point, we must be honest with ourselves - To truly achieve a state of peace and control, Trump would need to move in at least a full division of Special forces, maybe more, abolish all civilian government, abolish all civilian control (since it as all on the enemies side) and establish 24 hour military checkpoints at all major intersections and highways. Plus, set up concentration camps for curfew violaters in some outlying area.

That's not going to happen, it can't. SO what is the best that can be done? Providing defensive cover while maintaining political viability in the upcoming election is the only thing worth trying for, and that's the tactic I see the Feds pursuing.

And yes, I've seen the guys on Harley's with masks - but it's only weird in the summer time. Most of these guys have had their masks for years to keep their face warm/dry when riding - since most H.D. types don't do the full face helmet thing.

This is heartbreaking! The Knights of Columbus are so named because of the explorer's known piety - known during his life and known after his death. The Catholic Church was even considering him for sainthood in the 19th century.

Here is a video from last week in Chicago. At the 19 minute mark is a former sheriff and Knight of Columbus who brings the red meat: and he questions the leadership of the Catholic church for abandoning Columbus
...oh..and he goes after John Lewis and current Mayor Beetlejuice...oh, and he brings up the importance of dads! This guy is running forUS senate and I hope he makes it. 19 minutes: https://tinyurl.com/y2zx5jgk

310 Trump's job is to win. The people he hires for the campaign have one job, to win. The Repubs at the RNC and other organizations have one job, that is to win. It is time to improvise, adapt and overcome or hand it off to others. Don't let the Left run the clock out. If that happens this will be the worst run political campaign in history.

But ultimately Barr and Sessions before him undoubtedly knew about how the money was funneled into these organizations: Occupy, then Antifa, then BLM. They had quite a long time to either shut it down and expose the rich contributors (not Soros, he's pretty upfront and somehow teflon), but have done nothing. The anti-Police stuff is popular on Arabella and they are always looking for "philanthropists" to keep it up. The DOJ is essentially dead.

The last mayoral election there were at least 12 who ran (as Democrats no Republicans both any more). It ended up as a runoff between Larry and Toni Prickwinkle. Prickwinkle who is equally as bad got hammered because as Crook County president she passed a soda tax which got reversed pretty quickly. Rahm left because I think he saw the situation was falling apart really quickly

We need a complete Article III rewrite.

Posted by: AZ Hi Desert (Gringo fuertemente armado-now with more Disturbed) at July 24, 2020 12:50 PM (N3El/)


We need it, but won't get it. The big problem with Article III is that it doesn't require or prohibit very much. Congress is given the power to make laws setting-up any and all Article III courts below SCOTUS...and to make the Federal laws those courts enforce.

The next time the Dems get the White House and both Houses of Congress, they can remake the Federal courts without bothering about amending Article III. Scary.

381 When I was riding along with a friend who was doing independent surveys for McD.s. It was a good trip when the McD's were out in the country, and in small town/small city America. When it came to big cities, the trips were no fun, and done on Sunday mornings. Not that many McD's in the inter-cities anymore except right down town. Plenty of places in the cities I never, ever want to travel to again.

383 From where I sit, I see a lot of people here are still holding on to the idea that cities are a part of the heritage territorial U.S. nation. For the most part, one would do better to think of them as lost territory where basically states or even the national government has effectively ceded control to the residents of those cities. For the most part, they basically share the situation of Native American reservations more than being a part of the territory of the U.S.

The statues, etc. reflect the past history of a united nation that is effectively gone because it does not reflect the "history" of the apparent majority of city residents. Once the statues are gone, then the target becomes the rule of law and any kulak business daring to exist because the law and economics of capitalism to the city residents supporting the resistance is also viewed as oppressive. Then it will be punishing those that oppose the "general will" of the mob.

The attack on the symbols and bad think leads seamlessly to attacks on private property and law because essentially far too many city residents (which is a sizable percentage of the U.S. electorate) simply do not agree with the Framer's social contract as amended by the Civil War amendments.

What will come of it, I do not know but history offers some examples and most of them involve unpleasantness.

397 One of the very obvious gaps in the constitution is that the states don't have a direct voice in the federal government.


Imagine, for example, that any act of congress or the SC could be overturned by the vote of a supermajority of states.


But that whole is there because that is what the Senate is supposed to be.


I know the problems that led to the 17th Amendment, but on the whole it has caused more problems.

6 of the 50 alderman in Chicago are members of the Democratic Socialists of America and they can't stand Lightfoot. She will be one term and done because she is not "left" enough. My Alderman is Byron Sighco Lopez (sigh) and my ward is home to the Revolutionary Lemonade stand.
