It's a freaking prairie hurricane.

i experienced an inland hurricane in college while in Carbondale. It was insane.

This is not a thunderstorm, these things are closer to a hurricane. Sustained winds of this level, you may feel tall buildings shake. Roof damage. This could be a large scale mess.

It was very intense, but short. The initial blast of wind was nuts, then grape-sized hail, but over in five minutes.

Hard to explain to people there is a BIG difference between saying and believing Black Lives Matter and supporting the "movement". The "movement" deserves to be considered a terrorist organization.

I wonder how bad the civil unrest would have become if it was limited to reasons surrounding the pandemic? and wasn't escalated by George Floyd et al

and looking back, has anyone ever had a week as bad as Derek Chauvin? (not that he didn't deserve it)

"oh you know...got fired from my job, wife filed for divorce, arrested for murder, and incited race roits across the globe...anywho so how you been?"

They really are. Democrats need to much more forcefully stand up against the abolish-the-police bullshit.

This looting had nothing to do with protests or BLM. The shooting in Englewood on Sunday involved a kid who fired a gun at police. He is alive and being treated.

This was a planned, social media event. No doubt you can put the blame at the feet of Lightfoot and/or Fox, but this is also due to archaic police work. There were warnings about this that even my daughter heard about on social media.

Unfortunately this set back the BLM Movement and gave people like Tucker Carlson fuel for his aging white audience.

The “anything goes” crowd has been clamoring for “anything goes.” Now they got it. And they can fix it. Or not. That garbage dumpster called Chicago ain’t my problem. They can burn that phucquer down for all I care.

They asked for it. They got it.

Yeah, cause things that happen in Illinois couldn't ever possibly effect things in Michigan.

Nice approach to life.

It's too bad people like Mich feel this way about Chicago. Michigan is a fantastic state with super nice people. Lots and lots of Chicago people have second homes or vacation in Michigan.

But I guess this is what happens when you get cooped up in one place for too long, stop caring about anyone other than yourself and are scared of black people.

Nah, he golfs and has a boat.
