Thousands!

  • This week, you might as well call Chicago the protest capital of the world.

    Activists are coming here from across the country for the NATO summit, along with their signs, and guitars, and bandanas.

    [...] Behind the walls of a borrowed apartment in Pilsen, two out-of-staters are planning their week leading up to the NATO summit.

"...two out-of-staters..." That's the "thousands" so far. Of course, CBS has been on the protestors' side since Dan Rather got lumped in Chicago 44 years ago.

It's still early in the protest week, and the big dates aren't until this weekend. It's building, but is it building fast enough for the protestors to live up to their hype?

"Borrowed apartment." How casual.

That grates in about 100 different ways, doesn't it?

The place has "walls," too.

It's almost more then one person can take in.

Saw one older guy Bridgeport, had blood on his neck, his younger friends got him out of there. There was some kind of exchange and it was not pleasant.

Occupy sucks.

The 99% ers of Chicago are canceling personal events, losing money, old people afraid to go out, traffic gonna gridlock solid -- everyone in Chicago is going to hate their miserable ass with a passion by the time this is done.

Which won't be very long.

Oh -- isn't there some law in ordinances or in Ill. somewhere about being masked while committing a crime? One push, one trespassing step on private property, one "creating a disturbance" would qualify.
