- Chaos erupted at a town hall meeting Wednesday night.
It was supposed to be a discussion about the new budget, but when the topic of Dyett High School closing came up, protesters marched toward the stage and the mayor
The meeting with about 500 people on hand was presumably to share their ideas on cutting the city’s 2016 $233 million budget shortfall.
One by one, the mayor heard a peaceful sampling of opinion on various issues; get rid of the red light cameras and lower property taxes.
But throughout the meeting, there were loud interruptions from scores of protesters including a dozen or so hunger strikers. They are lobbying Emanuel for a new school in the building that used to house the shuttered Dyett High School.
Within minutes after demanding a meeting with the mayor, dozens of the protesters suddenly stormed the stage. It was chaos as they took over the stage and the mayor’s security detail and uniformed police rushed into the noisy confusion. In a matter of scary minutes, they were able to escort Mayor Emanuel and other city officials safely through the crowd and back stage.
Amazing restraint by the police for not joining the protesters and asking about our promised pensions.

Until he addressed not contributing the city's share of our pensions I would've let the slimy, lying prick fend for himself.
Ok, first off, I'm not a rahm fan. I'd vote for a ham sandwich before I'd vote for him. Second, I get it that some people are upset about this school closing. This is an issue that totally affects them. That being said, I don't agree with the protestors coming on the stage and commandeering the meeting. I'm all for rahm getting an angry earful from anyone and everyone, and it's not like the little weasel doesn't deserve to be raked over the coals for some of his decisions, but you have to control yourselves in order to have your position be taken as credible.
That little rotten twinkle-toed pansy has no idea how close
he is to being left to fend for himself as he continues his
"I Don't Have To Listen" tour...
We caught a snippet and he obviously has his paid cheerleaders
at every venue so when the cameras come on and the media
bobbleheads start talking, it lends the appearance that Rahm
hasn't completely lost the working and middle class in this city.
Rahm IS afraid.
I get crabby when I'm hungry. Little foreshadowing of future protests/mob action to come? This shits going to spiral out of control and one of these times we not going to be able to control the mob. No way he does another meeting like this.
Thanks to Bernie, we're going to be seeing that more and more. No Democrat is going to be able to make a speech w/o someone rushing the stage to try and take over.
Post the video of Rham getting punked off stage !!
This are yo constituents. Welcome to the my world, the west sideeeeeee
SCARY minutes!
I'm not a PO but I want to share this...word has it a Dyett mom was so angry she threatened to chew off one of Rahms fingers. Fearing for an additional digit loss, Rahm did the pre-arranged secret hand signal that he and Garry had rehearsed (you can imagine what that was - a scissors motion with two of his good fingers). Upon seeing this, the special officer team came in to save the day (rather "save the digit" to be precise). Rahm does not want the nickname "ocho".
I wish I would help that little bastard! He continues to fuck us all but wants my help? Yeah not going to happen! They people should beat themselves, they did re elect this jerk
We're the mayor's umbrella holders scared?
Did anybody get a Community Interaction Event Number? In this case,it would be The Mayor Just Shit His Pants Event Number....
Ladies and Gentlemen: This evening's chaos brought to you by Black Lives Matter - inspiring uncivil behavior and savagery everywhere.

Tiny dancer's detail unit really began to panic when a woman walked into the meeting with a large paper bag full of tomatoes. LMAO
That's odd. You'd think it would've been a calm rational group discussion. Welcome to our lives, which consists of trying to talk to adults that act like two year olds. A lot of yelling, screaming and sometimes shitting themselves.
You should click thru and watch the video. Better than Jerry Springer!
Amazing restraint from our LEO's to not kick the shit out of the lying midget. Here is a budget idea. Quit spending money we do not have, you can't get anymore from my family, we don't have it.
Have the friends you grease contribute to the pension plan, hell it belongs to the Police and Firefighters anyway, whats a little kick back for a kickback. we are still in Chicago.
I teach my daughter that Police are your friends as long as you obey the law. Not that hard. In another fifteen years you may have a blonde haired blue eyed pig-tailed fighter join your ranks!
Most importantly though PLEASE BE SAFE! The anti-police sentiment in this country is very real and very dangerous.
Airborne All The Way!

The security detail and uniformed presence should have went for Coffee when they rushed the stage.
You'd have to be a stone suckhole to get yourself hurt for that pos
That video made my fucking day!!!

"...they were able to escort Mayor Emanuel and other city officials safely through the crowd and back stage..."
...and after shoving reeking dumpsters out of the way, kicking aside dead rats and old chairs and the odd sleeper or two, they were able to get The Emperor and his entourage out the service entrance, down the broken and slippery back stairs, and into their armored caravan, which activated its emergency equipment and roared away as the red-light cameras flashed, flashed, flashed in confusion...
Seems fitting somehow.
OT- The Police Officer in Abilene Texas found dead in home was tortured and there were anti-police rantings written on walls of home. They are not releasing very much information at this time.
but you have to control yourselves in order to have your position be taken as credible.
Folks know all the tax/school/pension stuff is a done deal and have given up on persuasion. What you're seeing is the confluence of the "no justice no peace" crowd with those that are fed up with the political process as we know it. Buckle your seat belts

I agree but there comes a time when then stops working. It stops working when those who are elected stop listening and believe they can do as they please. They have to be reminded from time to time that they work for us and that we are the ones who are in control, to a certain point. Sometimes you have to raise the flag and slice some throats just to keep them in check.
I'm sure, since he is a proud democrat and by association, a supporter of the BLM movement, he will apologize to those those he upset by not allowing a stage take-over.
Wimpy weasel wrodent.
I wonder how the crowd was at the Wright College fireside chat.

But, their position is not at all credible. 12 graduating seniors last years??? That about say's it all.
The school ws a gang infested problem at dismissal 30 years ago and, trust me,nothing has changed except that there are fewer students, and I use that term loosely.
You can only be a protester if you're a property tax payer, that should be law. We have these on link and various other publicly funded programs making demands with other peoples money. Hunger strike my ass, I've seen some big bellied protesters pretending to be light headed from hunger, priceless.
Brian earning his Cmdrs pay...
You mean the good non tax paying citizens demanding more from the tax paying citizens are not afraid of the Sarah Lawrence College of Dance graduate? I saw videos of Rahmmie acting pretty bad ass when he was obongos chief of staff. Guess those White House staff pimps are easier to intimidate than those south side mamas.♠️
I would venture a guess that the protesters practice a certain type of magical thinking, which goes: build a fine school and that will magically turn the students into fine students.
Richard, if you love your daughter which I'm sure you do you would never let her join the cpd or any other city dept. for that matter. Get her the hell out of this circus city! A future copper keeping the burbs safe and decent is better. That's where most of us are going after we can retire from this mess.
I bet he pissed his Depends.
