I was surprised the Sox are even lower. This city is cursed with terrible franchise owners.

The governor is telling us to go out and film these guys, who then draw weapons for doing it.

Idk man, maybe we need to test the legal waters and arrest some of these thugs

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today
