Chicago’s very own Clown Attorney. Occasional British Loyalist who still welcomes a return of Queen Elizabeth II to these shores. Should not be taken too seriously, please.

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd

The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

Way too slow. And it supposes that we ever get out of an authoritarian regime.

Sweet Jesus.

That and trial is risky, even on a nonsense charge like this. Take the shot you have.

this is getting very dangerous very fast and it is entirely the feds' doing. in fact the discipline and courage of protesters is the only thing slowing down escalation.

At 105th chaos erupted when ICE agents allegedly crashed into an SUV. A crowd formed and objects were thrown. Pepper balls were shot into the crowd. Police arrived to try to have dialogue with the crowd when witnesses stated they began throwing rocks at ICE. ICE then deployed tear gas.

You could imagine and less terror inclined regime who would rely on removal orders and give these folks time set their affairs in order. Instead, we allow expidited removals and this sick joke of "due process."

to be fair, his main asset are his crypto assets, and he sold them, they would be worthless.

Respectfully, I do not think it's a good diea for the military to be dependent on the President's private funds for their pay.

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

If it doesn’t rain, I think turnout will be overflowing

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 14h

Yeah, if they try that it’ll blow up in their faces.

In first remarks since ICE raids descended on Chicago, Cardinal Cupich “called the administration's aggressive immigration tactics unnecessary and intolerable. He says those tactics are intended to terrorize.” abc7chicago.com/post/chicago...

It’s so beautiful! :)

I nearly sank into my desk, and prepared to burst into tears.

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

Mr. Riley, who in retrospect was a bit of an ass, suddenly looked at me, and said "Mr. Priz, you need to report to the Dean because of those shoes."

(And again, I was a tiny, tiny, freshman put into a Sophomore English class for reasons that still don't make sense to me, and everyone was fairly confused as to why I was there, even a few months into school.)

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

In class, I mostly tried to hide my feet under my backpack.

Most of my teachers, blessedly, pretended not to notice.

Except for Mr. Riley, the assistant basketball coach who also taught sophomore English class.

I distinctly remember, quite ltierally, a pair of fellow students stopping in the hallway and pointing, not so much in mockery (although there was some of that) but mostly in wonder.

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

So off to school I went, with every step I took the shows making a very loud "clomp clomp clomp" sound.

I didn't evne have the sense to, I don't know, stuff them with paper towels or something.

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

They were worn out, and twice the size of my feet. But again- I did not want a detention, as that would make me burst into uncontrollable tears.

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

I found nothing of use, except an old pair of my brothers that, well, the nicest thing you could say about them was that they were black dress shoes.

The Amazing Prizzini @amazingprizzini.bsky.social · 1d

I didn't remember this until the next morning, as I desperately search through the closet for a reaosnable pair of black dress shoes as my brother (my ride, and senior at our HS) gently asked me to put a move on.
