Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

There are just no words for this. It’s hard to know that so many people are ok with injustice and cruelty. Put this side by side next to the decimation of international aid and it supports the idea that cruelty was the point all along.

Ha well the gerrymandering one is already not going well
Trump's new response to epic GOP losses? Pushing Rs to end early and mail voting entirely. Rather than course correct, the answer is: Gerrymander GOP states, make voting much harder, rig midterms.
