South side protestors are going to disrupt the lives of the north side because they can't keep there own house in order. Unbelievable. Just going to cause more frustration and aggravation and fix absolutely nothing.

DOWNTOWN — Activists plan to shut down both sides of Lake Shore Drive during a march and protest Thursday.

The organizers, led by Rev. Gregory Livingston and anti-violence activist Tio Hardiman, had originally planned to only march along northbound lanes, closing them off. But Hardiman, speaking in a Facebook Live video on Wednesday, said the activists would instead shut down the entire drive before marching to Wrigley Field.

“We’re gonna shut Lake Shore Drive down and get out message out,” Hardiman said.

Hardiman said the organizers will also hold a news conference on Lake Shore Drive and a wheel an empty coffin along the drive.

Organizers hope the protest will “redistribute the pain” felt by South and West side communities to those on the North Side. They want there to be more economic investment and job opportunities outside the North Side, particularly for people of color.

I hear the protest will start North from Hollywood, water on the driving side....

Easy solution to stop these people. You are in a heavier object than what these people weigh. Just saying.

Or, you know, take Marine Drive.

What do you mean by "these people"?

Seriously, do the organizers actually think this will bring any sort of empathy to their cause?

Hopefully, no one gets hurt. I think they might though, this is going to get ugly.

Good for them.

Seems like a miscalculation. I have no problem with the protest, but the "spreading the pain" message never plays well with people (outside of college students, maybe).

That's what I'm getting at....except the idea of protesting on a major traffic artery during rush hour is just an awful idea if you're looking to get outsiders on your side.

Not sure there is one.

This is America in 2018. Nobody is switching sides pal.

Despite all of the ancillary shit, America is still great.

Peeps is correct. This is not about winning anyone over or "raising awareness", its about punishing people. For what? I dont really know.

Pissing people off is a great way to get them to support your cause.

Don't pretend you actually give a shit or that this affects your life. It's summer in Chicago; pretend the Drive's closed there for construction like lots of major thoroughfares are around here this time of year. Or play it in the other direction and muse about how good it would feel to run down a worker.

This is about incensing people they dont like. They're just so stupid that they think all the Trump-supporting Chicagoans are living in Lincoln Park or Lakeview. If they really wanted to punish they people they intend to punish they should have shut down Forest Glen or 111th or something.

Show of hands: who in this thread is going to be physically inconvenienced by this?
