Hello, old friends. It's been a minute.
I assume you all know what's happening today? The Chicago copper may or may not be found guilty of any degree of murder. A guy may or may not be selected to be a Supreme Court judge. And either way this one or that goes, we all may be fu**ed.
If you're in Chicago, get out of town. The judge won't give the decision of the jury until Tuesday because why let the city burn to the ground over the weekend when it can be done after Columbus Day, on Tuesday?
The city will riot. It will no be a peaceful protest. It will go boom quicker than the Cubs being removed from the playoffs.
This weekend, schools will be closed for Tuesday and Wednesday. Business will board up their windows and doors. At noon on Tuesday, the streets will be as packed as the roadways of the East coast filled with folks trying to escape the upcoming hurricane. At 5 PM, Chicago will be remanant of the child peacefully sleeping in her bed waiting for Saint Nicholas to arrive.
And then the s**t storm will arrive. It will be those who are upset the verdict wasnt strict enough. Or those who feel it was too much. Either way this goes, this city will riot.
They will say he was doing his job. They will say he was no threat. They will say the result was based on the color of his skin. They will say the result was based on the color of the others skin. They will say they demand justice. They will say the system is broke.
And they will be right. No matter which they, they are.
Its 10 am on the Friday before The Windy City disappeared.
Rest easy.
