Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
NO SYMPATHY, NO EXCUSES!
Right is right!
Wrong is wrong!
No right wingers from 2nd amendment havens? Huh. . .
The Tribune’s headline was an obvious and cheap attempt to deflect blame away from the black community. Nobody from Englewood, eh? Maybe not but I watch a lot of the videos of the looting last Monday morning. Not a white face to be seen amongst the thugs. Tribune and its writers are nothing but a bunch of liberal suck-asses.
Absolutely spot on. The headline is propaganda bias worthy of Joseph Goebbels.
What the Heck ,right in front of our Eyes,
Militant Blacks and Whites are given Pritzger and Lightfoots blessing to Riot, or put another way TRAIN on the Dan Ryan 8-15-20
Something is really wrong with this picture!
“ties to Englewood”
How about “ties to Communist China”?
That is where this whole thing really goes.
And Kim Foxx’s “no consequences to lawless rioting and looting” has now sucked in otherwise law-abiding and innocent people. Of course they should rot in prison for decades but her inaction has led directly to this behavior.
