Firefighters union denied permit to protest during Democratic National Convention – Chicago Sun-Times

Chicago firefighters and paramedics had applied to hold a two-hour march near the United Center on day two of the convention to press their three-year-long demand for a new contract that would include adding 20 ambulances. They've now applied for a second permit to march back and forth along a two-block stretch of Madison Street that spans the Kennedy Expressway, with Chicago police officers furious with the mayor for twice rejecting an independent arbitrator’s ruling on police discipline hearings.

CFD firefighters will be too busy dousing the multiple city blocks aflame from the Democrat’s Brownshirt Army “fiery but mostly peaceful” rioting to take time away for a march and protest. Unlike CTU parasitic slime, firefighters are heroes who put their duty to the city above a contract dispute.

Just make sure none of the Fire Department members throw a root beer at anyone or you will be in big trouble with Kim Foxxx.

I doubt the communist party that says it’s coming will either.
Try “We don’t need any stinking permits!” or there’s going to be a LOT of fires, maybe they could respond half the time and take 2-3 hours!

Better be careful, CFD. It’s not like you can just block traffic and burn the American flag without a permit. Oh, wait…
