The image of 25th Ward Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez was captured at a demonstration against the Democratic National Convention coming to Chicago over what he called its failures to address "the genocide in Gaza" and pursue immigration reform. Sigcho Lopez addressed the crowd while a burned American flag sat on the sidewalk feet away. A photo captured earlier at the demonstration showed an American flag engulfed in flames as people looked on.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

So, the genocide can’t be the issue? The issue must be the style of opposition to it?
Strange forces are taking over our once-proud USA.
Wow. Violence and destruction by the Democrat lunatics nearly five months before the DNC. Imagine how much more violent they will be in August. America needs to watch and see how far off the deep end the Democrat Party has become.
Lopez claims he didn’t see the flag and was just there just to denounce America, Israel and complain about the lack of illegal alien amnesty.
But that’s not what people are seeing. They’re seeing a socialist standing in front of the PLO flag
and the Iraqi flag with a burned American flag near his feet.
This isn’t political opposition.
This is treason.
This is the enemy within.
Who puts these people in office?? They should be deported
