Chicago’s 1855 ‘Beer Riot’ Is a Bridge to the Unrest of 2020 – Bloomberg

relates to Chicago's 1855 ‘Beer Riot’ Is a Bridge to the Unrest of 2020 The Chicago Tribune: “Who does not know that the most depraved, debased, worthless and irredeemable drunkards and sots which curse the community are Irish Catholics?” the paper asked its readers in 1855. In a 19th century uprising, protesters and police faced off, and the city’s mayor used a downtown bridge for crowd control. Sound familiar? German and Irish immigrants were the trouble. Germans were widely seen as subversive foreigners, the Irish as a distant species of subhuman.

Interesting story. Substitute black for Irish and you have the modern day events. Soros was probably behind it-he made a pact with the devil. You’ll see him on TV 40 years from now and he’ll look exactly the same.
