Chicago NATO protests, May 17-22, 2012. Part 3: From the Mayor’s door, back to the streets.

Monday, June 4th, 2012

From a march on Mayor Rahm Emanual’s house in Northern Chicago in the early afternoon, we headed back to the streets of Downtown Chicago to catch up with the anti-capitalist march; along which the police tried all day to enforce seemingly arbitrary route closings violently in an attempt to, at first, keep two large marches separated, then later, to keep them heading in the direction they wanted. At one point a large crowd was kettled into an area on Michigan Avenue and brought out the horses, near an entrance to Grant park, however, once again the crowd broke the line with sheer will and mass of bodies, until late into the night. The march finally disband at its own accord after reaching a China Town train station in front of which a police town truck dropped a car which then caught on fire.
