Hundreds of Democrats marched through Chicago’s Loop Saturday calling for the end to the capitalist system and threatening more street violence if their demands aren’t met.
“The only solution is communist revolution! That’s why we need Communism. That’s why we need that!” said a rally organizer. “The system is racist. We’ve got to bring it to the ground and bury it.”
Independent Journalist Brendan Gutenschwager chronicled the “Stop White Supremacy Response to the Rittenhouse Verdict” on Twitter.
“We are criminalized for calling for love, for calling for justice, for calling for peace,” said another. “We take the streets! We fuck shit up!”
“A white person goes across state lines and kills folks. He is found not guilty. How are you not guilty?,” she said.
“Out of your homes and into the streets,” the crowd chanted. “I believe that we will win.”
The protest was organized by Black Lives Matter Chicago, the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CARPR) and Indivisible Chicago South Side, which promoted the event on their Facebook pages.
“We will be out in the streets this coming Saturday to demand an end to the white supremacist injustice system that enables killers like Rittenhouse while survivors of police torture and abuse remain contained behind prison walls.” Indivisible wrote.
“Justice for Jacob Blake! For Joseph Rosenbaum! For Anthony Huber!,” wrote CARPR.
On Friday, Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker mourned the deaths of Huber and Rosenbaum, a convicted child molestor who anally raped and performed oral sex on five boys aged 9-11.
