Joe Prich @MrJoePrich 9h · Chicago has to call up their National Guard because today is Mexico's independence day
I'm gonna repeat that
Chicago...like United States Chicago, has to deploy soldiers on their streets because Mexicans are celebrating their independence.....in the United States....by lighting cars on fires and engaging in 60 person brawls
That's how you celebrate Mexico's independence
By lighting a car on fire in a completely different country 1000's of miles from your beloved homeland
Then what's Cinco de Mayo?
Battle of Puebla. Big battle, part of their revolutionary war. Against the French. (Washington crossed the Delaware to kill German mercenaries, so ... same deal, just French.) Small to zero celebration in Mexico. Big marketing thing here.
