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
I live in the city. Saw some cars with Mexican flags, nothing too crazy. Maybe Pilsen or Little Village is rock'n?
Edit: So 6 hours later from my earlier post.... Coming home from a friends' anniversary and the entire Loop, downtown highways, West Loop River West and River North neighborhoods are a shit show. Took me an hour to drive what would normally be a 10 minute drive. Vehicles with Mexican flags basically gridlocked the City tonight.
