tanks for popping by ,,independence was won by the masses rising up against evil.. historically tanks have played a big part in liberating/freeing millions I don't see why people have a strong response to trump tanks but not Obama's jet fighters doing fly overs..or massive firework displays..personally I would be in favor of spending that money elsewhere..like hiring more police, or putting air conditioning in all the schools. can you imagine trying to learn calculus when the heat index is approaching 100. God bless.. Have a nice holiday weekend..thank a soldier if you get an opportunity.seriously these guys/gals put their butts on the daily. they don't get much credit..some even get spit on Anthony Anthony

Right! As if Europe under Hitler would ever have been freed with balloons and squirt guns. Heard about the violence in Chicago this holiday...sorry to hear. The PD have their hands tied. Thus goofs do as they dang well please. Criminals rights trump anyone's right in Chicago... You need an Eastwood there. Big car, big gun..afraid to use neither,)) Panagiota

Chicagoans kill about 600-800 of their own every year 500 during a peaceful year. Not so long ago the police did crime sweeps throughout the city... but the P.C police etal cried profiling so that was that. Under Clinton he had a three felonies and you do life..since 95 percent of the crimes are committed by 5 percent of the people. sounded like a good idea but I don't think they have that anymore..permissive laws equal increases in crime have a nice holiday..stay away from city parking garages lots of drunks and druggies doing their thing in isolated parts of the garages..even forest preserves are becoming unsafe.. Bless you and yours anthony
