    1. Those kinds of comments, Chris, do little to change the dialogue. Violence, looting, rioting perpetrated by anyone is WRONG. One-sided statements would be included in that list and, on their own, do their own damage to the cause of anyone who wishes to assemble peaceably. Someday, Chris, I hope you see your way clear to, once again, embrace The UNITED States of America.

    2. John P. Niether does letting it happen, which is what Hoggset did before, and is letting hsppen again. He should lead, stand for protecting those businesses. They should have been reassured IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN. but no, he hides and waits for whatever happens, happens.

    1. They are full of trash thanks to a careless population. Also, the mayor isn’t responsible for trash on the highways. The mayor isn’t responsible for the boarding up either. That’s happening in every city across the country due to the angry orange man.

    2. ooooooo…orange man bad! Wesley your TDS is really getting worse. if he wins – what country are you moving to? just curious…

  1. FACT: Radical leftists unchecked by Boss Hogsett are the reason for the destruction, filth, and fear downtown.

    No one is boarding up businesses out of fear of conservatives.

  2. “I think it’s a visible representation of some of the some of the feelings that our country is is trying to process right now,” Barker said.

    What an absurd statement. The businesses are not doing this as a “visible representation” to “process feelings”. They are boarding up their businesses to try and protect their livelihoods. They clearly remember last May when the Mayor and IMPD failed to protect their businesses. They can’t count on the City so they have to take matters into their own hands.

  3. Hey everyone, cities across the country are boarding up! Is it Mayor Hogsett’s fault that every city across the country is boarding up? No, it’s a national problem. Who do we normally blame for national problems when they’ve controlled the country for four years? Oh yeah, that’s right. The President. Don’t worry, at least he’ll be gone soon, and all of you have committed to not rioting when he loses. Guess there’s nothing to worry about.

    1. Republican led cities are not boarded up.
      Why are only democrat run cities with democrat appointed police departments boarded up?
      Mayor Joe has abandoned the IMPD he appointed and the citizens who elected him.
      Is that what a leader does?

  4. Most of the comments made here seem like projection. It just might be the culmination of all of the actions and rhetoric that made the occupant of the White House feel like erecting an unscalable wall was reasonable. I don’t really remember ever needing something like that for the last the several administrations. Maybe it is something particular to this administration?
