Protest away

As protestors hit the streets of Chicago they fail to realize that the only ones interested in what they are doing is the media.  NATO leaders, Obama, the Mayor and Governor have more important things on their mind then what protestors think, want or do.   For the most part, leaders are shielded from seeing or coming in contact with protestors.  News media are there to pick up a breaking news story, hopefully one that will have blood and guts in it. 

The protestors seem to forget that Chicago is now the home of protestors; everyone and everything is protested in Chicago, it is a every day occurrence, nothing new.

If there is something to protest, it is protested in Chicago.  City does what City has to do, police do what police have to do and the in my own world protestors do what they have to do.  Nothing is ever fixed or changed because of these protests, mental health centers are still being closed, shootings are still happening, city is still spending money they do not have, state is still doing what they have done over and over for years and years.
