National Guard reports to Chicago in case of election unrest

Zombies - Chicago Where the dead walk the earth when it's election day! Gov. J.B. Pritzker has deployed Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago to prepare for potential election-related civil unrest.

Pritzker was asked about the action during his daily briefing in Chicago on the coronavirus pandemic. He downplayed the move and noted the Guard similarly reported to Chicago earlier this year in case of violence during protests.

“We’ve made sure that our National Guard is simply in a state of readiness. We did this back during the few days before the ruling around Breonna Taylor,” Pritzker said, referring to the woman fatally shot by Louisville, Kentucky police during a botched raid in March. “We want to make sure that cities, counties that call upon us for help from the state of Illinois, that we have those resources available to them.”

He did not say how many troops or what equipment was dispatched. Spokeswoman Jordan Abudayyeh didn’t respond to questions posed after the briefing.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot did not request assistance. When asked, spokesman Patrick Mullane pointed to a tweet from the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, which said the city did not seek deployment.

I give the Governor credit for instituting precautions to keep people safe. Lightfoot needs tobe thrown out on her ears.

funny how rioting is threatened in devildemocommiecrat run cities and states. They know violence is their only answer to liberty because they can't overcome liberty so resort to violence and threats seeking to intimidate We the People into bowing to tyranny. I bow ONLY TO JESUS!!!!! I WILL NOT fear violence or threats from evil people. I voted for President Trump and every republican on the ballot in my area.
