"Capitalism Gives Us Creeps" Halloween March
Starting in Wicker Park just south of Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago, the Semi-Annual "Capitalism Gives Us the Creeps" march wounds its way through Chicago until it ended up at the Federal Prison. I marched along with the Anarchist and Socialist from the starting point until we crossed State and Jackson in the South Loop.
Along the way we picked up a Police escort which threatened to arrest us, and hounded us all the way.
I should point out that the Chicago Police probably have much better things to do than harass some 40 people marching in the street. However, based on what I have leaned since September 23, 2011, the Chicago Police and Chicago's Mayor fear unarmed, peaceful demonstrators more than they fear armed criminals. One has to wonder why that is.
