Chicago Alderman Chased From Town Hall Meeting 2009-08-17

admin — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 21:54:15 +0000

(Note: This video shows the mob chase after Alderman Shiller gave a brief press conference. See her full press conference at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryHfPTv26CA ) What you see her is an angry mob of Uptowners chasing 46th Ward Ald. Helen Shiller (”progressive” Democrat”) from a 2016 chicago olympics meeting with residents of the Uptown neighborhood. The Olympics story, however, takes the back burner to the Shiller story. The vast majority of the signs in front of the meeting facility had nothing to do with the Olympics. Instead, most of those in attendance were protesting Shiller’s alleged disinterest in cleaning up crime in one of the north side’s most violent neighborhoods. This rivals many of the recent rowdy town hall meetings held by members of Congress in August, 2009.

Full Length! Ald. Helen Shiller Mob Chase, Press Conference, Olympics Town Hall, 2009-08-17

admin — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 21:54:11 +0000

This incident rivals many of the recent rowdy town hall meetings held by members of Congress in August, 2009. This full-length version shows the entire press conference of Chicago Alderman Helen Shiller PLUS the full, subsequent chase by angry constituents. Shiller (Democrat, 46th Ward) was at a 2016 chicago olympics meeting at Truman College, along with residents of the Uptown neighborhood. While some of the 150 or so of her constituents were protesting the 2016 Olympics, most were there to protest Shiller for allegedly not taking enough action against the high rate of violent crime in her ward. The Olympics meeting was ho-hum and really not notable. Shiller’s press conference, however, and the amazing scene afterwards of angry voters chasing her from the building eclipses the Olympics meeting.
