    But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

    “I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

    Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

    What did Goone think of the protesters?

    “This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

    Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can’t decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he’s a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I’d wager that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand.

      Life imitates art.
      For most writers a good day is when life and the people they meet allow them to channel Truman Capote. Yesterday, those writers got to channel Douglas Adam’s without even trying.

      Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone’s state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.

      Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

      I love the guy from the suburbs confidently saying “most of Chicago does want this.” Classic.

        I fucking can’t stand suburbanites that act like they know a single fucking thing about Chicago.
