Mr. Diaz, the protest was over by the time this occurred. You conflate the peaceful, law-abiding protest and the incident carried out by anarchists. Your caption is not true, according to the Chicago Breaking News blog.

Apparently the guy posting this photo has no journalistic standards (I real problem with getting ones "news" from blogs.) This banner incident happened at Daley Plaza. The rally was on LaSalle outside City Hall. The official rally program was over by 6:30. This arrest took place over an hour after the rally ended.

Six people were arrested. This guy may be one of them
Never a good place to be either
