An anti-violence march in Chicago briefly closed Chicago's Lake Shore Drive on Thursday afternoon as protesters demonstrated against the city's spiraling crime crisis and called for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to step down.

A spokesman for Chicago police said Lake Shore Drive was closed for about 35 minutes on Thursday afternoon, as demonstrators marched toward the home of the Cubs, Wrigley Field.

Let's see. Chicago has restrictive gun laws and their crime rate is high. Also, it is not business friendly and many are leaving.

Kept getting breathless alerts from the Chicago Tribune about this protest.  The latest update was they had 150 people total.  Complete failure.
