A Communist revolutionary group burned American flags and chanted anti-US slogans during a disturbing staged protest outside a Jason Aldean concert in Chicago on Saturday night.
Around 20 Communists belonging to Revolution Club Chicago assembled outside Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in Tinley Park, shouting phrases like “F–k the US and all its might” as they torched the flags, according to the video shared by News2Share.
The group was also filmed taking jabs at Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town,” labeling the Georgia-born artist’s song “a piece of fascist s–t.”
“Guess what, Jason? We will try that in a small town,” activist Rafael Kadaris, a California resident who flew out to the Windy City to take part in the protest, told the Chicago Tribune.
“We will try that in a big city. And we will try it right in front of your concert.”
As members of the Revolution Club burned Old Glory, law enforcement quickly descended on the protest, announcing by megaphone that the group was an “unlawful assembly” and concert-goers were “alarmed and disturbed” by their presence, the video shows.
“You are disturbing the public peace without the authority of law,” a Tinley Park police officer told the group through a bullhorn over their chants.
“We are ordering you to immediately disperse. Failure to comply can result in chemical or less legal conditions being deployed,” the officer warned the group, who cheered at the officer’s ultimatum.
