It's a warning to all those who have been licking their chops regarding the NATO Summit since Chicago was announced as the host city.
I have said this many times and I will say it once more. In the days surrounding this event any and all security will be under direct supervision of the Secret Service. This event is classified as a NSSE or National Special Security Event.
The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designates events of national significance as NSSE based on factors including, but not limited to: anticipated attendance by U.S. officials and foreign dignitaries; the size of the event; and the significance of the event. By statute, the United States Secret Service (USSS) is designated as the lead federal agency for planning, coordinating, and implementing security operations at NSSE. The FY 2012 NSSE Grant Program was developed by FEMA in coordination with USSS.

Everyone has the right to speak and assemble peacefully. Unfortunately, for those people who wish to do so, there are more people who have nefarious intentions that often lead to trouble. One need only look as far as Europe to see that. Many here in the US see this event in Chicago as an opportunity to have their own "European Moment" here in the states. When the start to raise a ruckus, anyone caught in the cross hairs is fair game. That's just how it works when the situation gets ugly.
There is more going on behind the scenes than you may know.

Believe me I didn't intentionally make two threads I only went for the one, I don't know why it came up as two, I wish someone (mods) would combine the two for me. (if that's possible.) It really wasn't intentional.
