<p>Demonstrators protesting against gun violence shut down northbound traffic on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago, Illinois, on July 7 by marching across all lanes.</p><p>Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner criticized the protest</a>, saying: “We had clear parameters that allowed the protestors to be heard while respecting law and order. Instead, they chose instead to cause chaos.”</p><p>Rauner, a Republican, went onto say that he was “disappointed” in the city’s mayor, Democrat Rahm Emanuel. “There was an agreement in place. I am calling on the Mayor to take swift and decisive action to put an end to this kind of chaos. I will work with him in good faith and urge him to do his job so that the people of Chicago feel safe.”</p><p>However, one of the organizers of the event, Father Michael Pfleger, denied</a> that any agreement had been made to ensure protesters kept to the shoulder of expressway.
