The Black Friday Shut Down was one of the left’s most successful direct actions in a recent memory. And it couldn’t have happened without the help of President Barack Obama and his former chief of staff, current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel.

In an interview published November 25, actress Angela Bassett suggested some Chicago leaders are having trouble with Spike Lee’s film Chi-Raq because they are embarrassed by the gun violence in their city.

In an interview with Chicago magazine, director Spike Lee described Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as a “bully” over the mayor’s alleged attempts to censor an upcoming film about Chicago’s gun violence and black-on-black crime.

The city of Chicago has some of the most stringent gun controls in America. And as of June 9, it has also had over 1,000 shootings already this year.

Over the Memorial Day Weekend in heavily gun controlled Chicago, 12 persons were killed and “at least” 43 were wounded in shootings across the city.
