    But Larry Goone, 59, saw the immigration officers and protesters differently. He was riding an electric fat-tire bike to the lakeshore when he came across them.

    “I saw these [officers] being completely heckled on the river and I just yelled out to them, ‘Hey, I appreciate what you’re doing,’ because most of Chicago does want this,” said Goone, a suburbanite who works in casino marketing. “These people just are doing their jobs.”

    Goone praised the officers for going after “illegals for coming here illegally.”

    What did Goone think of the protesters?

    “This here is organized by George Soros and antifa, and I wouldn’t doubt that half are being paid to protest,” Goone speculated without any evidence. “I don’t understand what they’re doing.”

    Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can’t decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he’s a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I’d wager that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand.
