Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters are expected to gather in Chicago during the Democratic National Convention, prompting concerns about violence and looting. Authorities are bracing for potential unrest, with some businesses boarding up windows and doors. The city has denied permit requests for stages and sound systems in a large park near the convention site, sparking criticism from protest organizers. Despite this, protest groups have received concessions from the city, including stages, sound systems, and portable toilets.
