In the quiet suburb of Tinley Park, Illinois, a shocking incident unfolded and left the nation reeling.
On September 11th, 2023, a group of anti-Trump radicals, self-proclaimed communists, staged an unlawful assembly outside a concert by country music star Jason Aldean.
Their actions, which included burning American flags while police watched, sparked widespread outrage and reignited debates about patriotism, freedom of speech, and the state of our nation.
The instigator of this inflammatory act was one Rafael Kadaris, a Marxist agitator who had flown in from Berkeley, California.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Kadaris brazenly taunted Aldean and the American public, vowing to repeat such acts in small towns and big cities alike. His audacious claim that Americans have been ‘brainwashed’ against communism has only added fuel to the fire.

This incident occurred against the backdrop of Aldean’s new single release, “Try That in a Small Town.”
The song, accompanied by a video, resonates with the frustration many conservatives feel toward the actions of leftists in the country. As the video soared to number one on iTunes, it became a rallying cry for conservatives across the nation, further infuriating the left.
During the protest, a police officer declared the gathering an “unlawful assembly” for disturbing public peace.
He warned the protestors they would be arrested if they did not disperse and even hinted at the use of chemical tactics, presumably tear gas. Despite these warnings, the crowd only dispersed after the flags were reduced to ashes.
55k thousand people live in Tinley Park.
lmao that is not a “small town” Its a small city in a blue state.
Come on down to a red state and a town with sub 10k people in it. See how this goes.

As they marched away from the scene, the protestors chanted slogans that were as disturbing as their actions.
Their chants of “1, 2, 3, 4, slavery, genocide, and war! 5, 6, 7, 8, America was never great!” were a chilling reminder of the deep divisions that exist within our society.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that the greatest threats to America often come from within.
It is a wake-up call for all Americans who value their freedom and their country. The actions of these radicals are not just an attack on a symbol of our nation, but an attack on the values we hold dear.
As we move forward, it is crucial that we stand united against such acts of disrespect and hatred. We must remember that our strength lies in our love for this great nation.
