Look, I get it. There are very large numbers of people here in Illinois, and the whole country, who are really, really tired of wearing a mask. It's completely understandable.

What isn't quite so understandable is deciding the best way to show your displeasure is by throwing bricks at store windows.

I've never been there myself, but after reading this description of the Wieners Circle, it's definitely on my Illinois food joint bucket-list (Wikipedia):

It is known for its Maxwell Street Polish, Char-dogs, hamburgers, cheese fries, and the mutual verbal abuse between the employees and the customers during the late-weekend hours. Larry Gold, one of the proprietors, called a drunk and distracted customer an "asshole" in order to get his attention. This set off the late-night abuse culture of the restaurant. The atmosphere can range from playful to hostile.

That's what happened Wednesday night in Chicago:
