Robin Hoods Kayak River to Take Back Chicago

While the Take Back Chicago protests culminated with Monday's march to the Art Institute's Modern Wing, a smaller, more creative protest occurred a couple of days before then.

40 protestors dressed as Robin Hood paddled kayaks down the Chicago River. Once they reached the Michigan Avenue Bridge they unfurled a banner that read “Wall Street: Steals from the 99%. Gives to the Rich. Let’s take it back!” Pretty sweet. Although Robin Hood was one of those damned capitalist-hating commie pinko bastards.
