3. What are they running from?

Things in Chicago must truly be terrible to cause that many people to run away. Send in the National Guard, ICE, Border Patrol to clean up the streets!

They obviously left their homes with only the clothes on their backs!

Poor people!

6. The Chicago Marathon most certainly happened yesterday.

Whether the pic was from yesterday or last year's event, it matters little other than to distract from the ultimate point of the OP.

EDIT: Here are pages and pages of pics of yesterday's marathon from Getty Images, for anyone that needs them to be able to appreciate the point the OP was making: https://www.gettyimages.com/editorial-images/sport/event/chicago-marathon/776383888?editorialproducts=all

12. Trump Claims Thousands of Chicagoans Were Seen Running for Their Lives Over Weekend

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Justifying his characterization of Chicago as a crime-ridden war zone, Donald J. Trump claimed on Monday that thousands of the city’s residents were seen “running for their lives” over the weekend.

“They were running like dogs,” he said. “You’d run, too, if you were being chased by Antifa.”

Trump said that thousands of people running in the streets was a common occurrence in “Democrat cities,” noting that what happened in Chicago over the weekend has also taken place in New York and Boston.
