"As recently as 2024, gangs were seen as part of the problem, and rightly so," Leo continued. "However, Chicago is their home, too. They saw how it was slipping away from them. This is how they became like the rest of us."

🏍️ Lieutenant Terry Leo is telling the Chicagoans present at the Obama Presidential Library how life was in Chicago as late as 2024. He's also telling them how negative changes to Chicago affected even the gangs which-- until then-- were wreaking havoc in the city.

"Due to the failures coming from City Hall," said Leo, "we were losing control of OUR CITY to people who have no business being here. Unlike most of us, the gangs decided to do something about it. Today we saw what they can do."

🏍️ Terry Leo tells the people how their lives had changed during the early 2020s. Like most major cities in the United States, the people of Chicago are known for being both hard-nosed yet compassionate. That compassion was put to the test in the early 2020s when actual illegal aliens and de facto illegal aliens were receiving government benefits both citizens and legal residents were told were unavailable to them. Exacerbating this unfairness was the rate at which these illegal aliens (actual and de facto) were being plopped and airdropped into Chicago courtesy of the federal government. Mayors during the early 2020s had earned dismal approval ratings in part because of how they handled the influx of illegal aliens into Chicago. This carried over into the world as presented by GHAWG and Rat Bike. The residents of Chicago still think of themselves as compassionate people, but they had to be reminded that a major component of compassion is fairness.

"My fellow Chicagoans," said Leo, "the current City Hall caused this problem. It lacks the vision to solve it. You see what can be done to solve it. I see what can be done to solve it. As your mayor, I will help you solve it."

🏍️ Terry Leo had stated his case for being elected mayor of Chicago. Although the election is over a year in the future, it never hurts to begin campaining as early as possible in order to gain both traction and name recognition with potential voters. In a city where Republicans of any kind are as rare as blue lions, Terry Leo takes advantage of every possible opportunity to keep his name in the public's consciousness. After the events of this day, Terry Leo will become a national figure.

"Do something different & give the other guy a chance. You already know how it turns out with the same people doing the same things. You deserve better, and it starts by giving the other guy a chance. This guy," concluded Leo.

🏍️ Terry Leo will be known by voters for two catch phrases or two slogans: "Do something different" and "Give the other guy a chance." In a Democrat-run city whose last Republican mayor was elected in 1931, both slogans take on a new meaning for the people of Chicago in 2028 and beyond.

The crowd assembled at the Obama Presidential Library broke into thunderous applause because Terry Leo's words resonated with everyone present who also lives in Chicago. It was at that moment I felt moved to deliver a message.

🏍️ Until this moment, David Guardia thought his role was to save the life of the gang leader we know as Emilio Ibáñez and to allow rival gang leader Luther "Big Lu" Jackson bear witness to what was happening. Once Terry Leo finished his brief speech, David recived the sign from The Lord that he was to speak in His name to the people assembled.

I motioned for Felix Legion to ride toward the podium. Once we were close enough, I dismounted my Harley-Davidson tri-cycle. As I walked I noticed an older woman and the 2 gang leaders from earlier along with Lieutenant Leo.

🏍️ Felix Legion is reunited in time to escort David Guardia to the podium where he was to deliver prophecy to everyone present. Although he himself doesn't know the names of the new characters introduced for Interlude 4, David would be close to Emilio Ibáñez, Luther Jackson, and Mrs. Hernandez. Terry Leo, of course, would still be near the podium.

"If I may," I said to Lt. Leo & the others assembled at the podium. They made space for me, and I took the microphone. Nearby was Aníbal Rivera with is crew recording everything. Then I began to speak. "Good people of Chicago."
https://inleo.io/threads/view/magnacarta/re-magnacarta-xdwyspys
🏍️ Independent journalist Aníbal Rivera, with help from his production team, captured on video the speech Terry Leo gave a short time earlier. Now he was about to see David the Prophet in action. In some way, Rivera knew history was being made this day. He was going to make sure he had a record of it both for his own purposes as well as for posterity.

Story Arc So Far
Terry Leo, a lieutenant in the Chicago Police Department Auxiliary, gave a brief speech at the Obama Presidential Library to the assembled mass of his fellow Chicagoans. He told it like it was as he reminded the people that his is a candidate for mayor in the upcoming election. Elsewhere, Felix Legion was riding circles around the interlopers dressed in black bloc. Once Terry Leo addressed his (he hopes) potential voters, David Guardia was prompted by The Lord to give his prophecy for the people of Chicago, its government officials, and the interlopers intending to wreak havoc on that day.
With the Route 66 storyline concluded, Act 7 comes to a close and Interlude 4 begins immediately. Interlude 4 takes place in just 1 day, but it's a day featuring history in the making. Introduced in Interlude 4 are gang leaders Emilio Ibáñez and Luther "Big Lu" Jackson, Lieutenant Terry Leo of the Chicago Police Department Auxiliary, and Mrs. Hernandez.
