NATO in Chicago ended while the protests against the war raged on the streets. A number of veterans 'returned' the medal in protest of the wars which seem by many as with no clear objectives nor successful plans. No combat troops will be in Afghanistan in the middle of 2013. France by the end of 2012, New Zealand declared to withdraw troops a year ahead of the schedule.
There was another person on the intersection asking for money today. I asked the person who open the window for him what he was selling. "Just for charity" she said.
Later I found it is an act that is called "street solicitation". The Elk Grove village council did take up the issue, and kept a record of the meeting.
Some of the cities in Chicago do prohibit or limit street solicitations. Aurora places partial bans on street solicitations (Charity solicitors hit red lights). Wheeling gives limited permits for charitable organizations to solicit on the street once a year (Wheeling limits streets solicitation to once per year).
