Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “Census Cowboy” is being charged with animal cruelty and his horse euthanized after riding his horse down a major expressway as part of a social justice protest.
The protest ride seriously injured the horse, forcing veterinarians to put it to sleep.
“Adam Hollingsworth, 33, was held on $25,000 bond during a court appearance Wednesday after he was charged with a felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal, as well as misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct, trespassing and other traffic offenses,” local TV station WTTV reports.
Despite being charged with various crimes, including animal cruelty, Hollingsworth says he would do it again in the name of social justice.
“Would I do it again? Yes, I’d do it again,” he tells WTTR. “I’ve been in jail, I had a background, I’m not perfect … That was something worth going to jail for.”
Hollingsworth rode his horse at full gallop down the Dan Ryan Expressway to promote the “Kids Lives Matter” movement, which calls for more social spending on children’s programs.
Riding a horse at full gallop on hard pavement can seriously injure it. When the horse’s hooves began to break and bleed from the abuse, Hollingsworth began whipping and kicking it harder.
At this point, local police had been forced to block the expressway and follow Hollingsworth, who was illegally riding in traffic during the afternoon rush hour.
The horse eventually collapsed, and could not be saved. Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Deboni says due to severe blood loss and dehydration, “the horse’s eyes were dilated to the point they looked like cartoon eyes.”
Hollingsworth is known as the “Census Cowboy” after being hired by Lightfoot to promote Census participation. Census numbers are used to determine congressional representation and federal aid, so liberal politicians and groups have been heavily urging urban residents to be counted.
During a July 13 press conference, Lightfoot put on a bright green cowboy hat announced she was “calling out the ‘Census Cowboy’” to round up Chicago residents, telling Hollingsworth to ride his horse into urban areas to draw attention and promote participation. Hollingsworth is being paid for the program, but not through tax dollars, according to Lightfoot’s office.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
Your protest means NOTHING. To make one point , you killed an innocent horse. That negates you first protest .You should have to run barefoot down a sharp rock quarry.
The “Census Cowboy” is an absolute IDIOT and should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN OR HAVE POSSESSION OF A HORSE! He made fools of himself & Mayor Lightfoot for her encouragement of this event. They should both be charged with CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!
The anus has 4 more horses. How does this lowlife afford to keep them? They should be taken away to a sanctuary immediately.
THEY NEED TO BE PLACED IN A PROTECTED PLACE AT ONCE!!!!!!!
Democrats are always exempt
Be receiving bribes from globalist puppet $oro$ to preach all the globalist agendas .
Census Cowboy was charged with animal cruelty among other offenses. The animal cruelty charge is a felony which, if convicted, will result in the loss of his gun rights and loss of voting rights. And hopefully loss of his freedom for a LONG time.
What a sick way to gain attention? This nut job needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The horse was a victim in a pathetic prank. Anyone with the least amount of sense could have known the outcome.
In the real world, yeah. But that’s Chicago. He could end up being the next Mayor with those credentials.
As much as I dislike your comment, I begrudgingly live in Chicago, and unfortunately your comment may be true. I’m like a unicorn in this city, conservative to the core.
No matter what you have to do, get out of that city before it becomes Sodom and Gomorrah.
Sad but true.
This is America
This is Illinois
If this is indeed a “felony,” this scumbag will plead down to a misdemeanor offense.
This is America…. nobody is ever punished for the ACTUAL crime they committed!!!
It’s always a lesser offense.
It’s CHICAGO, Kim Foxx will probably DROP all charges against him. Just like she did with Jussie Smollett. Despite all the video and his own comments, she’ll claim there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute him.
Don’t forget census cowgirl is a globalist puppet $oro$, puppet libby snow flake and globalist puppet barry soetoro appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all their criminals .
You seem to for get that this happen in Chicago, and ordinary person has any gun rights in that enlightened city, lead by exceptional idiots.
And, as far as Child lives matter, those idiots think the answer to everything is throwing more money at it. That mayor could save a lot of children simply by closing a few of those abortion mills. Or how about fining or imprisoning men not supporting their children? Oh! Right. that might be considered cruel and inhumane punishment.
Totally agree. Very well said.
It would be because they might have to find real jobs to pay what they owe.
Lightfoot should be prosecuted also for animal cruelty.
Some mayor she is!
He should be made to run over a gravel road Barefoot till he couldn’t run any more and then made to stand on a salt block for a day or until he passed out
His legs need to be remove so he can NEVER walk again!!
They euthanized the wrong animal.
I have a wooden sign on the wall in my office that says, All Animals and Pets are Welcome, Humans Must be on a leash
I agree with you. I love animals more than I do humans. Humans are just plain stupid.
Many so called Humans are More Animal than anything You’d find in a Zoo!
Do not insult animals…these people ARE extraterrestrial “aliens” in the true sense…probably illegal too…
The Zoo has a fence, or wall, around it to keep the animals OUT!
Those that tend to the “left” do appear to have a secure “lock” on stupidity….
Well said….
AMEN !!!!!
Bravo
Excellent — True and to the point! Thanks CaptTurbo.
They sure did. So damn sad.
What pisses me off is they keep voting these idiots in office. How stupid can some people be. Now an innocent animal had to suffer for them and they have no concerns for that animal because he said he’d do it again. Can’t we just shoot these fools.
An EYE FOR AN EYE should be his punishment!
I’d gladly swing the sledgehammer! Ten to twelve smacks on each foot should do the trick. You hold him down for me Joe.
Abusing an animal, especially to the point of having to put it out of its misery, to protest not enough spending on children is something only a MORON would do. I hope the “Census Cowboy” is forced to pay for every dime the city had to shell out for this guy’s “stunt”. I think EVERYONE who was harmed in any way by this clown should sue him. That includes those who had to sit in traffic while this idiot ran his horse to death on the freeway. Moreover, why aren’t the animal rights groups up in arms about this?
This guy is a leftist. My guess most aimal rights groups are also. They shouldn’t be but they are. Therefore they won’t condemn another leftist. There will be some excuse for this crap.
I guess the question was more of a rhetorical one but you are absolutely right, the left will overlook even the most heinous behavior if it is from the left.
I’m sure they will be . Especially the ASPCA ,and the people that support permanent homes for horses and animals . The ASPCA might burn him a new arse ,and should do the same for Lesbian Lightfoot.
They want to talk about REPARATIONS for their ancestors slavery… let’s talk reparations for that poor HORSE.
C
This is disgusting. This was not an innocent protest! He murdered an innocent animal!
And worse, ZERO remorse for harming the horse! He openly bragged that he would do it again. I read somewhere that he has four other horses, all of which should be taken from him and put up for adoption by people who will care for them properly rather than abuse them for some radical left wing stunt.
Was too stupid,ignorant and cheap to properly shoe the poor horse should be horse whipped before being put in jail. This guy is sick, probably peddles the kids to peddies if he iswilling to do this to a horse?
Leave it to the liberals!! They’ll figure out a way to get what they want regardless of how ignorant or inhuman it is!
The COWBOY gives imbalances a bad name!
Let’s take his boots off and make him run down the same highway whipping him all the while!
Liberals are all such idiots.
I love cowboys — this creep is NOT one!
the horse is worth more then you or the alleged mayor
He should be euthanized.
SUPPORT THE LOCAL PIG FARMER !!!
If hes so gun ho on his movement, why doesn’t he RUN down the expressway bare footed full speed instead of forcing his poor horse to do his running!
Guess horse’s lives don’t matter.
What a freaking dumb ass. Kill a poor defenseless animal to prove what? This is how psychopaths act and is typical of democrats. This man should be drawn and quartered in front of the whole country.
With a CHAINSAW!
The asinine piss poor excuse of a mayor should be locked up with that stupid census boy also. Nothing on this earth is worse than an animal abuser and their accomplice.
Better yet just shoot the pieces of shit.
Shit is useful to fertilize land and grow crops. The census cowboy and mayor are poison that destroy and kill.
The treatment an unborn child gets in the womb is worse. It is so strange that “human beings” don’t understand that.
Very obvious that liberals care nothing about babies OR animals!
What an idiot! To torture his horse as a political stunt.
That’s OK though mayor lightbrain will have him off
with a couple hours of community service.
Mayor Lightfoot should go to jail.
I think mayor lighthead should be forced to ride Cowboy down the highway until his feet break and bleed then he should ride her back. Then give them both the same fate the horse was given.
Protesting while you ride an innocent animal to death. Disgusting! The Mayor of Chicago should be ashamed.
The biOtch should be arrested for cruelty to animals.
The Horse was innocent life. The Fool riding it to death violated the trust the Horse had in him. That criminal, vile act in the name of Social Justice only shows the vile, uncaring attitude of this POS and the movement he purports to represent. There is no punishment harsh enough to deal with the suffering and death of innocent life. To make matters even more cruel and depraved, he says he would do it again.
cowboy is the one that should have been put down!!!!! he sounds as crazy as piglosser!!!!!!
NEVER DOES HE NEED TO OWN ANOTHER ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am thinking this idiot should have been the one “Put Down”
This POS needs to have his ass nailed to the jailhouse wall. He is one sick-o!
Mayor Frankenstein and her animal abuser idiot need a very long prison term.
Shame on the people of Chicago for electing this monster.
There are over 2.5 million people in Chicago who obviously just do not give a damn who runs that city. They always elect the worst politicians. This is just another example of a city that does not give a shit. This guy should have been arrested for killing that horse. The mayor should have been removed months ago. The greatest image I have of Chicago is having it in my rearview mirror. A never ending story of corruption.
The guy was arrested and charged with several felonies.
Curse this brutal sociopath and Lightfoot as well.
Lock him up and throw away the key!!!!!
THIS IDIOT IS LUCKY I WASNT DRIVING MY SEMI THROUGH CHITCAGO THEN BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BLOCKED THE FREEWAY OFF,YANKED HIS DUMBARSE OFF THE HORSE AND GIVEN HIM A SEVERE BEATING UNTIL POLICE PULL ME OFF !!!
” would he do it again?”…. “Yes, I would do it again!”…. Part of the Punishment for this case of animal cruelty, should be that he should NEVER again be allowed Pets of any sort, not even a goldfish…. and since Extreme animal cruelty is now a federal offense…. That could conceivably happen…. And wouldn’t that be just Grand !
I totally agree; the perpetrator should be attached to a rope and run down a highway until his eyes bug out!….
The so called democrats prove once again that they will hurt anyone including animals to do what they want to do. Anyone that hurts children and animals is the worst kind of human.
Hey PETA!!! Where the hell are you? Or because this asshat is a DEMOCOMMUNIST, the cruelty doesn’t fit your “agenda???
Hey, cliff, I live near PETA headquarters and called to leave a message. I suggested they write an open letter to Mayor Lightfoot since she was instrumental in getting that horrible creature to do this stunt. We’ll see how they respond.
This clown ought to be horsewhipped!
I would like to see Justice served for the sake of the Poor Horse. And not a slap on this morons wrists.
He would do it again. This census cowboy should be ordered to hand over all of his animals and also that he would no longer be able to own another animal or care for another animal. This is far too abusive.
Nobody but nobody should cause injury to an animal. He rode for a good cause children’s lives do matter. Your horse is supposed to be treated like they’re important to you not like they’re replaceable. I hope he gets the stiffest sentence the judge can deliver. I hope the judge has no mercy on him because he has no mercy on the horse.
Make Hollingsworth run down the thruway (with a cattle prod to keep him moving if necessary). Then, when he collapses, euthanize him.
enough time to wipe these social justice pos off the map
If i had been there i would have rode “the mare” to death.
Per the Chicago Tribune, the animal was not euthanized. It is recovering on a local farm…pictures included on their website. That in no way excuses what this animal did to his horse. Someone should tie him to the back of a car, barefoot, with a gorilla strapped to his back armed with a whip and run him down the highway until he collapses. That would be justice.
This animal abuser needs to have his title officially changed from Census Cowboy to “SENSELESS COWBOY!”
Would he do it again? Yes. His horse, however, won’t. What a JERK.
horse lives matter🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐄
4 more horses?…then just maybe they should see who in Chicago dark alleys is paying this piece of trash…Taxpayers? Lightfoot say no….but someone should investigate and I bet they would find differently.
He needs to be dragged down the Dan Ryan behind a truck
Captain Turbo got it right!!! They euthanized the wrong animal. jwstx
Funny, I was just thinking today just how deranged these bureaucrats at the census bureau truly are!
I volunteered to be an enumerator this year and truly wish I wouldn’t have! These communist in charge of the local census here are total tyrants, they are constantly threatening us with our jobs demanding excellence, when these incompetent communist give us a POS to work with!
I now am more convinced that 75% of these worthless communist bureaucrats should be terminated immediately!
We owe the horse 10,000 years of progress for man. Without them we would still be clubbing rabbits and living in caves. Here in Texas we feed out horses before we eat our meal. jwstx MAGA GBA
You want social justice? How about you put yourself out of our misery, leave the horses out of it. You are a fool and not worth our time. Everything the left accuses us of, is exactly what they are guilty of. They’ve become the Nazis. They are using Joseph goebbels tactics.
Will this POS get a free pass because he’s a demwit?????
Let’s see if the mostly democrat animal rights people put their money where their mouths are.
They would if this POS was a republican!!!!!!
This guy is not civilized and should be treated as such – flogging or caning til his eyes are out of their socket. I will hug my dogs extra long tonight and pray for the horse’s soul. Lori should be punished also.
Hollingsworth is black….
Nothing will happen to him….guaranteed
This is false. Nunu is not dead, he is in a vet’s care and doing quite well.

While I live in the West, if I knew how to access this asshole I’d go to Chicago and shoot him in both feet with my 38. I can’t imagine what he did to that poor horse. And then I’d do the same for Lightfoot. What the hell is wrong with the idiots in Chicago for electing that broad?
Will Lightfoot also be charged? Oh silly me, she’s a Dem so no charges will be filed. That poor horse has my heart. I wish we could make this idiot walk on glass will he bled to death. Please don’t let him get by with this, and charge her too. This has to stop.
I’m trying to figure how the left will be able to blame this on Trump…
Easy. They will say if Trump wasn’t President and eating children for breakfast this wouldn’t have been necessary.
I hope that cretin is convicted, and then gets repeatedly raped in prison.
Life experience has taught me that animals usually have more morality and integrity that many humans, especially domesticated animals.
Typical liberal Democrat specially pro beetle juice pedophiles
Didn’t Jesus say that whatever you do to the least of these my creatures you do to me?
There are no words for such STUPIDITY AND NEGLECT OF A LIVING CREATURE. I understand Mr. Cowboy owns more horses — he should be found guilty of animal cruelty, fined and charged so he can NEVER EVER even be around another animal again. As for this Mayor – she needs to be relived of her duties as Mayor, fined for just hiring this idiot and never hold another public office again. HORRIBLE!!!! HORRIBLE!!!! HORRIBLE!!!!
Hey piece of shit, you killed an innocent horse, you are social justice moron
Lori Lightfoot is the criminal here. Lightfoot has incited many, many criminal and destructive actions. She is responsible for the death of this horse.
They put the WRONG animal down. He said he would ride it until it died, well, he succeeded in THAT mission. How do you justify hurting something to save something else??? Trying to talk sense to Liberals is like banging your head against a wall, BOTH activities will make your head hurt, but Tylenol will make only ONE of those pains GO AWAY. And then Father Pfleger wants his charges DROPPED. I’m ashamed to say that Father Pfleger was a Deacon at my Parish decades ago, and that my Parish still supports him.
Only SOME horse lives matter!
This idiot would abuse fewer animals with just ONE well-placed bullet in him! HIS LIFE DOES NOT MATTER TO ME IN THE LEAST!
Expedience is another way of saying HYPOCRITE. Ethics? Of course not.
Morality. Absolutely not. Honest. Not even expected. After all. This is a puppet of LIGHTFOOT, the foul mouthed mayor of Chicago who cannot stop violence.
You would think that her face could do it.
Any one with normal “horse sense” would know better than to subject that poor animal to such unreasonable conditions. The rider needs to “have his head examined” to use a meaningful cliche.
Hang the lowlife scum.
He should be made to run down the highway bare foot with attack dogs chasing him. This guy should never have a animal again. where is PETA and the left on this.
You are a lowlife puke. If it were legal I would gladly beat the crap out of you.
Not paid for with taxpayers money? Sure, oh yeah, so how was it paid?
He said he would do it again for social justice. Next time run yourself to death rather than an innocent animal. He should not be allowed to own another horse again.
Democrats are INSANE. What he did should be done to him. Pukes like this make me sick.
He needs to spend 10 years in jail and that POS Lightfoot with him.
The very fact that he says he woud do it again shows that he has no regard to the horse’s well being. He obviously had numerous opportunities to astop and save the horse but refused to do so. He deserves jail time for his cruel stunt.
This is a complete idiot, while his goal for the kids is admirable, his method and what he did to that poor animal requires he needs serious jail time. He also needs to be bankrupt. Maybe then he will understand his stupidity and ignorance. It is obvious from this story he has no clue about the maintenance and requirements to own a horse or any animal for that matter If he had put shoes on the horse and not run it in the ground the horse would be alive today.
Just a lot of Horse Manure in Chicago, that toddling, tottering town!
Good God Almighty, WHY is this POS not DEAD???
Too bad a “STRAY BULLET” did not appear out of no where and just happen to hit him in the head. What would be better is that the horse went down with him underneath it and side along the pavement peeling is worthless hide off to the bone. People like this need their nuts cut off under their chin. I’m afraid this will be nothing after the election. Wake Up America and get ready. Support the Blue, Pray for and GOD Bless America.
Your ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
My understanding is that the horse was not euthanized. This does not negate the cruelty this man inflicted upon a 20 year old animal. The horse was rescued and is being treated. It can never be ridden again. He was riding it without shoes which severely damaged it’s hooves. What an idiot! I hope he goes to jail.
Incredibly sick and cruel act for publicity for Mayor Lightfoot. Does the Mayor of Chicago actually believe that would make a difference in the census count! The citizens of Chicago did not create or pay for this with their money. Mayor Lightfoot created this sad event so Mayor Lightfoot, you clean it up. Supposedly this monster still has 3-4 horses still in his possession. One can only hope the Mayor of Chicago makes sure the rest of the horses are put into the hands of more intelligent and caring people! I also wonder how the police officers following this horse on the expressway could ride through its blood and not stop the man. They could have radioed ahead to have a police car stop him.
The horse is the victim of complete leftist stupidity…..but communists will sacrifice anything to aid and abet their criminality. Think of the vermin filth some cities have elected as mayors…NYC, DeBlassio; Chicago, Lightfoot ( Beetlejuice ) ; Portland (Wheeler) Phila ( Kenney),…and that stupid clown in Minnespolis…to name just a few. The people of those cites elected these filthy bums…….so it is now up to the voters to take the first steps in eradicating these diseased maggots.
AMEN.
He would do it again???? It was worth it???? This man is a sociopath and doesn’t need to be close to any animal ever again. This horse was brutally abused, being whipped when he was completely run out. It breaks my heart to think of the terror this poor animal UNNECESSARILY endured. I hope they throw this bastard under the jail for a very long time. Lightfoot should be totally embarrassed and run out of office for having encouraged such behavior.
Put Him Down just like his “ Poor, Unwilling , Horse who had No Voice in this Ride !! “
Along with Lightfoot.
This is supposed to make people fall to their knees? All it will do is piss them off.
Chain gang cutting weeds on back roads in heat with big ball and chain on his ankle.
What a horrific and agonizing ride for that poor horse, not to mention how completely terrorizing it must’ve been for it to be in such high volume, fast speeding traffic. I wish someone would’ve reported it sooner and stopped the whole damn thing. Maybe the horse could’ve been saved. This kind of heartless evil cruelty just makes my blood boil. That mayor is a moron who should be hauled out of office in hand cuffs. She and her idiot “cowboy” should be forced to run bare foot down the same expressway for hours with cars whizzing by for consenting to such evil.
Raving lunatics all. Makes me wish this Chicago yahoo could be euthanized, perhaps with a whip.
I am a horse owner from Colorado where we have literally thousands of horses and most folks who own them treat them with dignity and respect and recognize that as the owner the horse is dependent upon you for their sustenance, safety, and well being at all times. To abuse an animal like that for a cause is no excuse and is a vile, heartless, sociopathic act. This guy should not only get the maximum penalties under the law but should be committed to a mental institution where he can never hurt any animal or human being again in his life time, The other alternative would be to run him barefoot until his feet are bleeding and he drops from exhaustion, then whip him, then euthanize him just as they did to the horse. Perhaps and eye for an eye is the best way to proceed in a case like this to send a message.
They oughta put *him* down.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “Census Cowboy” is being charged with animal cruelty and his horse euthanized after riding his horse down a major expressway as part of a social justice protest. Esplain to me what riding a horse in such a manor as that has anything to do with his protest. Here is a good case for PUBLIC LASHING.
You and your Mayor are disgusting, the dregs of humanity. What did the horse do to deserve that kind of treatment? I hope that your crime not only results in imprisonment, but that you are barred from ever owning another animal.
If mayor Catfish Face, oh yea that’s Lori Lightfoot, knew this man’s intentions before he killed his horse, she should be considered accessory before the fact.
A quote by Mark Twain (paraphrased) “Man and the higher animals.” It sure fits here!
The face of the new Democrat party! What was the group that created a “bail fund” to get protesters out of jail if arrested? Perhaps some of that money can be used to buy him another horse and pay his legal fees.
The problem with “social justice warriors” is that you first need to understand the word “justice”!!!
The concept of “mostly peaceful” is an impossibility. The word “peace” is an absolute. It either exists or it doesn’t. Saying otherwise illustrates a poor understanding of what the word means.
Send him to prison, so his Cellmate can “ride his arse to death!”
They used to call it RATIONALIZATION. It is the ability to twist thinking around so that bad actions and words are good because the person had “good” intentions.
Another way of saying it is “the end justifies the means.” That has been used for centuries to justify evil. And yet IT IS STILL EVIL.
