Shots fired in the Loop as hundreds of teens gather

There is a heavy presence of Chicago police officers Saturday evening in the Loop as large crowds of teens are creating disturbances.

Mayor elect says less money for police but will "tax the rich" to pay for more "social programs" that will, I suspect, go towards supporting single moms who will receive housing vouchers, food vouchers and cash payments which will encourage young women to produce ever more young people who will eventually roam the streets.

It’s like we’re living in a planet of the apes movie

[razlemaze]

We need the national guard at this point. This is ridiculous, imagine coming to your car damaged after being out in the nice weather. Those bastards!

[randyosborne]

Hurry, bring out the social workers ! Nothing disperses an unruley crowd like handing out job applications.

[ursulaglissmann]

Those damn "teens" at it again.

[UzumakiNaruto_]

Around blacks never relax. Wise words proven true once again.

[charlespiper]

Making this city as appealing as Detroit

[xmalcom]

Black teens. Every teen there was black.

Where were Mayor Elect Brandon Johnson's Social Workers! They would have neutralized the chaos immediately without CPD!

And what's Brandon Johnson going to do when, hordes of poorly raised teens continue to do this?

[danpatrickth]

When martial law comes, many people are going to have a hard time enjoying themselves in the city.

The city needs to implement some kind of law and order in downtown Chicago. It's crazy how my city the city I love has gone down the drain.

[SirEnzo]

Lowkey, Brandon Johnsons response to this will define his mayorship with regards to crime. If the mayor and CPD don't actually TRY to put these kids behind bars, nothing will happen.

It's not hard to get detectives to investigate these meet ups and arrest people involved in the chaos. There are so many things you can charge them with even if Kimmothy Foxx will let them out. The point is to overwhlem the DAs to actually do something to instead of making their lives easier with less arrests.

I am a black male and I will never live around my own kind.

The parents taking care of the 7 other kids

[GrenadeMan]

"hundreds of teens gather" WGN News is afraid of being called racist

[strongmermaid]

Sadly it's not ALL teens that behave like this

[bocephus]

Why arrest them, they be released as soon as that get them to jail, sad

[JackTheSkunk]

It is virtually impossible for a group of 3 or more of these "teens" to be gathering without some sort of disturbance taking place. Must be tribal thing.
