Chicago mayor-elect condemns 'Teen Takeover' chaos, but says it's 'not constructive to demonize youth'

Hey!
Remember Seattle?
[FoxNews] Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson warned against vilifying youth while condemning a chaotic "Teen Takeover" of the Loop over the weekend, which saw hundreds of young people descend on the downtown area for two nights in a row.

Two teenage males, ages 16 and 17, were shot while standing in a crowd during the mayhem on Saturday night, as hundreds of young people smashed cars, blocked traffic, and fought in the streets. Both victims were transported to a hospital and listed in fair condition, according to Fox 32 Chicago.

Chicago police arrested nine adults and six juveniles in connection with the takeover, which was advertised on social media. A 16-year-old male was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, while two other suspects were charged with possession of a stolen vehicle. Most of the other arrests were for reckless conduct.

#6 ...And just think - the Democratic National Committee thinks this will be under control when the '24 National Convention takes place there.

Somewhere, Bill Daley Sr. is laughing his ass off.

#7 ^^ Assuming you meant 'Richard J. Daley Sr.', the mayor of Chicago from 1955 to 1976.

As much as folks like to denigrate him, he loved his city and would be appalled at the current state of affairs.

#8 Cure: Remington-870 pump.

#9 Illinois state senator defends Chicago teens' rioting, looting: 'It's a mass protest'

Guess when they get jobs, buy a house, pay taxes they can voice their opinions.

#10 Still think NASCAR is going to need kevlar body panels and lexan for thewindshield to keep the drivers from getting shot during the street race later this year. Seriously doubt anybody has considered staking out all the high spots to prevent sniper style action. Taking out a driver would give some serious street cred.

#11 I can recall when "midnight basketball" was gonna take care of all these problems.
