Are you planning an annual journey to Chicago to see the Christmas lights, get pleasure from a pleasant stroll by Millennium Park and get all romantic for the vacation season? You may need to suppose twice about that plan. Chicago’s moron mayor was at a podium Sunday to clarify how she’s going to cease what occurred Saturday on the vacationer spot the place dozens of youths have been arrested and a CTA bus driver was crushed.
Police say the bus driver stopped his bus to examine it after listening to a loud pop and was attacked by a person and a girl on North Michigan Ave., close to the Millennium Park skating rink and the Bean sculpture. The bus driver was punched “several times” earlier than the assailants fled, police say.
That was simply the beginning of the issues at Millennium Park the place 21 juveniles have been arrested after a battle broke out inside a big group that had congregated. Police say a 15-year-old boy was shot within the arm after bumping into one other teen, who pulled a gun and shot the boy, as a part of the park chaos.

That’s proper, the place the place you used to go for a pleasant informal stroll to benefit from the big-city life-style in December is at present so unhealthy that Lightfoot needed to present as much as a press convention Sunday and clarify how she’s going to regain management of an out-of-control metropolis.
Now Lori’s pissed off on the dad and mom. “These kids have to take responsibility, but I’m going to say the parents have to take responsibility,” she instructed the Chicago media. “Do you know where your kid is? Are you making sure that you’re talking to your children about how they should act in a large crowd?”
It’s extremely unlikely any of the dad and mom have been watching her press convention.
Per week in the past, she blamed juvenile judges for the chaos triggered by an 11-year-old boy who’s being referred to as a “prolific” carjacker. That boy is accused of sticking a gun within the face of a girl and stealing her BMW.
In different information, it was one other typical 9 lifeless, 23 wounded weekend in Chicago. Chicago’s moron mayor has no plan, no approach out of this chaos and now she has enormous teams of youths wreaking havoc on the vacationer hotspots.

It’s not simply the Millennium Park space that’s turning into an enormous difficulty. Magnificent Mile is being focused by retail theft gangs which have smashed home windows and have pulled off heists corresponding to 4 males working right into a Burberry retailer and taking off with purses “worth tens of thousands of dollars,” in line with CBS-Chicago.
“We don’t want to be become the headlines, like San Francisco,” Rob Karr, president and chief government officer of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, instructed the TV station, “but we’re pushing in that direction.”
Lightfoot leaves Tuesday for San Francisco the place she’ll be fundraising for her 2023 reelection marketing campaign.
