A large group of young people, mostly juveniles, ripped through the South Loop on Sunday evening, looting a convenience store, storming a Dunkin, and fighting as they ran through the streets. It was the second time in days that groups of teens targeted the area along Roosevelt Road.
Like Oprah liked to say, “if someone shows you who they are, believe them”.

Does the 17 year old kid with the machine gun and high capacity ammo just get a misdemeanor?

40 out of 400. Well, it’s a start…. Almost as good as Chicago is when it comes to arresting someone for all of the armed robberies and carjackings and auto-thefts and burglaries and drive-by’s and murders we read about every week. Those are, what? Five out of a hundred crimes someone’s convicted – something like that. Even if they weren’t one of the 40 caught inside the store with stuff in their hands, it was still 400 teens who went along with a looting, rather than running away from one.

Be sure to watch the video way down near the bottom of the article. Total anarchy. Looks like not nearly enough cops and those that are there look like spectators. I can’t wait to see how many arrests were really made. And, as usual, no one wants to mention who the perpetrators are. So these situations just keep recurring and the problem will never be solved.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
