Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Since the article provides very little detail regarding the “teens” it of course confirms the ethnicity of the yutes. If it was mostly a bunch of white kids the media would loudly proclaim them as white Klansman or something similar.
Given it’s Posen and the last census had the town over 60% Hispanic/Latino, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say it isn’t the “Usual Suspects” we see in Chicago proper. They are “Teens” of a different shade.
Knuckleheads come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. But you’re right, it’s not teenagers from Naperville or Bannockburn flash mobbing in Posen.
By this logic, the problems Streeterville should be rich old people out causing havoc on a Saturday night.
Right, because as we’ve seen Latinos really like when Black folks come into their territory. Notice BLM didn’t get much traction in Latino neighborhoods back in 2020 because Latinos gave it right back to the mob, literally shooting back.

So if they’re going to focus on race – and we’ve reordered all of society for ‘equity’ on the basis of race – then we are allowed to discuss the race of people disrupting civic events. Maybe it’s OK because of equity!
If you have to ask that you’re living in a dream world, far removed from what’s going on.
Let’s put it this way – it wasn’t a group of white supremacist teens.
You ask why? Because it’s the same ethnicity over and over and over again that are the problem yet in the political world the only bad people are Whites. The reality of the situation is that there isn’t a race problem but there is definitely a problem race.
