Ja’Mal Green: Don’t surrender Chicago to ‘teen takeover’ chaos – Chicago Tribune

"Let’s stop pretending we don’t know what’s going on.  These “teen takeovers” downtown, such as the one on Wednesday, aren’t just harmless get-togethers. They’re organized disruptions — planned online, carried out in large groups and allowed to spiral out of control because the city has been too slow and too hesitant to respond. That needs to change."

Crafty Green isn’t fooling everyone. He will run for mayor on a sensible platform and if elected will revert to his activist, “ defund the po-lice “ agenda.

C’mon its just kids ruining downtown for everyone. Bet that will bring the tourists in . Good thing we’re going to raise hotel taxes for the crowds that will be coming

Arrest all the kids that participated. Then make their parents come get them. Maybe if the parents are inconvenienced they step up and watch them and teach them what behaviors are unacceptable.

The challenge there is the parents don’t know how to behave either…In some cases, there may be 3 or 4 generations who have no idea what regular society, manners and civil behavior should look like.
