Why was there no plan to prevent public safety crisis during Mexican Independence Day celebrations? – CBS2 (Chicago)

Ald. Brendan Reilly was strongly critical of Supt. David Brown: "I don't think anyone who lives or works downtown would consider this weekend a successful one for the Superintendent."

Who cares what happens downtown. You may have been inconvenienced; be thankful you weren’t murdered! Lori.

“To be clear, the issue is not the community wanting to celebrate downtown – and the problems were not their fault.”

What?! The chaos most certainly was the fault of “the community”.

Those who want to celebrate Mexican Independence Day should do what every other group does, apply for a parade permit. Parades are a celebration, blocking the streets 4 nights in a row, shooting off fireworks in the middle of intersections, throwing bottles and bricks at police cars is a riot.
