Chicago really was a great city. (Past tense) Chicago curfew tightened after killing near 'Bean' sculpture
So there were 5 homicides, and 30 non-fatal shootings in Chicago this past weekend, but one of them has Mayor Groot (Lori Lightfoot) in a snit. It was in front of Cloud Gate, a sculpture in Millennium Park that is commonly known as "The Bean," because it looks like a large mirrored bean.
That is critical, because Millenium park is one of the places suburbanites, and city dwellers go on the weekend, before spending oodles of money on food, and goods in the city. They used to anyway, before the woke policies of this mayor, and the Cook County State's Attorney, Crimesha (also known as Kim Foxx) decided that Law and Order were racist 19th Century concepts that a progressive city like Chicago could do without.
Lightfoot said she hoped and expected that people would abide by the restrictions and that it would not lead to widespread arrests. She said they “don’t want to arrest children,” but those who break the law will be.
Except all they have to do is run away. Cops are not allowed to do foot pursuits, because reasons.
And the shooting that has the mayor in such a snit... a 17-year-old shot a 16-year-old.
