From the Editorial Board:
Mr. Mayor-elect, this is not going to work.
Chicagoans were not “demonizing youth” but reacting to criminal behavior. https://t.co/Ou3pYAhg00
@CWBChicago As a black man, who’s worked in Chicago high schools for the past decade, I can honestly say that this doesn’t have shit to do w/ access to opportunities or community centers. This behavior comes from a lack of accountability paired w/ little to no consequences for this behavior.
Warning: Disturbing video.
This footage is included in a sort of "mix tape" of social media posts floating purporting to be from the "large group" incident in the Loop on Saturday night.
The woman is being attacked in the doorway of 129 North Wabash. #Chicago
@WilliCaroline@CWBChicago If this was a black woman being attacked by a mob of white youths, it would be national news plastered everywhere followed by city wide protests. I walked 3 for George and the movement, but I never signed up to encourage this kind of hate. Be better CHI, you are not helping. Why?
Chicago’s top cop blamed a mass shooting in Back of the Yards on a convicted felon who was recently arrested on gun charges but was released on cash bond despite his violent record. https://t.co/uJb0Mta3U5
Bad news: A smash-and-grab robbery team brought a hammer to break into the display cases at a Mag Mile jewelry store yesterday afternoon.
Good news: The store's security guard brought a gun to prevent that kind of nonsense. Nothing taken.

Last word for #InternationalWomenDay2020 must go to the inspirational @clodagh_dunlop whom visited us on Friday to talk about #beatinglockedin. She is so appreciative of the help she received from everyone in her recovery from stroke - but particularly the women in her life
My sister suffered a brain stem stroke 4 days after her brain aneurysm and the birth of her baby girl. She is currently suffering from #LockedInSyndrome - We are remaining hopeful hearing many success stories of #beatinglockedin . Go fund me link in bio for details and updates 🙏🏼
