Chicago’s mayor-elect says the city should not demonize the teens who organized a ‘Teen Takeover’ of the Loop over the weekend, even after the event turned violent with cars burnt cars and minors shot. Brandon Johnson, 47, said Sunday he does not ‘condone the destructive activity’ and that it’s ‘unacceptable and has no place’ in Chicago, but that it should not be used as a way to vilify the group. ‘However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,’ said Johnson, a progressive Democrat. Shocking footage showed some teenagers jumping on top of a bus while others started a massive brawl after descending on Millennium Park and attempting to breach barricades. Gunshots rang out with some rounds striking two teenage boys aged 16 and 17. Cars were also left vandalized near East Washington Street in the Windy City, including a Tesla which is worth about $120,000.

Sorry, but I disagree. This is behavior that should be demonized and punished severely.
These were criminals and thugs rioting.
“Law and Order” is a joke in these Democratic cities.

UPDATE
But for a Good Samaritan, this couple could have been killed and the police obviously weren’t interested in helping.

Are Universities Doomed?

Since 2020, the old proportional-representation admissions quotas have expanded into weird “reparatory” admissions. Purported “marginalized populations” have often been admitted at levels greater than percentages in the general population.
Consequently, “problematic” standardized tests are damned as biased and antithetical to “diversity.”
To accommodate radical diversity reengineering, the only demographic deemed expendable are white males. Their plunging numbers on campus, especially from the working class, are now much less than their percentages in the general population—regardless of grades or test scores.
At Yale, the class of 2026 is listed as 50% white and 55% female. Fourteen percent were admitted as “legacies.” In sum, qualified but poor white males without privilege or connections seem mostly excluded.

Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer, I don’t see ANY value in the oddball degrees being offered today. History and English have been perverted and are hence useless. At least in the old days, you’d learn how to write effective literate essays.
So to society, is also on a downward spiral into crass crude disguting cultural rot.
I won’t be around to see the crash at the bottom, but it’s going to be nasty brutish for all left behind,
