Carol Marin - Racist

All those wildings that haven't been occurring and for which we've been taking inordinate amounts of blame, doubt and hassle? Yeah, Carol Marin of all people is talking about it:

• I called 911. It was rush hour on Tuesday on Lake Shore Drive.
  
  I’d just rounded the curve, northbound, by Oak Street Beach and noticed a heavy presence of Chicago Police officers on bikes and in cars. And, if I’m not mistaken, on ATVs. The beach was throbbing with people on this warm summer day.
  
  Then, all of a sudden, I saw a pack of young people racing into traffic. Against the backdrop of flashing CPD blue lights by the North Avenue Beach house, I’d estimate 20 to 30 young men and women were running through the North Avenue/La Salle exit. Remember, this was rush hour.

Golly Carol, what could it be??!?!?

• Traffic was slower than normal but moving. Motorists on the Drive are not prepared for a wilding of young people weaving on foot in between their vehicles. But there they were. Running across the northbound lanes. Jumping the barrier. Zigzagging in front of cars in the southbound lanes. And sprinting into the park.
  
  My first instinct was to call the cops. The second was to call my news desk. And that’s what I did and in that order. Who wants to see a kid killed in traffic? Or a motorist terrorized by a kid running through traffic?
  
  The 911 officer who answered asked for a specific description of the people I saw. Were they white, Hispanic or African American?They were African American, I told her.
  
  I asked myself, does race matter in this? As a description, I think it does.

That's a hell of an admission from the liberal media. For Shame! We'll expect the calls for Carol's resignation in the morning.

And after all that, Carol goes and ruins her moment by spouting the party line:

• This particular incident was in the 18th Police District of the 43rd Ward. The alderman is Michele Smith, who makes it a practice to walk along the beach and see for herself what’s going on.
  
  She checked and told me there were no criminal incidents connected to what I’d witnessed. The crowd had apparently quickly dispersed. And yet, I wondered, what can a city do to effectively anticipate and stop disruptions like this? Especially when they escalate beyond mere disruptions?

Really Carol? You believed an aldercreature? And if she told you there were no fixed contracts, no funny business with the permitting processes and every promotional exam given by Chicago was legit, you'd print that, too? You aren't a moron Carol, so why do you write like one?

And guess what? Running into traffic, disrupting traffic flow? Those are ordinance violations, i.e. violations of the law. But because no report was generated, that means it didn't occur? You saw it in front of your own eyes, yet you write that "there were no criminal incidents connected to what I’d witnessed."

Talk about willful blindness.
