A vague attempt to hold someone accountable for community misbehavior ends in no one being held accountable:

• Mayor Brandon Johnson appeared set to throw his weight behind a proposal this week to fight chaotic Chicago “teen trend” meetups and illegal parties that sometimes end in gun violence, but backed away from the plan amid progressive pushback.

  Aldermen were discussing with the administration Thursday a draft ordinance to levy $10,000 fines against the organizers of certain “unlawful gatherings” — including many of the raucous, social media-fueled get-togethers pulling crowds of young people together at city parks and abandoned buildings.

  The mayor’s administration wanted to push the measure through the City Council as soon as next week, Ald. Lamont Robinson, 4th, told the Tribune before it was pulled. The ambitious timeline for the crackdown suggested Johnson feels the need to do something about the parties, which have drawn attention for some high-profile acts of violence.

  However, his administration quickly changed its tune in the face of questions from aldermen about its ramifications, and instead planned to hold the draft ordinance by Friday morning. Despite the administration’s intergovernmental affairs team’s work to push the ordinance and its appearance on a council agenda, a Johnson spokesperson said Friday it had moved forward “erroneously.”

Those "progressives" just can't get enough of dead and maimed minority children, can they?

And Conehead plays along instead of, you know, actually leading.

In that spirit - and in recognition of the weekend of 90-plus temps - we're going to make a prediction of 9 dead and 31 wounded, starting at 1700 hours Friday until 0001 hours Monday morning.
