New Years Curfew?

Is this going to be a failure - how big?

  • Resolving to avoid another violent holiday-season “teen takeover,” Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday stressed the city’s 10 p.m. curfew for young people who head downtown without adult supervision for the city’s nationally televised New Year’s Eve festivities.

    The mayor and police Supt. Larry Snelling implored parents to “know where your children are” to help the city avoid a repeat of the chaos that followed hundreds of teenagers who flocked to the Loop after last month’s Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. Nine teens were shot, one fatally, when large gatherings devolved into violence Nov. 21.

    Johnson and Snelling promised a heightened police presence for the “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest” spectacle that’ll take over the Riverwalk Wednesday night.

    But keeping the peace will largely come down to family communication, Johnson said during a press conference at the West Loop headquarters of the Office of Emergency Management & Communications.

With all the cancelled days off, does anyone think Larritorious and Heineken are going to have Officers checking IDs for curfew violators? Or being off the streets for citations? Of course not.

Questions though:

  • will the "stop stick unit" be deployed for the inevitable car caravans? 
  • how about a response team when the usual suspects start shooting off fireworks downtown?
  • and will ABC be broadcasting on a ten-second-delay to attempt to filter out the sound of gunfire?

We put the odds of gunfire being heard on live TV at about 50-50.

I thought crime is so low things are all good. Let’s not force officers to work holidays and save money this year. The 2026 is going to be one big bang up year!

The goal of the teens is to be downtown when the clock strikes midnight because that’s the place to be and to where the action is. They won’t be leaving for curfew. Only a simpleton like Conehead could come up with such nonsense.

Right after this notice Starbucks is closing 400 stores but where? Of course blue democrats run corruption filled, criminal enterprises:
Big city residents may not see as many Starbucks moving forward.

CNN reported Monday that the iconic Seattle-based coffee giant is planning to close roughly 400 stores nationwide as part of its $1 billion restructuring plan.

The closings will be in concentrated metro areas like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago where Starbucks has attempted to lure customers for years based on store volume in high-traffic areas.

Parental communication does not happen in the "Community". Obviously this Hunyuk has not idea about his own community and, of course, is bullshitting the media.

If the parents were in control of their "bored" children, no one would have to worry about violence and there would be a civil society. They don't and there isn't.

Be careful out there, brothers and sisters because you are the ones who will be under fire from both sides.

Remember what BJ said, the youths should not be ostracized and have every right to enjoy downtown.
If you approach these “teens” odds are they will have an 18 year old adult with them that’ll qualify as “adult supervision.”
The lawyers and media are already waiting to sing their usual song, CPD is racist, CPD approached black youths that were in a group enjoying NYE.

Watch your sixes. Everyone should know by now that if you go into the city and arent a depraved animal with a weapon, your belongings, car, and yourself are at risk. No one can control this situation now because the media and politicians pandered to the criminal element and their families for too long.

Happy New Years Eve. God bless the real police on CPD and may the devil fry the rest.

"Parents" always causes a smh chuckle. What parents? Madear, Ontie, or a Foster in it for the money? And in the absence of those parental alternatives, the miscreants are wards of the state. They are uncontrollable and they know they are untouchable. Plus, the media calls them teens, youths, boys, or girls when they are already hardened criminals who have never suffered any consequences for their actions.

Starbucks tastes bitter because they burn their beans on purpose, to cover up the taste of them going rancid while sitting for weeks prior to shipment to the stores. Hence all the flavors to add, until it's more milkshake than java.

Like Penzeys or North Face, it was more about being seen with the label (a "status identifier") than anything else.
