Teen Takeover Discussion?
Why are politicians "discussing" lawbreaking?
As more so-called teen takeovers could be planned in Chicago this week, the concern over the gatherings seemed to be split in a South Side room, literally, on Tuesday night.
"They're saying they want places to go, things to do. We have park districts and everything in our communities. Let's open it up for them," one woman said.
Organizers with Acclivus, a community health organization, hosted a teen takeover listening session in Washington Park.
"The kids are just dangling. They don't have nothing to do," one young person said.
Tuesday night's meeting came as Ald. Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth said there will be intermittent closures of DuSable Lake Shore Drive ramps if necessary in response to planned large gatherings at Foster Beach on Thursday and Friday.
Parking restrictions will be in place along the lakefront from Lawrence to Foster on June 4 and June 5 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the DuSable Lake Shore Drive off-ramps at Lawrence and Foster will be closed if necessary, Manaa-Hoppenworth said.
They have plenty to do - they just don't do it.
They could also get....we dunno....jobs?
There are twenty-six MILES of beaches, many within walking distance of where these teens live:
- 12th Street
- 31st Street
- Rainbow Beach
- 57th Street
- 63rd Street
- South Shore
Just to name a few that are far closer than Foster Avenue. What's the attraction of going that far away from home, besides the abundance of victims and the lack of police manpower?
There are laws in effect - enforce them aldercreature. Stop making excuses for misbehavior.

Close down that Yacht Club parking lot by the Museum at 7 every night.
whenever I told my mom I didn't have anything to do her response was "read a book!"
I guess just close everything down. So much for the regular people who try to use the stuff they are paying taxes for.
How about midnight masses. The teens would surely flock to st Sabina for that
They do what they have learned at home and that’s create havoc
Think about this for a second…
We have a Superintendent who admitted to punching a handcuffed prisoner in the back of a squad car multiple times.
A Chief (Paps) who abused the medical roll and went to party in Florida and was caught.
We have people receiving multiple recent merit promotions who run marathons while on the medical and don’t report to work and have committed PPE loan fraud.
But were supposed to follow the rules?
Maybe they can pick up the litter around their neighborhood, help people mow lawns, paint a fence, pull weeds, you know, community stuff.
They go downtown to destroy and cause disorder, mayhem, and steal whatever is available for the taking. Stop believing their bullshit “we don’t have anything to do” excuses. This is mob action and rioting by large groups of criminals. Wake up. Why do we tolerate this behavior?
All these bust outs get jobs…bwahahahahahaha. When you read and think at the CPS acceptable 3rd grade level, there is no job available.
These kids also believe they should start a job earning $20-$30 an hour.
Help is on the way, the Jackson Park Tomb Stone opens in a few weeks and this should keep the youtes busy for tens of minutes.
Plenty of the feral breed within walking distance to Foster Ave. beach, plenty of them
Ole girl said the fools be dangling with nuffin to do. Maybe school or job. Now we have to entertain these assholes. WTF
These fucks can’t read.
Racist!
Dangling kids? I’ve only heard about dangling chads? Or participles?
Polar Bear Hunt!
Exactly right..i was told the same thing. Growing up as a kid, we had nothing compared to what these kids have today but we managed...we rode our bikes, played ball in the street, alley, parking lot or park, went to the mall arcade, rolling skating, hide and go seek, however, we NEVER looted, stole, robbed, car jacked, beat or shot anyone. STOP making excuses for these kids who want to cause trouble and chaos and guess where that comes from. When you have Shitball parents expect the same from your kids who are not taught any better.
Wait till next weekend when they are predicting temps in the 90's...good luck yall.
A job at 20-30 that they don’t have to work at.
yes they have parks in their hood but they always destroy them,, once new equipment is installed it is somehow missing or broken within 1 week and then they say "it fell into disrepair because of racism"
Most of the jobs that a teenager would qualify for has already been taken by a “migrant “
They don’t have anything to do is code for they receive zero parental guidance growing up.
Kids mirror what they see at home and if you’ve ever worked in da hood you’ve seen it and understand why this behavior continues generation after generation.
I would go as far to surmiser every youtes at a teen riot is the product of a single parent home or zero parent home.
These are questions that need to be documented when the youtes are detained and or arrested.
Start collecting factual data and maybe the system can address and correct the problem.
Are you on Druggggggs
That would be a great "job" for the yutes, and karma for the Obamanation that is the "cultural center." It would give a good look at the kind of "culture" cultivated and encouraged under the Obama presidency.
I don’t get why we tolerate it either. We have to take it because they’re future Democratic voters or the spawn of Democratic voters?
That's what makes it so funny...
It's more fun to be a blight on society.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Just play the Kars-for-Kids jingle over a loudspeaker. That will disperse any crowd.
God, I need to be mayor to fire these hacks and return the city to greatness.
LMFAO..excellent post
LMFAO...these parasite obnoxious entitled rats would never do that
because filthy white liberals protect them and people are afraid to be called racist . Malcom X was dead right when he talked about the White liberal
If they can't cause some type of ghetto ass chaos which they can post to a social media platform, these "teens" will have nothing to do with it.
That ohblahbla lieberry that opens Juneteenth can stack them high as a lock up. The Darth Vader Graybar Hotel.
I always enjoy hearing the we want 30 an hour chants for doing nothing from the Youths. Reminds me.of my dad who had to work 15 years as a sheet metal worker to finally make 15 an hour.
Can't someone figure out that the youngsters in the other communities do for fun. Why don't we see packs of Asians or Middle Eastern kids jumping on cars or taking over neighborhoods. Same thing with Edison Park or Pilsen. Wait till the Pride events. That should be another great disaster. Year after year we have takeovers. Still can't figure out what to do.
" Teen takeovers" my ass. A more appropriate term is
" urban riots".
Escaped the plantation eight years ago. Moved to a suburb near Houston. The whole city is abuzz with the World Cup arriving next week. Hotels filled, event spaces filled. Restaurants are getting ready for big business. Police are getting a lots of appreciated OT. No urban riots tolerated. If you fuck up, you get locked up. DHS
welcomed into the city to help. Millions of dollars added to the local economy. A show on the world stage, literally. Do you know who's not excited? THE CITY OF CHICAGO. NOT EVEN CONSIDERED FOR THE GAMES. CRIME AND URBAN RIOTS IN CHICAGO. NO ONE IS COMING TO SPEND A DIME. NO SHOPPING. MICHIGAN AVENUE IS HALF EMPTY. HOTELS HALF EMPTY. RESTAURANTS EMPTY BT SUNDOWN SINCE PEOPLE FEAR THE FERALS. NO WORLD CUP COMMITEE IS SENDING ANYONE TO CHICAGO TO BE ROBBED AND MURDERED. But then again...CHICAGO STILL HAS THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS TO BANG ON THEIR BUCKETS. NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!
When I was their age I had a full time Summer job at The Museum of Science and Industry. Of course one of my two parents had to drop me off and pick me up if I didn’t have another ride arranged…so it took effort on my parents part. 🧐🧐🧐🧐
I say it at 018 out of control Theft
One thing we can do is change the description because it usually not teenagers. When people think teens they think 14. These are usually 18-24 year olds. They’re not kids, they’re adults who deserved consequences.
They should try the beaches around Evanston, Wilmette or Kenilworth. Those communities would love to have them. Just ask them to invite our youth. May the city could provide some sort of transportation for them.
We use to have an organization called the Boy Scouts that did all that stuff; but it was found to be sexist and was sued out of existence.
