Chicago PD unable to control thousand-strong gang party lasting hours

American Thinker: At last we know why Chicago’s homicide level is so out of control: Gangs, not police control the streets. The gangs know it; the police know it; and now, thanks to DNAinfo.com/Chicago, we know it.  A week ago, Chicago street gangs held a huge party in a park, with a thousand people attending, some brandishing firearms, terrifying neighbors for hours. The police sent 25 squad cars, yet were outnumbered and unable to really do anything.  Stephanie Lulay wrote:

 A raucous and “very dangerous” gang party that brought 1,000 people to a Near West Side park late Sunday was so out of control, Chicago police struggled to shut it down, one alderman said.

Despite calling for police and politicians to address notoriously loud and sometimes violent gang parties for years, neighbors living near Touhy-Herbert Park report that this weekend’s massive all-night party that spilled over into the streets was worse than ever.

  1. Grool,

    I know, but they only hit their own because they tend to shoot sideways. It’d look like Battle for the Planet of the Apes.

    How racist of me (pinky touching chin) 😉

  2. Airborne tear gas, followed by indelible marker dye.

    Convenient to have the Gangs all converged in one easily surroundable park.

    If Rahm Emmanuel’s CPD can’t manage it, the Alabama National Guard is available and just back from The Sandbox.

  3. I’ll bet Rahm turned off his cell phone, unplgged the landline, turned off his lights, drew the curtains and hid under his bed until morning.
    Maybe the cops should have mobilized SWAT with extra loads of tear gas and lined up and swamped the place with the gas. Anyone trying to run away would be allowed to go after taking a few good hits with the batons. The object would not to arrest but to injure and instill a lesson on who controls what. Anyone with a gun should be shot on sight. Chicago is a war zone and needs to be treated that way. Maybe a few months of Martial Law would help.

  4. President Trump should appear at the end of the street with a collumn of water canon trucks who quickly surround the crowd.
    Mr. Trump should then activate the live streaming video from his vantage point showing his view to the subscribing web audience. All the other water cannons are so equipped.
    Then, the President should open up the voting so We the People can decide which rioter gets the next bath.

  5. Rahm and the Dems want this.

    Cloward-Piven requires Devolution of all major population centers into ungovernable, unmanageable hellholes.
    Detroit is the template.

    Chicago is proceeding according to Plan.

    The Left may bring on Martial Law, but with a very different outcome than they planned in Bill Ayers’ living room.

  6. How many times has someone said, “If only we could get all the bad guys in one place; then we could …”

    That was your chance. And apparently you couldn’t.

  7. Dear people in that area of Chicago. Who did you vote for? LOL.
    As for that crowd — if you don’t want to be stereotyped, don’t be the stereotype.
    They remind me of the Vatos in LA. Sleep all day, get up at 5pm to drink, annoy the neighborhood and start fights.
    Pffft.

  8. Even with all the corruption and cronyism and pol fixing of Dicky’s daddy, Richard J. Daley’s administration, one has to admit he was good ar keeping the city safe. He was a no bullshit dem dictator. He had nads especially when it came to punks.

  9. Barcelona had a YUGE problem with rowdy drunken mobs taking over public squares in mostly blue collar residential areas. Fights, rapes, property damage. These were all-night simmering riots in slow motion.
    Continued for 20+ years. Neighborhoods complained to police and Mayor in vain.
    As long as only poor working classes were affected the Elites couldn’t be bothered.
    Once the lawlessness expanded into 5 Star hotel and shopping districts and tourism began to visibly suffer, then the Elites discovered Zero Tolerance Policing.
    Several nights of baton swinging and rough arrests and the problem largely disappeared.

    A reminder for all cities not yet as far gone as Chicago. It would work there too, but Rahm and his Lefty police chief would have to be harshly removed. Symbolism matters.

  10. Roll in the tanks and keep them rolling up and down the streets until the perps are under control. If that doesn’t work…
    Curfew! Break curfew get 5 years in jail, no exceptions.
    Just remember, there are more of us with more brains and resources to control the malcontents.

  11. 1968, at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, tens of thousands of Vietnam War protesters battle police in the streets, while the Democratic Party falls apart over an internal disagreement concerning its stance on Vietnam.

    Have another one,

    BTW did anybody die?

    The Chicago police turned into pajama boy.

  12. At some point the infestation will pick a target and leave the party to raid. Then it’s going into full on combat, house to house.

    You asked for it Chicagoans.

  13. A potentially riotous and violent situation that
    the authorities will in no way be able to control ?

    Is Rahm Emmanuel proud ?

    He’s black and therefor you

    CANNOT CRITICIZE HIM !

    If you don’t believe me

    ask JESSE JACKSON !

  14. Quoted from DNA article: The cops won’t do anything. They’re gonna force the community to take matters into their own hands and become vigilantes.

    Just one problem: YOU don’t have the guns. The cops know it, the residents know it, and more importantly, the gang thugs know it.

  15. Zonga: Thanks for posting those links. One thing I noticed is that the average hippie war poster circa 1968 was better dressed than the average Walmart shopper circa 2017!
