'Sometimes they make silly decisions': Chicago mayor-elect on rioting teens

The anti-demonizing double-downing mayor-elect of Chicago has once again suggested that we don't rake poorly behaved criminal teens across the coals and demand parental accountability and teens to be punished for their violent crimes. If getting off to a terrible start for a mayor-elect was an award, then this guy would be in first place with no competition even close. He's making Lori Lightfoot look like an angelic piece of fruitcake and he's not even the mayor yet! Thanks for nothing, Brandon Johnson.

ABC 7 Chicago quoted Brandon Johnson and Lori Lightfoot on the terrible teens taking over Chicago:

Johnson called the activity "unacceptable," but went on to say, "it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities."

Mayor Lori Lightfoot also responded to the violence.

"We have taken steps, and will take steps to address these teen trends. It's not the first time that we've addressed these issues, but our young people have an opportunity and a right to enjoy the entirety of our city, but they have to do it in a way that is respectful for people and property. And we did address that over the weekend, and we will continue to address it," Lightfoot said. "The vast majority of young people that came downtown because it was a great weather and an opportunity to enjoy the city, that's absolutely entirely appropriate. There are a few that came with different intentions, and they have, and they will be dealt with."
