Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot held her second high-level crime fighting meeting of the week Tuesday, bringing together several city department heads at City Hall to prepare for summer violence.
“I want to make sure that every single city resource that we have is focused on keeping our communities safe this summer,” Lightfoot told reporters after talking to officials from the Police Department, the Chicago Park District, the Department of Streets and Sanitation, Chicago Public Schools and other agencies.
Commenting on the arrests of young people who gathered in large numbers downtown over spring break earlier in April, Lightfoot said teens need to know they can “engage in productive activities in the neighborhoods.”
“I think that was a missed opportunity, but I think we’re not going to make, we’re not going to do that again,” she said. “We’re going to make sure we’re thoughtful and intentional, particularly around spring breaks. That’s why I’ve been spending so much time talking to, not just law enforcement, but the various agencies to have a good plan for the summer.”

The Chicago legal team. Oh, boy. I'm guessing Algore has the trademark on 'midnight basketball' so it can't be considered an option.
Full title - Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot wants teens to know they can 'engage in productive activities in neighborhoods'
It’s a step in the right direction, but it definitely won’t be enough.
What are they gonna do? Have target practice?
All they need is an outlet.
And love.
And understanding.
They’re just misunderstood yoots.
They can play dodgebullet.
...about the same effect as a roll of paper towels has on a hurricane. And she knows it.
Typical summertime BS from a typical
Rat politician trying to keep the killings down in typical s*ithole
Maybe Chicago can attract out-of-town tourists by assuring them it has a plan to deal with “summer violence” by young people.
Listen up kiddies. The mayor says group sex in the hood is good. It is a productive activity. It produces babies.....
The best productivity possible in Chicago....is to help folks load U-Haul trailers with belongings, and help get them out of the city and state.
Catch the bullet is going to be a new game by teens in Chicago...
You beat me to it.
In spite of a 7-hour Snow Delay, last weekend tallied 7 killed and 24 wounded. After a slow start, 2019 will probably surpass 2018 with more than 600 homicides.
The result of the Mayor’s meeting will be to ensure that the rest of the city is in the same fetal position as the Chicago Police Department.
Memorial Day weekend will be a real sh*tshow.
They know it would be more productive to walk little old ladies across the street but where's the payoff? Selling drugs and prostituting gets them bling.

If you are planning a trip to Chicago, be extremely careful large groups of “teens” have started the annual wilding season and their targets include rizty shopping areas and places frequented by unsuspecting tourists. Chicago, along with many major US cities, is in for a long, hot, violent summer.
Gay Pride Parades ?
Midnight Basketball!
Major rain.
Smoke alarm on the porch got water-logged and went off and wouldn’t turn off. My ears hurt.
If there’s ever a fire instead it’ll be a tossup as to whether the smoke kills me before the sound does.
“Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot wants teens to know they can ‘engage in productive activities’”
Ha, that was the cause of the riots, the yutes just didn’t know about “productive activities”! Now that she made them aware there won’t be any more problems.
