Hundreds of teens cause fiery chaos in Downtown Chicago as they torch cars in rampage organized on social media: Vastly outnumbered police manage just 15 arrests

A crowd of more than a hundred rowdy teenagers turned violent in Downtown Chicago on Saturday night as dozens torched and smashed cars while blaring music in a 'teen trend' that left two with gunshot wounds.

Shocking footage showed some teenagers jumping on top of a bus while others started a massive brawl after descending on Millennium Park and attempting to breach barricades.

Gunshots rang out with some rounds striking two teenage boys aged 16 and 17.

The two youths were transported to a nearby hospital in fair condition. A total of 15 people, nine adults and six children were arrested.

Police said most of the charges were for reckless conduct, but a 16-year-old boy was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon, and a firearm was recovered. An adult and a juvenile were also charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.

Cars were also left vandalized near East Washington Street in the Windy City, including a Tesla which worth about $120,000.

The huge gatherings in the street are being dubbed 'teen trends' which extends invites to teenagers across the city, according to NBC Chicago, and Saturday's incident occurred a day after another teenage boy, 14, was shot at another gathering near 31st Avenue Beach.

During the chaos on Saturday night, a bystander was attacked while in the driver seat of his car by rowdy teenagers and had to be taken to the hospital.

It appeared as if police were unable to handle the crowd and were seen escorting innocent bystanders and tourists to safety.

It’s coming to everywhere if it’s not stopped in places like Chicago. The last thing people should be saying is ‘big deal, it’s just Chicago’. What they should be saying is, this is an attack on America, and an attack on our way of life. Believe it or not, we ALL have a lot of skin in this game.

The new mayor’s probably on the sidelines cheering them on. Would it surprise anyone?

Letting them know that just out-numbering the cops is enough to give them an advantage sets a dangerous precedent.

How about tear-gas canisters that dispense calming essential oils? Aroma-therapy writ large.
