Video shows teens take over Chicago streets as mayor warns of ‘trends’ that can turn ‘deadly’

Hundreds of young people filled the streets and sidewalks in Chicago last week in what Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling "teen trends" that he warned can turn deadly.

Video, obtained by Fox News from ChitownCrimeChasers, showed the teens filling streets and sidewalks on March 30, clustering around parked vehicles and moving through intersections.

Other footage from that night captured different individuals dancing and socializing in the city's streets, while other moments showed people climbing on cars and brief altercations within the crowd.

In Hyde Park, residents say the March 30 takeover lasted for hours late into the night.

One resident, Jason Hale, said his car was among roughly 30 affected by crowds in Chicago that night.

"Yeah, it’s bad. The hood is messed up, terrible. A thousand worth of damage, dents everywhere, footprints everywhere," Hale told FOX 32 Chicago.

Video shows groups of teens standing and moving on top of parked vehicles as crowds formed around them.

Chicago police confirmed to the local outlet that three curfew violations were issued in connection with the gathering. A 16-year-old girl was also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

Arrest them, and part of their penalty should be confiscation of their phones.

Me also. But in ChiTown this is no surprise. The Southside has been a scum bucket for decades. This is just their hordes running wild in the streets. What is “deadly”? They have “deadly” nearly every night and especially on the weekends with all the combat in Baghdad city.

We know who they are by tracking their iPhone tower pings, if some one would just look.

“Teen trends”. The archaic word for that is Negritude.

What about the people who didn’t “vote their way into this?”
