Chicago ‘peacekeeper’ charged with beating, robbing man in Little Village
CWB Chicago ^ | 5/28/23 | staff

A Chicago man who wore a neon yellow “peacekeepers” vest helped a group of people beat and rob a motorist in Little Village on Friday night, according to a Chicago Police Department report.

Oscar Montes, 31, is scheduled to appear in felony bond court Sunday afternoon on charges of robbery, aggravated battery, and unlawful vehicular invasion, a CPD spokesperson said.

City and state officials have lauded the use of “peacekeepers” as a tool they would deploy over the Memorial Day weekend to tamp down violence across the city.

“Were you familiar with Brandon’s background? It’s left of Lightfoot.”


I was. My comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I suspect, however, that Brandon was not elected by the true voters. I suspect he was installed by the Chicago machine that has installed every mayor for decades. Lightfoot had outlived her usefulness. It will take a year or so before Brandon does the same. Then, the whispers of corruption will start, and Chicago will be embroiled in the same turmoil that has been a force of that city’s politics since before the great Chicago fire.
