Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd) is pushing to implement a curfew on unaccompanied minors downtown following an attack last week on a couple by a group of teenagers.
The couple were on a date Friday night when they were surrounded by a group of teens who began beating them about 9 p.m. near Grand Avenue and McClurg Court in Streeterville, Chicago police said.
Police say the man, 40, was hit several times in the head by a 14-year-old boy, and the woman had her hair pulled out by a 17-year-old girl.

Are the police going to randomly stop groups of people who look like they might be "unaccompanied teens" and demand to see ID? What if one of the group is 18 years old? An adult "accompanying" the rest?
A point that will never be tested because there will be no attempt to enforce it, rather than an unsuccessful attempt. At most curfew violation will be an additional charge if a "teen" already somehow got arrested for something else.
Amish teens?
Them...........................
Much of society lives in fear.
I wonder who is to blame for that?
Anyway, curfews are raciss.
Dinnit doo nuffin
Slap my forhead! Who knew it was that simple. Give the “alderPERSON” a no bells piece prize. Fidiots!
Mass punishment of the well behaved along with the hoods. Better to cease coddling criminal young people and to abandon permissive parenting.
Boom-laka-laka-laka

Gee, do you think if they actually punished them for committing a crime the rest of those considering their options might choose not to commit a crime?
we just drove thru a little town in Virginia with a curfew for teens. Great idea IMHO.
If the “teens” are in prison they won’t commit a crime against civilians outside the prison.
Easy peasy.
It’s time for a no bag limit on these hooligans.
...who look like they might be “unaccompanied teens” and demand to see ID?

Could be a problem. Especially since we all know that if said teen was “african american” they wouldn’t have an I.D. because, you know, our society can’t possibly expect a person to have an I.D. to prove who they are. /S
End racism now! Or something like that. I’m sure it was the crackas fault. Probably gave the attackers the “side eye”.
All well and good. Highly doubt that it will be effective.
