Small Child Runs In The Middle Of Diversey

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:56pm. School was decent but tiring. Busy, too, I might add. I had to run around to find the administrators so they could give me permission to ride the CTA home on Friday. I'm staying after school for a meeting. Yeah, I have to get permission, because I'm assigned to the school bus. Anyway, today starts Mexican Independence month, which means there will be parades tonight all up and down Fullerton and Diversey. I'm hoping everything stays peaceful, but I am keeping a close eye on things in case something jumps off. With that, here's crime for this afternoon and evening.

Did anyone hear about a car accident right near the Kedzie blue line where a woman was hit and possibly died?

Anonymous 8:36, I haven't heard about it. Maybe some of the other readers have.

Anonymous 8:44, I agree. It's nothing but gunshots at these parades. That's sad, too. If people act like this, they should cancel it up here, I think.

So why do they let them celebrate like this? Why don't the city buy water cannons like the ones they use in most European countries?

Hmmm, down in Mexico or Puerto Rico they don't do this nonsense, so why here? Probably there the cops would kick their asses. But here, the cops just sit on their hands doing nothing about crime.
