Daley Murders English, Blames Burbs

Honestly, it's entertaining as hell watching this marble-mouth speak:

• Mayor Richard Daley and Police Supt. Jody Weis today said the city will work to make sure the beaches are safe this summer, following 22 arrests of young people who were fighting and causing other disturbances this week around North Avenue Beach.
  
  "They text people, where people are going in congregation," Daley said. "So you make a number of arrests, a number of arrests were both city and suburban. We had a lot of suburban people arrested."
  
  [...] Weis said that of the 22 people arrested Monday and Tuesday on the beach, 14 were suburbanites.

So they were suburbanites? Damn those suburban purveyors of mayhem and chaos! Where ever they go "in congregation" it seems, disaster follows.

We're assuming Barrington? Highland Park? Lake Forest?

Here's the thing - it's all smoke and mirrors that Shortshanks and J-Fled are blowing. It doesn't matter where they came from. The fact is they came here and caused problems and the Department is unable to react quickly enough to stop it. There's no deterrent effect in place.

Oh wait, there are the cameras installed today. That's going to be passed off as a deterrent. But as stated here and elsewhere, when was the last time a camera climbed off a pole and arrested someone? Cameras provide only a false sense of security. Without coppers to physically arrest people, cameras don't mean squat.
