'Crime has gone through the roof. I've lived in this area since 1964 – I've never seen it so bad,' one resident said. 'Ms. Mayor, Kim Foxx, Tim Evans, Pritzker – you live right in this area. Do something.'
, residents were demanding more cameras, more lighting, and more police patrols. It all comes one day after a chaotic scene near North Avenue Beach where an estimated 400 young people spilled out into the street after what aldermen labeled an "illegal party" was shut down.
A flyer that spread on social media seemingly encouraged attendees to bring alcohol and drugs. Police got wind of the event beforehand and secured all entrances to the beach and nearby pedestrian bridges.Caught on camera: Video shows teens flooding Chicago's North Side, disrupting traffic A large group of teens gathered in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood Wednesday night. Now -- many are wondering if this is a sign of summer trouble ahead.
Alderwoman Michelle Smith of the 43rd Ward says Chicago police did an excellent job deescalating what could have been a very bad situation. "I saw reports of people fighting – there weren't any fights," she said. "There were young people … jumping on cars and twerking. And the police said, ‘if you don’t stop, we'll arrest you all.' And they stopped. So I think it was a very appropriate use of police discretion. No stores were broken into. No violence was done."Alderwoman Smith says she's working with the city to make sure the promoter of Wednesday's event is identified and prosecuted.
