‘What Are We Going To Have Left In Our Community?’ Aldermen React with Panic, Sorrow to Unrest | Chicago News | WTTW

‘What Are We Going To Have Left In Our Community?’ Aldermen React with Panic, Sorrow to Unrest | Chicago News | WTTW

This phone conference with Mayor Lori Lightfoot and city council members apparently happened two days ago as of this writing, on June 3. It is pretty grim. There was looting all over Chicago and in a number of suburbs, including 30 miles away in Naperville.  I live just outside the City of Chicago, in Oak Park. There was quite a bit of looting here. On the east side of Oak Park, which borders Chicago, several stores on Madison just east of Austin Blvd. are boarded up, as were a number of stores elsewhere in OP, including the Target way over on Harlem and even some stores in River Forest. But I think the looting and shooting have stopped.
