Chicago police conduct 'mass arrest' in Lakeview following Pride parade

Chicago's decline and fall continues. 

"They said pride," WGN-TV's Brónagh Tumulty says here, "before the fall." She said it, not me. 

Over 50 people were arrested, some with felonies, after what appears to have been a nighttime riot after Sunday's Pride Parade in Lakeview. 

But Cook County's catch-and-release alleged prosecutor, Kim Foxx, very well may drop all of the charges. It is her nature.

The Democrat National Convention comes to the West Side next month.

Look out.

At least 35 shot and 4 killed over weekend in Chicago; Pride Parade riot?

June is over and people are still shooting each other in Chicago. Over the past weekend, four people were shot to death and at least 31 others wounded.

Of the fatalities, three were the result of an early Sunday morning argument in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side.

The night before, a man was shot to death in Humboldt Park on the Northwest Side.

Also of note was the Pride Parade. Sunday afternoon, in the Lakeview neighborhood on the North Side, the annual Pride Parade took place. But the party continued into early morning where the police said a "mass arrest" occurred. Details are still trickling in, but it appears what happened was a riot.

Next month, the Democrat National Convention comes to Chicago.

Just saying.
