Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Institutes Teen Curfew in Attempt to Curb Gun Violence

After a shooting at Chicago’s famous Millennium Park killed a teenager over the weekend, Mayor Lori Lightfoot has announced she will institute a 10 p.m. weekend curfew for minors. The Chicago Tribune reports that the Windy City does already have an 11 p.m. curfew for minors, but Lightfoot has moved that up to 10 p.m. This comes after an announcement on Sunday that minors will be allowed in Millennium Park after 6 p.m. on weekends if they are accompanied by an adult.

[i]Why didn't someone think of this before?
It's so easy!
Make it illegal for criminals carrying stolen guns to leave the house!
Easy-Peasy.[/i]

With the violent crime that plagues Chicago anyone really think the CPD is going to be able to effectively enforce any curfews? They have one now for 11 PM- how’s that working out?

I'm sure the murderers are respecting the curfew laws and getting all their killing done before hand.

@Budwick yeah, they don’t want that dreaded slap on the wrist.
