“Wilding” is the term for mobs of violent young people taking over upscale neighborhoods and wreaking havoc, looting, mugging and attacking innocent people just for the fun of it. A “good” neighborhood is no guarantee of safety anymore in Chicago. The breakdown of civil order, in other words, is well underway in the Windy City. Bit by bit, civilization is slipping away in Chicago.
But if you want to know how bad things have gotten there, the major media outlets are no help. The last thing they want is for people to stay away from The Mag Mile – the stretch of Michigan Avenue just north of the Chicago River – full of glittering shopping, towering condo buildings and hotels, and the iconic Water Tower that is Chicago’s rival to Fifth Avenue around the Trump Tower. You have to go to Second City Cop and CWB Chicago, two grass roots websites that are not afraid of alienating big advertisers or of a phone call from City Hall.
8:22PM — “Mayhem,” says the downtown police dispatcher, taking a few brief seconds to summarize what she and Chicago cops are dealing with.
8:26PM — Lakeview: Officers call for backup. Fifteen to 20 people are beating up a boy who tried to prevent them from stealing a bike at the Lane Tech High School Memorial Day carnival. Story here.
8:39PM — 70 or 80 teens coming off the Chicago Red Line. “Tell Water Tower to close their doors; otherwise, they gotta let ‘em in.”
8:42PM — Fights behind the historic Water Tower. Crowd: 200 people, per dispatcher.
8:45PM — “Water Tower is closed. There’s one door open so people can exit.”
8:46PM — Cop: “Got a large fight on Pearson just east of Michigan.” “Have Water Tower lock their doors.

Do you remember the term “whirlpooling”? Also a new part of our vocabulary from the Dinkins era; a group of young male ferals would surround a young girl in a city pool, start swimming circles around her, and then take turns entering the center and molesting her...
Didn’t the “bathroom attendant” close the pools for a time over that?
Oh, he did even better; from the NY Times:
“Wearing a button that read “Don’t Dis Your Sis,” Mayor David N. Dinkins yesterday announced the start of a public relations campaign aimed at encouraging young men to respect their female counterparts.
The campaign was spurred by a recent spate of sexual assaults at city pools in which young men, often chanting rap lyrics, wrapped arms and churned through the water, ripping the bathing suits off young girls and fondling them in a phenomenon known as “the whirlpool.” The police said five such attacks, all at different pools, were reported in less than a week with the latest reported on Sunday. Three youths were arrested in that attack.
Mr. Dinkins said he was outraged by the assaults.
“Part of what we want to try to do is to educate our young people,” Mr. Dinkins said. “We want to try to convey to them that it is not appropriate behavior, that it is in no way macho to put upon young girls. It just isn’t.”
The campaign will distribute flyers and buttons bearing the slogans “Don’t Dis Your Sis” and “Whirlpool Ain’t Cool” at local pools, and broadcast public service announcements on local radio stations, said Joyce F. Brown, Deputy Mayor for Public and Community Affairs,”
What a sh!thole...
At least, thanks to Dinkins, we got Giulliani.
Best mayor by far in the 57 years I lived in Fun City.
I left right after Rudy did.
We seem to have reached the point where mob behavior is officially treated as a legitimate form of reparations.
Bloomberg kept the lid on things, but now its all undone...
