Under the guise of pretending to care, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing anything but enforcing the law and holding people accountable for their actions. Rather than make crime punishable again, the mayor has decided that blaming third-party social media companies is more appropriate than officials doing their jobs.

Over Memorial Day weekend, dozens of people were arrested in connection with a violent “teen takeover” in the city. If you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.

Per ABC 7:

From day into the night, Memorial Day weekend closed out with a teen takeover at 57th Street Beach in Hyde Park.

Several people were arrested, and three people were shot nearby. The shooting happened around 10 p.m. Monday in the 1600-block of East 55th Street.

CPD said 53 people were arrested in connection with Monday's teen takeover. Thirteen people, including eight juveniles, were charged with felonies.

Many juveniles were also charged with "aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.” This is a crime that most people live their entire lives without committing. Even toddlers know not to act like this. The city, however, does not seem to see the connection between blaming everyone and anyone besides the ones committing the crimes and an increase in incidents.

Seven boys -- a 14-year-old, a 15-year-old, a 16-year-old, and four 17-year-olds -- are charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. A 16-year-old girl is charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer.

Police said 21 people, including 10 juveniles, were charged with disorderly conduct for failure to obey an order to disperse and one juvenile was charged with disorderly conduct for breach of peace.

Now, the mayor and officials are discussing whether to hold social media companies accountable for something that is not their job.

That means having the tools to make arrests, and there is a growing call from Snelling, alderpersons, and the mayor to make parents accountable. Because the teen trends gain steam on social media, St. Sabina's youth organizer, Lamar Johnson, says many parents are aware and even enable their kids.

While the mayor would like to blame anyone but the teens causing the crime, maybe, just maybe, it is the lack of accountability that creates a culture where lawlessness thrives. Since the beginning of time, it has been understood that consequences for one's actions deter people from doing bad things. Why is this so hard for the city to comprehend? We are not talking about rocket science here.

In the name of progress, city officials continue to turn a blind eye to public safety, while mocking those with genuine concerns, and pretending to do a thing or two about a thing or two, as they mull holding social media companies accountable. Call me crazy, but if we are going to hold anyone accountable, you would think it would be the ones committing these crimes. I don't know. That is just my two cents. Draw your own conclusions.
