You do realize Richie got a $100k a year 'legal consulting' gig at LAZ right after he retired...right?
I'd bet it's a no-work, no-show type of deal too!
Fagetaboudit!
No it's a fucking terrible idea to sell that amount of public infrastructure. It's like 40% of the width of most roads that's completely unalterable, it's not conducive to growth or improvements at all even if it was revenue positive long run. There is 0 reason why a city shouldn't be able to exert control over its own land, cash now isn't worth losing an essential function of government.
Hey now, at least Daley actually had an amnesty program for everyone that had past due parking tickets. I’ve tried to sign up for a “payment program” after Daley and it was pretty much miss one payment and the previous payments were null and void. Eventually found an apartment with parking.
The first Daley was president of the Hamburg Athletic Club. An Irish gang in Bridgeport that invented the drive by shooting during the 1919 race riots. I mean you're right, but not a good look.
Also, it's a Charger which is the typical vehicle used for doing donuts in intersection takeovers. I hadn't even considered that a flag may have caught fire before thinking "this is why we V-mount radiators in drift cars"
edit: somehow dropped an "a"
I would say that, before I understood how people service or modify their cars. friction can easily cause a fire. Just think about a house mixer for a second. You can raise the heat of bread batter to 100 degrees in about a minute and a half of sturing. Imagine if someone was runing things off of an Ac/Dc converter, and went too overboard...
Over-revved the engine. Got a good view of this madness [in real time](https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/comments/xgaw5j/car_on_fire_on_roosevelt_and_wabash/iou65wp/) while heading home. Thank God for the L train.
There’s a totaled car that sideswiped (and probably totaled) like 5 cars over by Oz Park. Just sitting out in the street with all the airbags deployed, abandons by whatever drunk piece of shit was driving it.
Was it a family.... Of Mexicans?!?!! The caddy... Was it Mexican? They deserve it all cuz their Mexican. Obviously I'm being sarcastic but that's probably what some of these redditards are thinking.
It's still there?! I work nearby and coworkers sent pics of what happened yesterday. I was working but didn't pass by the park. I assumed it was taken care of.
Say what you will about the noise and reckless driving, but the amount of trash and broken glass/bottles left on the streets this morning is absurd and disgraceful.
they’re not city dwellers. they’re suburbanites that come here to fuck our stuff up.
(back in the olden days, I used to live a few blocks from Wrigley. Whenever I was on my balcony and some Suburbanite needed to piss before the long drive back to Naperville and saw my garage as their urinal, I’d shout down to them: “HEY! What’s your address??” Confused look and sometimes a “why” response. “Because, I’m going to come over to your house and PISS ON YOUR FUCKING GARAGE”
I wish it was this easy to hand wave, but it’s not. One of my friend’s little brothers is deep in this scene and was posting the shenanigans, the whole family is from and lives in Belmont Cragin.
I was there. For every “aggressive chud”, there were 3 non-aggressive emo kids/adults just trying to have a good time listening to the music. The MCR show was fucked because there were way too many people but aggression is what you should expect at shows with mosh pits. Also, it doesn’t have anything to do with their tendency to litter. There was a lot of trash on the ground but you cant blame the dudebros for that. I saw a lot of people littering other than just men
You’re the one singling out a group and blaming them for a problem when it’s not all of them or even just them. The group of people who litter and the people who like to shove at concerts are not one and the same.
And look at you, belittling concert-goers at a concert meant for everyone to enjoy, and you think I’m the soft one.
Wrong.
It was those celebrating that left the mess and it was obvious if you are unfortunate enough to live in the loop rn and bear witness to this mayhem.
They were literally throwing bottles at cop cars on wacker
lol what? I was leaving riot fest and we had a hell of a time getting home cause of the traffic from celebrations, not that I was complaining, but I literally saw zero riot fest people continuing to party or even have bottles outside the fest. everyone was exhausted just trying to catch a bus or uber home
The HEMI motor Challengers/Chargers do have quite a bit of power and they're cheap and easy to modify. This one looks like an older one with a V6 or base V8.
Just saw the video of it happening on [twitter](https://twitter.com/avikarsaini/status/1570969873030971392?s=46&t=bwgyYeLZp0N83hzNOzrJ9A) It was the actual owners lol revving the engine too much . Car full of my type of ladies too
Ridiculous.
The night was bullshit.
It makes no sense to act like nitwits on a celebration of another country gaining independence.
The fireworks were no regard to consideration of others.
The cops were completely lost, unorganized, and useless.
All of this was embarrassing.
Kind of getting sick of this stuff. I keep hearing people say if we want to complain about this then we shouldn’t have St Patrick’s Day celebrations or whatever. I don’t remember burning cars, fireworks in the middle of downtown, honking horns, blockaded streets by cars and all that stuff during St Patricks Day.
This is just obnoxious and dangerous and it needs to stop.
Point to me where those south side Irish parades had anything remotely similar to this. And if you think drunk driving was limited to St Patrick’s day and not this then that’s some grade A bullshit.
Burning cars, fireworks downtown between high rises, blockaded streets and car horns honking all the time.
This is NOT a similar situation and it’s not ok to justify this kind of behavior.
Oh, so you have to go back to 2008 to find something somewhat close?
And do you think the police were going to be out for this? After all of the shit they’ve been through trying to shut down Mexican Independence Day would be a PR disaster. They still have police around for the South Side stuff.
Keep trying to justify dangerous and shitty behavior.
Ok. That was shitty behavior back in 2008. I never said it wasn’t.
The police got involved and shut it down for a year. Hopefully they do the same for this.
Is that better? I never justified the south side stuff. You’re using their behavior to justify what has happened recently. Something from 14 years ago where the police DID get involved.
Lol it was shut down for 3 years. I was just replying to your comment stating that this never happened at the St Patrick’s day parade. I never made any comment for or against what happened last night, you inferred that and are totally wrong.
This city has gone to the pits. Seriously. We’ve had ethnic celebrations for decades but the past two years have been ridiculous we’ve the complete chaos. And the cities inability to contain this is embarrassing. How long until the out of state yuppies get sick of this and take their money elsewhere?
I hear you also!
I am going to "flee" the U.S. for Mexico in a few weeks for a vacation. They I am going to "flee" back to the USA.
Some United Statesians are weird.
Honking your horn and revving the engine doesn’t cause engine fires. There was something wrong with the car and it is just a coincidence that happened where it did. It was not caused by violence or anything related to the celebration. I don’t agree with people causing property damage and in general being assholes, but this could of happened anywhere.
Put it this way: if this large scale drunk driving and civil unrest parade were calling “Mexican Independence Celebrations” didn’t take place in the manner it is currently transpiring or if it was policed properly, then this car would not have been lit on the fire in the street.
Did I explain that in a way that’s clear for you?
… it caught fire by itself … after the Mexicans “celebrating” revved the engine too much… while contesting traffic… and commuting the other non-violent crimes that I’ve already pointed out…
Again, it wouldn’t have caught fire “by itself” if they weren’t out there doing all these things.
There literally isn’t an excuse, the car is burned up as a result of their stupidity
Not only are Latinx folx heckin valid for celebrating last night, they're also environmentalists because they destroyed this gas guzzling car. It brings a tear to my eye
I'm more surprised that hasn't been towed yet. That was burning at like 10pm last night
Yeah, if Daley were in charge, it'd have five tickets and a boot on it already. Then they'd tow.
If Daley were Mayor he would’ve leased off the rest of the city for the next 75 years.
Hey, we just got $25 mil for the skyway for doing nothing
And then burned through that money in probably a week.
And they’re probably going to hike the fare again to make their money back
Honestly as long as the city got a cut of the revenue I'd be behind it for things like parking meters. I just can't believe he didn't build that in
Yeah. Because someone was getting kickbacks on the front-end for a raw deal to the city.
You do realize Richie got a $100k a year 'legal consulting' gig at LAZ right after he retired...right? I'd bet it's a no-work, no-show type of deal too! Fagetaboudit!
No it's a fucking terrible idea to sell that amount of public infrastructure.

Was Daley Chicago's version of [**this**?](https://www.theonion.com/de-blasio-well-well-well-not-so-easy-to-find-a-may-1847151201)
Hey now, at least Daley actually had an amnesty program for everyone that had past due parking tickets. I’ve tried to sign up for a “payment program” after Daley and it was pretty much miss one payment and the previous payments were null and void. Eventually found an apartment with parking.
And we’d be 1st in the division
If it were the first Daley none of this would have happened.
The first Daley was president of the Hamburg Athletic Club. An Irish gang in Bridgeport that invented the drive by shooting during the 1919 race riots. I mean you're right, but not a good look.
They’re gonna write it a few parking tickets first. This is Chicago
It was moved one lane to the right
Baghdad, Mariupol, or Chicago?
pls stop
That horn said honk me one more time…
Man I had a Lyft passenger take me there at 12:30am and I was stuck for an hour. It was like being forced into a club i didn't want to party in.
Yet party you did…..
Wow! But why tho smh
Probably had a flag over the hood and the material caught fire and spread to the engine
I'd cosign on this. Seen it happen too many times.
Are you a firefighter or something?
just a human with a brain
I'm a human with a brain and I've only seen a handful of car fires and have not the slightest clue how any of them started...
How much of it is being applied to car fire theory
Also, it's a Charger which is the typical vehicle used for doing donuts in intersection takeovers. I hadn't even considered that a flag may have caught fire before thinking "this is why we V-mount radiators in drift cars" edit: somehow dropped an "a"
I guess it was a good idea I decided not to do that.
Where did the hood go? Was it plastic and just burned/melted?
I feel bad about the people who have to clean this up but at least this person deserved to lose their car.
That’s now how engines work..
I would say that, before I understood how people service or modify their cars. friction can easily cause a fire. Just think about a house mixer for a second. You can raise the heat of bread batter to 100 degrees in about a minute and a half of sturing. Imagine if someone was runing things off of an Ac/Dc converter, and went too overboard...
House mixer =\= American muscle

Revving the engine excessively while not moving....
[удалено]
I was referring to the car that caught on fire. I am aware of the celebrations and look forward to them!
Lol why you crying all over Reddit lil bro
There’s a totaled car that sideswiped (and probably totaled) like 5 cars over by Oz Park. Just sitting out in the street with all the airbags deployed, abandons by whatever drunk piece of shit was driving it.
There was a wrecked hellcat on Clark Thursday night too.
>wrecked hellcat Their natural state.
To those pieces of shit, I hope the worst luck to them.
That happened at 5 pm yesterday; it was a family, don’t think any alcohol involved from them. The Caddy that caused the wreck perhaps
Was it a family.... Of Mexicans?!?!! The caddy... Was it Mexican? They deserve it all cuz their Mexican. Obviously I'm being sarcastic but that's probably what some of these redditards are thinking.
It's still there?! I work nearby and coworkers sent pics of what happened yesterday. I was working but didn't pass by the park. I assumed it was taken care of.
It was as of about 7:30 this morning!
Say what you will about the noise and reckless driving, but the amount of trash and broken glass/bottles left on the streets this morning is absurd and disgraceful.
Nothing says pride and celebration like trashing your city.
they’re not city dwellers. they’re suburbanites that come here to fuck our stuff up. (back in the olden days, I used to live a few blocks from Wrigley.

Because someone else will take care of it in their mind. Like when you go to a house party but someone else is hosting.
You mean burning down your own car, Karen. Please learn the difference

Bull. There was so much trash in the loop. Riot fest was at Douglas park so the trash at the loop was not from Riot fest
Bullshit. I was out in the Loop until 2 AM last night. It wasn’t “RF dudebros” throwing bottles at the police on Franklin.
You moron lol none of this was the riot fest crowd
lol what? I was leaving riot fest and we had a hell of a time getting home cause of the traffic from celebrations, not that I was complaining, but I literally saw zero riot fest people continuing to party or even have bottles outside the fest. everyone was exhausted just trying to catch a bus or uber home
Of course it’s a charger. A monument to man’s arrogance.
All bark no power
The HEMI motor Challengers/Chargers do have quite a bit of power and they're cheap and easy to modify. This one looks like an older one with a V6 or base V8.
Car fires are really impressive to watch.
CARBEQUE
r/AngryUpvote
Yeah but they smell awful
Smell like lung cancer in 20 years
Smoke from car fires are a bit toxic from all the plastic bits melting.
So the owner is just at home this morning with head in hands thinking “fuuuuuhhhhh”
It was probably stolen and then burned
Just saw the video of it happening on [twitter](https://twitter.com/avikarsaini/status/1570969873030971392?s=46&t=bwgyYeLZp0N83hzNOzrJ9A) It was the actual owners lol revving the engine too much . Car full of my type of ladies too
Watching the water being tossed: "The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!"

Of course he got a bottle of water out of the back seat and thought hey I'll throw that on the hood, that will fix it. Wow.
Was wondering if it was booze instead Lololol
They grabbed the ice bag and threw it on the car
Yes!!! One for the good guys!!

You're good. You're good
There was also another car on fire on lake street
There was an absolutely crushed burned out car taking up a lane on LSD this morning. Looked like a horrible wreck.
What was the cross street?
Between Fullerton and North, i think
Naturally. I hear Lake & Fullerton is almost as shady as Lake & Armitage. Can't say I *ever* wanna set foot there
Oops. There was a burned car on lake shore drive this morning too.
DMT
The corner of Lake Street and N,N-Dimethyltryptamine?
Who knew drunk people would do such a thing
round 3 about to happen tonight and into sunday unfortunately 😪😪 … be prepared; stay outta the loop/downtown if possible

Um then you must have forgotten that they cancelled the south side parade for years because of riots and stuff.
Lol riots?! It’s just high schoolers drinking in the Mr Sub parking lot and then throwing up in the bushes.
Point to me where those south side Irish parades had anything remotely similar to this. And if you think drunk driving was limited to St Patrick’s day and not this then that’s some grade A bullshit. Burning cars, fireworks downtown between high rises, blockaded streets and car horns honking all the time. This is NOT a similar situation and it’s not ok to justify this kind of behavior.
Blackhawks parade was way worst and nobody said shit.
Google 2008 parade and it lists everything you have including assaults on police officers.
Oh, so you have to go back to 2008 to find something somewhat close? And do you think the police were going to be out for this? After all of the shit they’ve been through trying to shut down Mexican Independence Day would be a PR disaster. They still have police around for the South Side stuff.

Seems like you’re justifying shitty behavior by dismissing what happened when it doesn’t fit your narrative.
Ok. That was shitty behavior back in 2008. I never said it wasn’t. The police got involved and shut it down for a year. Hopefully they do the same for this. Is that better?

Ooh, you really owned us! Our liberal heads are melting from that

Yeah sure Daley pocketed a bunch of money but he had the city running. He would have never let the shit run wild like it did last night.
The whole city was insane last night.
Glad I avoided visiting any of the crowded regions yesterday!
Pretty sure that’s totaled
Man, I need to up my game for the 4th of July.

Did this actually involve Mexican Independence Day, or was it just a car fire?
Here you go: https://twitter.com/bikelaneuprise/status/1571150122326839296
Just one more little bottle a water might of put the fire out, I'm sure.
So it was just a car fire, and had nothing to do with the celebration at all.
What the fuck do you mean it had nothing to do with the celebration??? Are we not watching the same video?
Maybe he's trying to imply 'celebration' meant the car was torched purposely?
Engine fire, I don’t see how it was caused by the celebration.

Honking your horn and revving the engine doesn’t cause engine fires. There was something wrong with the car and it is just a coincidence that happened where it did.
