The shooting in the bleachers at Guaranteed Rate Field was a disaster. It's time for Chicago's mayor to stop dodging questions.
Baseball fans enter through metal detectors for a game between the White Sox and the Athletics at Guaranteed Rate Field, Aug. 26, 2023, a day after two women were struck by bullets.
But we’ll begin with this. When gun violence is a constant, it is easy to become inured to its consequences, both in terms of the safety of Chicagoans and its impact on the city’s reputation. In the latter case especially, Friday was a disaster for the White Sox and Chicago. It’s remarkable how little outrage has been expressed or how little explanation for what happened has been demanded by the news media.That’s because there were vested interests in saying as little as possible.
Chicago police interim Superintendent Fred Waller after a CPD promotion and graduation ceremony at Navy Pier on Aug. 28, 2023, where he talked about the gunfire at the White Sox game. Waller should have said something more like this: When the Chicago police ask for a game to be stopped because two people got shot in the bleachers, stopped it should be until the police say otherwise. Why didn’t that happen?Advertisementas reported by the Tribune
