Video of an incident reported by CWB yesterday has been posted on YouTube. The clip shows Gay Pride Parade spectators dancing on top of an unattended patrol car outside of Stella's Diner, 3042 N. Broadway at Barry.
They could have chosen to smash Stella's windows, but showed a subliminal disrespect for the CPD, not that the local commandant has done much to earn respect, which is a 2-way street.
Are these people even gay? Look at that picture. I saw an army of obnoxious straight girls yelling, screaming and thrashing around when I went through the crowd at the parade.
Why has that parade been going on for decades with almost no trouble what-so-ever, and now, in last few years it's bedlam? Last year, and this year again, I've had friends say that it seems to be a very straight crowd now. It's the same people who showed up to trash the area after the Hawks won. I was watching hoards of people pass by my window after it ended, and I thought to myself, "Do any gay people come to this thing anymore?" It's not about gay pride now...it's about coming into the neighborhood to get drunk and act like trash.
My own estimate for pride this year: 20% actually gay. We don't jump on cars. We drink and make out and throw a pre-breakfast party. These people were the worst.
Chicago's pride parade seemed to be pretty trashy this year, but did you see Seattle? These people look like JUGGALOS to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utyiN7g0TkE
If they're brazen enough to do to a Cop Car, what makes anyone think they'd care about Joe Schmoe's car.
ReplyDeleteNot west side thugs either.

ReplyDeleteThey were attacking cab drivers on Halsted at 8pm last "pride fest". I have that on video.
ReplyDeleteCome December 10th, my cab driver downtown said she "ain't going anywhere near that 10 bars of Xmas thing" (or whatever it was).
Come to Chicago, act a fool. Buy a condo too!
(and it's also about the gay bars making a quick $ and catering to this crowd........"Pride"? Pride?!)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the video link, A. It gets interesting around 2:40. NSFW audio, ya'll.
