The cleanup began Sunday morning.
About 50 people gathered Sunday morning to protest near Lightfoot’s house in the city’s Logan Square neighborhood. “We came to be here as soon as the curfew lifted to tell her that, you know, there shouldn’t be a curfew,” said Brian Bean, one of the protesters. “I want people to not arrest normal people like me and people that I know.”
“I will not allow criminals to take over our city and shame us,” Lightfoot said at a hastily arranged press conference Saturday evening. “I want to express my disappointment, really, my total disgust at the number of others who came to the day’s protest armed for all-out battle.”
