ROAD RAGE IN CHICAGO: Two men go at it after an argument on the streets. One gets out of his car and starts bashing the other driver's window.
Then the driver of the other car decides to turn around and ram the guy's truck.
Chicago looks like a lovely city.

I love this, Kerwin Swift. Thank you. I really appreciate you making this video for me. I can’t tag anyone right now since I just got my page back.
243 violent criminals can no longer be tracked.
Chicago’s electronic monitoring system is broken ,and people are paying the price. Repeat offenders and violent criminals are slipping through, and families are left unprotected.
Even worse: people on these monitors have been lost, and we need a full investigation into who’s profiting from these failures. Issuing these monitors, and getting Kickbacks.
Corruption, and mismanagement have no place in our city.
When I’m Mayor:
Overhaul the monitoring system so it actually works.
Hold repeat violent offenders in jail
Expose and end the corruption lining the pockets of the insiders.
Give Chicagoans safety, transparency, and justice they deserve.
No more failures. No more excuses.
Chicagoans come first.

Chicago has expanded its non-police crisis response team citywide. They now respond to some calls that would normally go to the police, including mental health crisis calls.
Right now, the service is only available Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Maywood Illinois mayor passed out drunk in his car on the express way by downtown Chicago arrested for DUI after putting on a show for the Chicago PD.
Chicago Police officers found a vehicle stopped dead in a live lane of traffic on the I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway) near Canal Street. Behind the wheel was Nathaniel George Booker, the Mayor of Maywood, Illinois—not just pulled over, but fast asleep while his SUV sat in a position that could have easily caused a fatal high-speed collision.
The "Special Treatment" Standard
What follows in the bodycam footage is a masterclass in professional—arguably overly accommodating—policing. Most citizens found slumped over a wheel on a major interstate, slurring their speech and refusing to follow basic commands, would be handled with far less patience.
Throughout the encounter, Booker:
Repeatedly invoked his status:
"I'm the mayor of a f*ing town."
Refused to put the car in park or exit the vehicle initially.
Claimed he didn't trust the officers or their squad car.
Effectively shut down the investigation by refusing field sobriety tests and a breathalyzer.
Despite his belligerence and the high-stakes danger he posed to other drivers, the officers remained remarkably calm, giving him multiple opportunities to cooperate that the average driver likely wouldn't receive.
Because Booker refused to blow, Illinois’ Implied Consent law should have triggered an automatic 12-month license suspension. He was initially charged with a DUI.
However, the legal system worked differently for the Mayor:
The Plea: His DUI charge was eventually reduced to a Reckless Driving conviction.
The Rescission: shortly after incident, he announced his license suspension was rescinded at a town board meeting.
The Justification: Despite the video evidence of him asleep at the wheel on a highway and his refusal to cooperate, the court claimed a "lack of evidence" for the DUI.
The Final Twist
You would think a video of a public official using his title to dodge accountability after a dangerous expressway incident would be the end of a political career.
Believe it or not: Nathaniel George Booker stayed in power and was re-elected as Mayor of Maywood in April 2025, securing over 60% of the vote.
Does the "Mayor" title come with a different set of laws, or did the voters simply decide this was a mistake worth overlooking?
Watching this video is eye opening for me as I used to live in Chicago and I have friends that are active Chicago police officers right now. They are terrified to do their job the way they should be because of retaliation by being called racist or being accused of being to forcefull. That city has to be one of the worst places to be a cop. You guys are seeing less than half of the interaction with this mayor as I had to edit it down for time. Just trying to talk him into a car off the expressway I had enough footage to double the length of this video. They were treating him with kid gloves.

When I'm in a "The dystopian future is already here" mood I head over to River Oaks Mall in Calumet City, IL
There's a spot by the abandoned Sears store and dilapidated food court where you can take a few puffs and feed the wildlife.
