Hyde Park Summer Fest canceled due to rising security costs

[@AM74691]

This is why we can’t have nice things. A few always wreck it for the majority of people.

[@Planetsoul420]

A Few? 🤣🤣

[@MITdork]

​@@Planetsoul420 they're either dangerous OR EXHAUSTING 😕🚨

[@TheloniousJackson]

These events bring too many undesirables into the community.

Yea. U Don lemmon Yea u jussie smollets

[@applesidertea]

Bingo!

[@pgppe9488]

Why would anyone attend an event where people between the ages of 15-30 can attend?

[@ST8URCASE]

It is not only Hyde Park or Chicago, it is rural areas also. Any and everywhere "thug culture" is revered and normalized.

[@trekker1961]

Yes, I’ve heard it called the “Hug a Thug” culture. Instead of consequences, they get reverence.

[@MITdork]

Both are exhausting 😞

[@xamorus]

Oh, of course I move to Hyde Park just in time to only hear of the stories of how it used to be 😑

[@MatteBlack2024]

“Hip hop” is the key…

[@justdiane5]

It was a great small event that blew up and now is cancelled for everyone ☹️

[@jesusnodal8948]

Its people who just can't behave ruining festival's!! How very shameful!! People need to act like grown ups not like idiots!!

[@Steve-Willie]

It’s not like that unless certain folks attend. Some folks actually have a good time and try to take their trash with them so the park is clean as well. Certain folks leave trash, start fights and un alive people. Especially ones they were not aiming at.

I hope this is a grade school student and not an adult.. (start reading & investing in yourself either way)

[@Steve-Willie]

@@MITdork You make a condescending disparagement and then say good vibes and peace. You say knowledge is power but you added zero knowledge to the thread. That seems passive aggressive and is feminine behavior. In this case, whatever knowledge you do have, was outweighed by the lack of wisdom displayed. Jesus saves 🙏

Increased Security Required For One Breed. What Does That Tell You. So Sad.

Breed? It only took one of a different breed to ruin Highland Park's tragedy. It only takes one to ruin it for us all. We all suffer when all is said and done, so save your pettiness, and try not to relish the canceling of venues you had no interest in attending. Nothing "common sense" about your statement at all...

[@MITdork]

​@@xamorus why do you all use the one ancillary data point of the "lone wolf"?

[@commonsenseoldman1959]

@@xamorus Hi @XAMORUS great to hear from you. You are correct I was only going by the % Of the BREED population (13% or less) VS the entire population. But since I Have No(Common Sense) I like the way you picked up on that! What would you do in this situation? It’s really sad to see what happened to this BEAUTIFUL EVENT only because of a few USLESS THUGS! I hate to say it BUT until this BREED looks within themselves this will never stop. I wish I was wrong but I don’t BELIEVE I am. Let me know if you feel otherwise. Have a GREAT EVENING AllThe Best COMMON SENSE OLD MAN

Hyde Park crime scene ?

[@lamar3697]

They would've had sexy redd ice spice some hood rappers yeah no need to go there! It's gonna be a shoot out! Anywhere young people are it's not good in Chicago but the jazz fest will be there cause young people don't listen to that type of music

[@Planetsoul420]

But they will still find a way to ruin it 🤣🤣

[@rakeem176]

Its all ghetto and dangerous don't go there

[@JohnPublic-dk7zd]

Just cancel all of summer right now...throw in the fall, as until folks learn how to act everything in Chicago is at risk...unfortunately, the 'powers that be' responsible for the mayhem are contemplating an online convention, as they fear facing the voters they have inflicted with this mess...they want, and expect your vote, but don't want to face you...what could go wrong with that...

[@wello5839]

What they are saying they don't want a bunch of animals gathering in Hyde Park and I can't blame them because people Behavior exhibits animalistic Behavior but as a matter of fact animals are well-behaved then humans nowadays and that is a fact

[@TheloniousJackson]

Go back to your cave you Neanderthal

[@paulaheckman9928]

OMG, animals are 1000x better then people. I'll be happy when it's either RAPTURE or aliens invade us.

[@michaelkennedy6415]

This is (much like the closing of Walgreens in inner-cities) a product of today. “If you cannot play nice, we’ll have to take away your nice toys 🧸.”

[@dirkd7510]

Yeah death of another summer concert, I can only hope they get rid of Lalapalooza here in Chicago. It deprives the Citizen access to Grant Park but the city makes too much money for them to cancel it.

[@VegasSportsGaming]

You can’t do anything in Chicago anymore until you get control of the crime. Stop putting the cart before the horse. Fix the crime problem first then everything else will become easy

[@rakeem176]

Just stay home its dangerous out there

[@paulaheckman9928]

You have to be brave and say out loud who's causing the problems and how do we get the justice system to incarcerate them for years, not days or months. Until that happens, we'll always have crime problems.

[@streetlegalsprintcar]

Give it back to the POLKA festivals. Umpah lives matter ❤

[@MITdork]

Not just the upfront costs but any liabilities or frivolous lawsuits after the fact.. (ex: I tripped & broke my arm now I have to sue) 😔

[@tgirl1012]

True

[@soroyale7805]

I haven't been to any of these events since I've lived in the suburbs outside of Chicago and definitely don't plan it. People start fights for no reason at events up here. If they feel disrespected they resort to wanting to end life or harm you in some kind of way. A demonic force got a hold on Chicago and yall need to rebuke it or go on statewide fast or something.

[@waters18]

Good these festivals were dangerous I saw 2 guys with face masks holding guns and extended magazines as if they were looking for someone. Police arrested them 1 block away from the entry

[@Leroy-tj9jg]

@waters18; I just read your comment. These two people walked around and no security stopped them in there tracks? Is this in Chicago? I have visited there and we have a great time. Please explain Thanks.

@@paulaheckman9928 people go to concerts to act like idiots: to drink, smoke and eat too much. It is fun to be foolish with your friends and have a good time. Only these days, everyone has a gun. Used to be if people wanted to fight. They would fight. Their fists and kicks would not spray into the crowd and kill people. So yeah, I blame the guns. Because there has always been idiots. Or “garbage” as the term you use. But every piece of garbage is heavily armed. So I lost my right of pursuing happiness in crowds to guns.
