Emanuel: Heat-Related Illness Forced North Avenue Beach Shutdown

Emanuel: Heat-Related Illness Forced North Avenue Beach Shutdown « CBS Chicago
"There had been some speculation about what really happened.
Police sources have a different explanation.
They said Tuesday that the beach was shut down in response to the large crowds of people showing up all at once, and police not having enough manpower to control the chaos.
Beachgoers at North Avenue have also faced the threat of violence from flash mobs and wilding on busy days in recent months.
Last month at North Avenue Beach, sources say a group of about 100 teens surrounded two people on bikes.
Both were knocked off their bikes and thrown into Lake Michigan.
Mayor Emanuel said he did not know anything about the reported crowd control problem."

He's not even as good a liar as the old Soviets!
Or colonel Klink!
