Saturday night during a teen takeover near 87th and Ashland, Loomis, and Laflin, a Chicago livestreamer watched what he described as a police "supervised" teen takeover in real time and issued a warning to parents:
"Don’t be on the news crying, 'He was a good kid. She was a good kid.' Come get him right now. You got a chance."
Around 10:57 p.m. on June 6, 2026, dozens of youths clustered at bus stops and spilled into the parking lot near 8724 S. Laflin St., twerking on cars, climbing on vehicles, and ignoring repeated police orders to disperse.
Despite the size of the crowd and the obvious potential for escalation, no city violence interrupters or crime prevention outreach teams were visible on scene.
Instead, the only real attempt at de-escalation came from Citizen app user "patergumblle085," who kept his camera on the teens and his voice trained on the adults:
"Y’all gonna be on the news, crying, talking about something happened to him...
Your kids still safe...
Ain’t no shots ring off yet.
Your kids still alive right now. Got a chance.
You watching this live, come get your baby, come get y’all kids, man."
Citizen app user "patergumblle085" repeatedly pleaded with parents to come get their kids before something violent happened. He stressed that police presence alone was not enough, that the teens did not fear officers, and that the real intervention had to come from families.
He also warned about teens dressed in all black with coats and bags going to the trunk of a car, suggesting the potential for weapons or escalation.
The underlying message was simple: the calm before the storm. The only real window to prevent tragedy was for parents to physically retrieve their children.
"Y’all gonna be on the news, crying, talking about something happened to him.
Call him right now. Ain’t nothing happened right now.
Your kids still safe. You call them right now and get them home safely before something happen.
Ain’t nothing happened yet. Get them home safely...
Ain’t no shots ring off yet. Your kids still alive right now. Got a chance. You watching this live, come get your baby, come get y’all kids, man.
These you... Ain’t nobody out here grown, man. These is little babies. Come get y’all babies.
They just babies. I know they’re babies. Nobody over there grown. They all over there acting like they live, though.
Nobody grown. Come get y’all babies.
The police trying to get them to go home. They’re not going home.
Calm before the storm, man. Come get your kids. Storm coming.
They peaceful right now.
Police kind of got it under control, but they need to go out here.
It’s always fools coming and mess it up.
Then I keep seeing these three boys walking with all black on and coats on and shit. Telling y’all, come get y’all kids... All it takes is somebody ride past... somebody coming in here with a car. Go get y’all kids.
What the fuck y’all going in the trunk for and grabbing shit, bro? Hold on, y’all got in the bag, grabbing book bags out the back. See, come get y’all kids, man.
I guess... police might as well chill, have a supervised teen takeover in the parking lot for about 30 more minutes. I don’t know. Come get your kids... Police seem to got it under control, though, for right now.
This little crowd right here still together, but they kind of dispersed it now...
Go on, go home, get home safely...
I’m gone, man. Y’all kids get home, man.
Everybody in Chicago, y’all be safe, man.
