Far Southwest Side Chicago neighbors appalled by street takeover
CHICAGO -- Drivers set fire to a street in Beverly as they drifted and did donuts in the street this past weekend.Concerned neighbors said organizers of the street takeover even managed to hold off police for a while.The sounds woke Ken Jones from a sound sleep. A home surveillance camera captured just some of it. 'Squealing tires and roaring engines,' said Jones.People were standing in the middle of a ring of fire as the cars spun around its circumference.
'I was like: 'Oh my gosh, what are they doing? Are they going to burn things down?''The crew managed to keep police from getting to their illegal street tactics. They even forced Chicago Transit Authority buses to park.'You're just literally stuck because there's nowhere for them to go,' the woman said. 'The bus can't go around and go a different route.'Neighbors said the street takeover crew was not even fazed when police arrived.
