The mother of a 26-year-old man who threw a Chicago house party in violation of shelter-in-place orders said she was horrified by the video of the gathering. The woman, a first responder, said her son threw the party while she was on a 24-hour shift.
“And after that, some police came to my house and said, 'Were you aware that it was a party at your house?' And I was like, 'No, I wasn't aware.' And then they showed me the video,” she said.
"So if I'm doing social distancing, then I most definitely don't condone this type of behavior,” she said. Wright said he only initially invited about 20 to 30 people to celebrate the lives of friends who died of gun violence, but the party quickly blew up to host almost 200 people. He blamed his ignorance on the severity of the coronavirus pandemic on “being young.”
