For those that intend on inciting or inflicting violence in Cicero:

We will not tolerate it.
We will not show leniency.
We will not look the other way.
You WILL be arrested.

This is our community, and we will protect it at any cost.

There were also two people killed. While Cicero isn't immune to violence what happened there yesterday was not the norm and wasn't at all peaceful protest.

I lived in Cicero until after I started kindergarten. My Bohemian grandparents lived there until they died in the '60s.
