Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is asking residents to anonymously report tips about house parties after a Saturday night bash in Chicago drew international disdain, and she hinted that party organizers and attendees could face repercussions.
Social distancing guidelines in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus call for people to keep 6 feet apart, at minimum.
Dozens of young adults flouted those rules Saturday night, as they were packed shoulder-to-shoulder at a house party that appears to have been held in Chicago.
Some wore Chicago sports gear – a Bulls jersey, a Bears hat.
A handful wore face masks.
“You can’t even move in this b***h,” someone says in the more than 23-minute video posted on Facebook by user Tink Purcell.
Lightfoot tweeted on Sunday evening that the party was “reckless and utterly unacceptable.”
