Would Chicago Declare Martial Law? from Video by Joe Gray on Vimeo.
Over the last few nights in Uptown, there has been near riot-like activity occurring on the streets. If this violence continues, will the government declare martial law? Many of the residents seem to begging for something to be done. Could an event like this be used to impose martial law? The above video was recorded by a local resident from his home.
Increased police patrols are promised in the area around Leland and Sheridan in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood after "near riot-like" activity in the streets the past few nights.
Video from the area appears to show about a dozen people running back and forth in the street, breaking bottles and yelling. One NBCChicago.com visitor wrote of "near riot-like gang fighting," and said that shots were fired Thursday night at about 10:30.
On the Web site UptownUpdate.com, commenters express fear and anger over the activity.
