And equally as routine as the weekend violence are the Monday press conferences at which Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson put on their angry (or sad) faces and denounce the perpetrators and talk about how the mayhem is ‘unacceptable.’ ‘What happened this weekend did not happen in every neighborhood in Chicago,’ said Emanuel, ‘but it is unacceptable [that] it happened in any neighborhood in Chicago.’
