Look, here's the bottom line: In ANY other city, in ANY other state, a
guy
who sent bulldozers to rip up public property -- in the MIDDLE OF THE
NIGHT -- would have been arrested.

If that were true, then most public renovation projects would result in the
arrest of the presiding public officials (and of the bulldozer operators
themselves--if they were not acting on someone's lawful authority, then they
too were committing a crime). You usually have to bulldoze what's there in
order to build something else. Often there are people who preferred to keep
what was already there.

Daley decided to renovate a piece of public land whose usage was under his
administrative authority as an elected public official. There are sound
objections to the decision and to his implementation, but the idea that he
committed a crime (such as vandalism) is sheer fantasy.

He would then have been put under medical observation, to ascertain his
sanity.

Why is it just "business as usual" in Chicago?
