Front Row Seat

So the aldercreature gets a bunch of parents complaining about fights at the local high school. He arrives and is greeted with....guess what?

• More videos are surfacing of fight after fight at Sarah E. Goode STEM Academy on Chicago’s South Side, and in a letter to parents, the school said there were five physical altercations at the school Thursday. They say no one was injured, but now the ward’s alderman is speaking out.
  
  “It was chaos everywhere,” said 18th Ward Ald. Derrick Curtis. Curtis said he saw two girls swinging at each other when he was visiting the school. It was an all-out brawl between students that ended with an appearance by Chicago police.
  
  The ironic part is he was at the school to meet with the principal about the brawls after receiving videos of the fights sent to his office by concerned parents.

Irony is "a state of affairs that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." This was definitely amusing on a certain level, but far from "contrary to what one expects."

• The Chicago Police Department said they’ve been called to the school about 20 times since January for disturbances, reckless conduct and batteries.
  
  Curtis said he knew the problem was bad but not this bad.
  
  “To me, there was no consequences,” he said. “It seemed like the norm.”

There's that thought again - "no consequences" and "seemed like the norm."

Why is that a recurring theme in certain "communities"?

We can't make heads or tails of it.
