==== Brawl at Daley home in Michigan ====
On the weekend of March 1–2, 1992, Daley and his wife arranged for 16-year-old son [[Patrick R. Daley|Patrick]] to stay with relatives while they attended a family event in New York. Patrick told the relatives he was staying with friends, drove his father's new [[sports utility vehicle]] to the Daley second home in [[Grand Beach, Michigan]] and threw a party Saturday night without parental consent or adult supervision. Someone asked two Filipino and two white youths to leave, racial epithets were exchanged, and a fistfight broke out. Patrick retrieved Richard J. Daley's shotgun from the house and gave it to his cousin, who was aged 17. A youth was seriously injured when a juvenile struck him in the head with a baseball bat.<ref>{{cite news |title=Brawl At Daley's Estate; Racial Flap At Son's Mich.
