BREAKING: Another Mob Attack

All over WGN 9 O'Clock News tonight. The anchors are describing fifteen to twenty black offenders jumping two white victims, beating and robbing them at Wabash and Chicago.

Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey is already tweeting about it.

Someone want to call Rahm before we shut down the entire downtown area?

UPDATE: CBS 2 and NBC 5 lead with the latest three attacks. ABC 7 has to be biting nails since they can't break away from the NBA Finals.

Mob Attack Reported Downtown

A mob of about 15 to 20 youths reportedly beat and robbed two people downtown, a witness told NBC Chicago.

The attack happened near the intersection of West Chicago Avenue and North Wabash Avenue at about 8 p.m. The young people stole one of the victim's wallets, which reportedly had about $300 in it.

The thieves then ran to the nearby Chicago Red Line stop, at Chicago and State, the witness said.

When contacted by NBC Chicago, police said they were investigating a "battery in progress" in the area.

The reported incident comes within hours of police issuing a community alert in connection with a pair of mob attacks on Chicago Transit Authority buses and weekend attacks in Streeterville and the lakefront.

This seems to be an organized group of young Blacks terrorizing the Near North side. Seems that if we can nail a few of them our detectives will be able to find out who the rest are. What makes these punks think they can rob and beat people at will? Better get this straightend out real soon or the summer will be a disaster for our city. Put these little bastards in prison and make an example out of them.

Mobs Attack on City Buses: Police
Gang of teens storm bus, attack victims and run off with their belongings, police say

In two separate incidents, as many as 15 teens have stormed Chicago Transit Authority buses, attacked their victims and darted off with cell phones and other electronic devices, authorities said Tuesday.

Both incidents were near the University of Illinois at Chicago campus, prompting city and campus authorities to issue community alerts.

In the first attack, near West Roosevelt Road and South Loomis Street at about 11:40 p.m. Saturday, a victim was struck multiple times before the thieves ran off with his cell phone.

About 25 minutes later, near South Racine Avenue and West 13th Street, a student said he was sitting on a No. 12 bus when as many as 15 black boys and young men boarded the bus without paying. The student was hit in the back of his head with a glass bottle and was robbed of his iPod, said UIC police.

An ambulance took the student to University of Illinois Medical Center for treatment, the alert said. Surveillance video from the bus may be available for review, it said.

The young thieves were described as being between 14 and 20 years old, standing between 5 feet, 5 inches and 6 feet, 1 inches tall, and weighing between 140 and 180 pounds. They were last seen wearing baseball caps, shorts and T-shirts. Some of them had braided hair and others had short hair, the alert said.

The community alerts come as other mob attacks in Streeterville and along the lakefront are making headlines. Five teens have been arrested in connection with the Streeterville attack, but police Supt. Garry McCarthy vowed to find more of them.

Anyone with information about the bus attacks should call Area 4 detectives at 312-746-8253.

As police investigate, witnesses say the incident may have started as a robbery at the lakefront. The robbery victims then chased the suspects but were over powered when they caught up with a couple of the suspects.

ABC7 talked with one man who says he saw the scene unfold near Michigan Avenue as he left work.

"That's when we dropped our uniforms and I dropped my book bag and tried to help. The kid gets back up. And they chase the guy in front of Potbelly's and that's where it ended. They beat him pretty bad but he got up all right. He was really traumatized. It was his first time getting jumped on. So it's really pathetic that 15 have to jump two," said Cory Bynum, witness.

There are reports that as many as five young men were arrested.

A man was attacked in a mob attack Saturday night. Seven were arrested after that attack.

Residents are advised to be careful of their surroundings and take care when they take out their wallet.

1:30 p.m. CDT, June 7, 2011

"Mayor Rahm Emanuel today didn't offer much on the weekend mob beatings and robberies along the lakefront, saying Acting Police Supt. Garry McCarthy has addressed the issue.

"The mayor, who was in Washington over the weekend with his family, said he spoke to McCarthy over the weekend and again this morning about the attacks.

"The new police superintendent already addressed this question and spoke to it..."

I was right. Tourists. The Emanuels don't even like it here, and don't want to live here.

Hey, fucking idiot. One actually does have a right to privacy at work, and so does the public you encounter. 100's of beat coppers, tac teams, IAD radios, W/C office conversations are being recorded without the mic being keyed? Off Topic fool. I can't wait to never see this being displayed in a court room. Just to let you know coppers go to court with radios which if they can hear us, is a violation of the court for coppers with them on during days. Again you rumor idiot.

Remember ten or more years ago when there were all those summer details and the new recruits were sent to the museum campus detail, Wacker Drive detail, loop traffic detail, or the lakefront bike detail?? They were sent there after their cycles to finish up their probation. You couldn't kick a can without hitting a P.O. in the foot. But then that was after the city/country got all of the grant money from Clinton to hire more police. There was a hiring surge from about the mid to late 90's to the early 2000's. But then the money dried up and the city slowed to less than a snails pace in hiring. Downtown WAS the safest place to be, but little Dickey said, "Why do we need all of these police here? Nothing ever happens." And there it is. Shitheads would come downtown then and anywhere they looked there would be a copper somewhere doing something (even if he/she was just standing) and think twice about doing something stupid. Yes there were incidents, but there were police close by to handle it. Now what do we have downtown? Museum campus-TMA's, Loop traffic-TMA's, Summer mobile-gone, Lakefront bike detail-thinned out if not gone. I know we don't have the manpower to staff all of those details anymore but FOR CHRIST SAKE!!! Some kind of detail needs to brought back and placed down there. Open a 90 day detail bid and see what happens. Maybe some of the burnt out district guys can get a summer downtown. They could take care of the problem early on and then cruze through the rest of the detail. But special units and details are incomprehesible to our new Supe. "Not something I'm used to" he says. Well get a clue and get used to it!!! The east coast is different from the midwest is different from the south is different form the southwest is different from the west coast!!!! As stated here many times before, quit trying to reinvent the wheel. What worked in the past here will work today IF bosses back up the officers. We know how to do the job but we also know how to survive. Sorry for the rant. Stay safe officers.

Talking to these animal's, yes I said it animals does not work, you lock up a 17year old, he is now a juvy again, so call Momma and watch him walk out the back door of the station only to go find his friends and do it again, our courts suck everything is unfounded and SOL'ed, start holding these animals accountable and allow the Police to be the Police, you tied our hands, you told us we are too mean and not good for the public eye, well, this is what you get, an ass beaten on the bus or while walking along the mag mile, better to have your ass beaten by a pack of animal's and given a report, HA HA then a crew of Officers being the Police and putting these animal's back into there place. It's a bad situation but it is what you wanted citizens don't support The Chicago Police Department and enjoy the new boss blaming the victim, what a joke.

Our Department is week and the thugs know it. We have no leadership, Terry thank you for standing in for a few weeks, it was great to feel pride again in being the Police and doing my job. However, we now have some guy who we still have not seen or heard from that claims to be the Superintendent and a mayor who thinks brain power can defeat these thugs. WRONG, sorry Rahm try again. It's too bad that we keep getting that leftovers from the East Coast to run, (or ruin), our city. Excuse me but we do have schools, universities and running water here in Chicago, we are not a 3rd world city, yet you would think we are why do we have to import people from the east coast does our awesome mayor think no one in Chicago is capable of doing the job, or does our awesome mayor know that he pissed everyone off here so he better find friends else where...

Hey "Rahmbo." You're a tough guy, right? You still want to take my pension away from me? Do you still think the COPS are the ones who are out of control in this city?

Why don't we have a beer summit at the FOP hall and talk about this "teachable moment" and what can be done about a pack of animals running wild through the city preying on our citizens and tourists?

Perhaps the entitled ones who have been given free housing, education, WIC, LINK and preferential hiring can be further paid off to leave the citizens be. It'll be like paying tribute to pirates from Tripoli.

You can have your outsider hatchet man have another meeting with gang leaders and tell them to knock it off or else. If that doesn't work, just lie and blame the heat again.

Don't forget to keep voting down concealed carry for citizens to defend themselves. We wouldn't want the gangs to feel threatened while they are beating and robbing people.

How can this be? I thought Rahm and GMac said everything is fine and nobody needs to be overly concerned? In fact GMac says it's not necessary to send any additional manpower to these areas. Everything is just hunky dory the way it is.
If the department can't get or won't use adequate resources to affect this problem maybe we could use the National Guard. Or at the very least the Guardian Angels.
This is gonna have far reaching economic and other affects on this city.

I think the "mob" makeup should encompass the racial makeup of the city! Blacks shouldn't be the only ones allowed is the "mob". Young whites,Hispanics and Asians need a voice. By not allowing these minorities into the "mob", opportunities are being taken from the excluded groups! By law the racial makeup of the "mob" should breakdown as such.....50% black, 30% white, 15% Hispanic and 5% Asian. That would be a true and fair Chicago flash mob.

I do not stop African-American men for no reason. That is profiling and I could be sued. I will arrest if probable cause exists and signed complaints can be obtained and verified witness and victims are present and have sworn under oath about the identity of the offenders.

It is too late to now want the police of 1980. That police department does not exist any more.

Show me in General order my indemnification and have a supervisor standing by and order me to do what is legal and correct in this "war" on groups of roving youths.

Just because the Tribune is calling for the police to "declare war" on these mobs is not an effective defense to a civil rights violation lawsuit in federal court.

I want, in writing, my protections and duties. Then I will act. Not before.

Until then, let it go up.

I actually enjoyed the fact that while at the white house, Rahm enjoyed daily viewings and reviews of the drone attacks on insurgents. Now he can watch the security footage of a plethora of security cameras, of citizens and guests getting shelled downtown. So we have a Chode for a commander, and a douche for a mayor. Good thing we got all the Mcpier and parking meters sorted, so that people can continue to enjoy coming downtown, and fully getting worked over, by the city as a whole. This is absolutely ridiculous, and the media clampdown is even more of a shame...........See you soon Daley.

Apparently OEMC and law engorcement agencies visiting OEMC have the ability to listen in on conversations, wether you're keying your mic or not. I addition, I heard in this rumor that those listening can do so for as long as 90 minutes at a time. Remember you have no right to privacy while at work. Again, be aware that someone may be listening even when you are not keying up. Stay safe.

Don O'Neil is by far the worst thing to happen to the Chicago Police Department. His "look how much I saved you" way of doing business has cost the City. I never thought I would say this but: a civilian couldn't have done a worse job.

He has no more idea of this police Department and the way it is run than the man on the moon. His decisions have hurt the Department. He doesn't learn from his mistakes. He doesn't accept ideas from more experienced people in the field.

Don wants the approval of the powers that be in hopes of some future reward. That is his goal and he will hurt the Department in his quest. It's all about Don.

I wish the mainstreamers would just tell the truth about what is going on. how can you solve a problem without first being able to identify it for what it is?"

Ultimately, setting aside the cowardice of the thugs that are committing these brazen crimes and the politicians that enable them, the real problem in all of these incidents happening in high traffic areas is that we law abiding citizens aren't often using OUR strength in numbers. In most situations, we outnumber the animals.

Concealed carry or no, able bodied men acting together can subdue, or at least scare off, a bunch of undisciplined, chickenshit thugs. Even those who might feel they don't have the physical strength to lend their fists can start their cell phones recording, then upload it to YouTube under an easy to search title and tags while also forwarding their content to the police. Community cohesion needs to be the order of the day. The bangers stick together, why don't the rest of us?

So don't stay at home this summer. Don't let the scum win. All the great things about Chicago were made for us, not them. Invite some friends, gang up, and go enjoy the city together! If you see something, do, or at least say something.

I continue to be haunted by the case involving the woman, Sally Katona-King, killed after being knocked down the stairs at the Fullerton el a few months back. In the midst of rush hour at one of the most congested transit stations in the city, some piece of filth was able to steal a phone, kill a woman, and exit the station without being stopped by anyone.

It's beyond pathetic that people give thanks that someone else is being victimized and go about their business. Police do what they can given the shackles they are working with, but the rest of us need to reinforce one another too.

I suggest when these shitbirds get arrested that an "I" bond be out of the question even for the pimpiest of charges. Locked up a bucket boy about a week ago and suggested there be no bond for him but ultimately he left hours later. There has to be zero tolerance for all crimes having to do with quality of life issues. When they are enforced no "I" bond issued. These P'OS don't care about getting locked up because they know they'll get out soon or be released to they playanutie. Send them to court in the morning. It'll put a little salt in their game. Meanwhile northside cops should brush up on the the obscure charges relevant to districts like 001,019, 018, & 023. There's a bunch of charges out there you can use without putting yourself in the trickbag. Write great paper and be safe.
