Burglars Torture Victims
- A 70-year-old man says burglars tortured him with a red-hot spoon in his apartment in the old Cabrini-Green neighborhood, and stole the van he uses for his disabled son.
B.T. Gregory told police two men with guns barged into his apartment in the 1300 block of North Cleveland Avenue, near the intersection with Clybourn Avenue and Goethe Street. At the time, Gregory said he had popped out to get his 17-year-old son a snack from a nearby hot dog stand.
The burglars, who were rifling through his possessions when he came home, duct-taped him to a chair at gunpoint and threatened to kill him, he said.
These criminals are borrowing more and more cartel tricks to achieve their ends and it's becoming a bit more common place - or maybe the media is just covering it a bit more? It certainly seems that the vaunted "super predators" so long predicted during the 1990's are finally arriving, albeit 20 years later.

Old Retired Guy Here;
These terrible crimes,were all to common in the Green. That was back in the 70's and 80's. I thought those day's were gone. I guess the old man is wrong again.
PS: Be Safe Out There.
get your FOID card, register your firearm , and shoot these bastards. good citizens can't wait for the police, when seconds count we will be there in a few minutes, fuck the Govenor or Mayor they got armed security 24/7.
But, crime is down
Not for certain, but what do you think old B.T. Gregories criminal background looks like? Karma is a mother!
Ok with all the media coverage on this some one out there tell us what was this crime classified as?

You sir are a Stroke.
NO one at any age deserves to be Tortured with a burning Implement of Cutlery while Duck Taped to a damn chair, probably while his Terrified disabled 17 yo kid hid in the residence.
Plus the punks stole the Disabled equipped van?
I don't give a hot shit what the 'alleged' criminal record of the 70 year old is.
I wouldn't wish this on the Jfled's Family.
The national average response time to a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
Carrying a gun won't save the planet or even Chicago. It may very damn well save your life though if you live in the city.
You've got 2 choices. Break the law and maybe stay alive or become another statistic for the gun grabbers.
It's a sorry state of affairs in Illinois/Chicago but people need to wake up and realize that elections have consequences.
