"Stroller Gang"

Channel Two had a report on this.

Someone made an amusing YouTube video with subtitles and catchy music:



But the cBS reporting is especially amusing. A sampling:
  • The owners of a Chicago pizza shop are looking for help after being robbed by a gang of youngsters with a baby stroller. The robbery was all caught on surveillance tape.

    Five young people, one baby in a stroller, and an unusual pizza order at Craft Pizza in the 1200-block of North Damen in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

    [...] "Here's a young mother with her young cousins or friends, or whatever, and they are out stealing and robbing people. At that age, wow, it's unbelievable," said Scott Toth, Craft Pizza owner.
Start them young. Hell, gypsies start even younger - and this guy is shocked, SHOCKED, to find out crime is happening in Chicago.
  • The owners think the call was a distraction, because at the same time, just outside the kitchen window, a young man was scaling the fence and opened the gate. He tried a few times to steal a worker's bag.

    "I'm glad he didn't take my bag, whew, because that's expensive, too," said Johnson.

    "He's not a millionaire. He works for his money," said Toth.

    He leaves the bag, but takes the worker's $700 bike. To top it off, Aaron Johnson has had six bikes stolen since he moved to Chicago five years ago!
Six bikes in five years? Sorry Aaron, you're a moron. How about investing in a decent lock and chain and tell your boss you'd like an indoor bike rack? Unless maybe you work for a moron?
  • In releasing the video, the owners hope the young thieves are caught.

    "Something should be done. You know, they should be lectured and somewhat rehabilitated that this is wrong behavior and this is not the way to start your life," Toth said.
Okay. Obviously, Aaron works for a moron. "...lectured...?" "...somewhat rehabilitated...?" "wrong behavior...?" Ooooooooo yeah. THAT'LL show 'em!!

Earth to Scott - they don't care it's wrong. Lectures don't mean anything. "Rehabilitation" doesn't mean anything. An ass-whipping might, but you don't seem up to it. And we're sure you'd be right at the front of the protests if the cops administered one to any of these poor misguided individuals. Let us know when you're sick of losing tip-jar money and $700 bikes. We'll be over here filling out your report that the insurance company won't pay out on. Crime is Down!

This is a great example of how the liberal mind works. Basically, it doesn't. Hampered by brainwashing and political correctness indoctrination.

By the way. Look up "brainwashing" and see who created it. Communist Chinese during the Korean War. These socialists and communists are truly evil.

I saw this - on Fox I think (hell, they all show the same news).

Wondered why they kept more than $5 in the tip jar... clear it out - throw $5 singles in it to make it look full... glue and screw it to the counter to prevent grabbing the whole thing...

And the bike? Yeah - this guy's picture is in the dictionary next to the word "MORON". Claimed he was spending all kinds of money on trains since his bike got stolen...

Ummm, this is CHIRAQ moron... lock it up... even a school kid knows that...

Wonder if they'll add some welded screen to the top of the iron bars that didn't keep the shithead out...

DemocRATS victimizing other DemocRATS??? In Wicker Park??? I'm shocked! This just proves that those food stamps, link cards, free school lunches, government cell phones, Obama Care, SSI checks for mental issues ("I gets angry so I can'ts work.") are just not enough to support the "poor" in America today.

Good for them! These "Urban Youths" found the courage and resourcefulness to take it upon themselves and right a terrible wrong that has been bestowed upon them since birth. Now, with the appropriate funding and method of transportation that they have worked so hard to secure, they have a chance to go out there and find an honest means of employment.

A chance finally, to go out there and make a difference... be somebody. Maybe become a community organizer. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

I can tell you the rif raff in the video are section 8'ers that live near by, probably CHA's "super voucher" recipients.

Remember those supervouchers ??

CHA is a good place to start looking for these ghetto people. They probably stay with gramma in a nice 3 bedroom rent free in an "opportunity area" as described by CHA.

Yep, we the sucker tax payers are paying for these Michael Brown's to rob and steal from businesses in "opportunity areas".

Liberals wonder why there was a GOP landslide victory recently??

After hearing the clueless softball owner interviewed on ch. 7, I can only shake my head. You're absolutely right about this guy being the first in line for the bus to Ferguson. Remember when Wicker park was full of bohunks and workingmen? This "stroller gang" wouldn't last five minutes. Congress and John's pizza was much better, too.

Good let all the liberals that infest wicker park get a taste of their own medicine. To all the scum bags out there go hit these areas hard. The morons that live in these areas have money and all the latest electronic gadgets. And they are all pussies so they will not put up much of a fight if any at all. They are the one's that empower the scum with their liberal views and attitudes let them feel the wrath of the savage.

Saw this on CBS last night and laughed my ass off. "Five youths." That's a good description for the coppers. Be on the look out for five youths. The guy that got his bike stolen is a classic rube. This whole story is full of morons. As someone said earlier on here I would not doubt they are part of that wonderful super voucher program. Crime is down. It has been declared and so it shall be.

How about I don't watch the video and you TELL me the answer to the

Nice to see your cameras work just like all the pod cameras.
May be good for finding an offender, but preventing crime?

Message to the 14th district and Area North Dicks, Look in the 1200-1400 Block of North Wolcott St. There is a lot of trash in the buildings at Wolcott and Crystal. This is area trash and a little bit of looking around should net the savages.

Took a college class last year to finish degree
Restorative justice.
Let's catch the offenders and sit them down with the victims so they can all discuss their issues. And then forgive the offender then. No one locked up. No one unhappy. Everyone gets to vent their feelings.
I couldn't stand that class but I still got an "A"
What a bunch of crap.

Sounds like CPD needs additional training in the stroller gang. Zero tolerance strategy needs to be initiated against this gang of hardened thieves.

I took a class and the kids are wearing Free Mumia t-shirts, Anarchy t-shirts and t-shirts disparaging of of the beloved Sheriff Joe Arpaio. None of these idiot sons and daughters of Liberalism know the slightest thing about real world crime and none of them was alive when Officer Faulkner was murdered. None of them know that the exalted murderer is AKA Wesley Cook. Cook is 60 now. I hope to outlive him. I clearly remember when Officer Faulkner was killed.

These kids know nothing but what their liberal professors tell them. I regret having to take them. But I got the BA finally.

Hard to find a non-communist school around here.

Probably tires with "Haro Kiti" pattern on the tread, on alloy rims with quick-releases, like we are taking Baby down a winding 25% downgrade in the Pyrenees.

Wonder where they stole that.

Goof stealing a stroller out of an apt. bldg. lobby one time, confronted by my buddy the janitor, starts yelling.

Obviously, a lack of police presence, proving Sir Robert Peel's last rule of police work. You gotta love the typical CPD response when all else fails: blame the victim!

Peelian Principles, lack of Police presence and victim shaming (well deserved actually) aside?

You live in Chicago damnit...
You should EXPECT that a locked gate won't stop Dude from hittin' that lick...

"Locked gates are racist an' shit!"

Oh wait...
Your problem isn't with m/fers who scale fences to get somebody's shit, you got big fuckin' beef (as always) with the Police.

Right?

You're a clueless, soft and weak ass.

Step the fuck up and start fighting these mutts back!

Somebody should've run down the stairs with a stick and beat the mutt within an inch of his oxygen thieving life.

If some of you "citizens" would get mean and start maiming these free swinging assholes you catch on your property...

Don't leave out nice shit that can be walked away...

Don't be lazy... Put a stout chain and padlock on your gates.

...You're welcome.

Boobytrap [IED] a few bikes. Shotgun shell pointing up the seat tube. Drop them off in likely areas. 100 revolutions of the wheel and they go boom. Problem solved. Think of it as a "bait bike".
