Remember, Don't Demonize

But think about carrying something in the event you have to defend yourself:

• A mob of as many as 16 teenagers and young men attacked and robbed a man near the Roosevelt CTA station Thursday night, prompting Chicago police to renew a warning about a string of similar attacks in the Loop.

  The latest victim was attacked around 11:45 p.m. Thursday near the train station and robbed of his white gold chain and wallet, according to a CPD community alert and preliminary police report.

  It was the fourth reported mob attack and robbery in the area since July 24, when a woman was assaulted just around the corner from the Roosevelt station.

  The department issued its first community alert late last month after groups attacked two women in the same area within days. Two more attacks have been reported since then, according to a new bulletin released Saturday.

You'll never guess who the criminals are....unless you read unbiased sites like CWB.
