Multiple 911 callers reported a fight at the Harrison Red Line station at 608 South State Street in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood.
Apparently, a large group of African-American teenagers were at the center of the mayhem.
Before officers arrived at the scene, Chicago police dispatch received updated information indicating the disruptive hoodlums were armed with chains and mace.
At 7:51 p.m., responding officers were advised to "slowdown" -- enough police officers were already on scene.
So far, there is no indication any arrests have been made.
If and when, I receive more information, this article will be updated accordingly.
"African-American teenagers" are way out of control across this city and the country. How much longer do the innocent have to endure this violence? Are ANY of the "powers" that be, listening? Do stores, restaurants, all retail and business have to close down early because NO ONE will want to go out, BEFORE they start doing something about this. I'm sorry, but I think it's time for the National Guard to help us out here. The CPD, besides being under staffed are out maned with all these Ghetto thugs! What, do we ALL have to start protesting like they're doing in Cairo to get change? How many more people need to die, get robbed, mugged, shot or beat?

ReplyDeleteBOB, you sure are right on that one.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time Jesse Jackson spoke out against the crime in Chicago. I wonder what's holding him back. :-)
ReplyDeleteJackson spoke out against Burge. :)
ReplyDeleteCome on people!! Why can't these savages just BEHAVE!! Enough already. Let the roles be reversed and oh my god a hate crime to end all including Rev. Al and Jesse. Are these your social reparations?? Just behave already.
ReplyDeleteI don't think referring to these young African American people as savages is going to solve the problem. You should be concerned with the cycle of poverty and violence these young people are stuck in, rather than name calling and complaining. When you know better you do better and in Chicago much of the black population are caught in a cycle they don't know how to break. I'm not making excuses, because I'm fully aware that these people know right from wrong but I just don't like the way society views this type of situation.
