And yesterday, a person was robbed and beaten on the #12. Now they need to add more security to the CTA since Michigan Ave. is covered.
ReplyDeleteAuthorities say a group of men beat and robbed a UIC student of his iPod Sunday just after midnight on the number 12 bus at 1300 West Roosevelt Road.
I have read a few posts here about Asians being targeted. I have a friend that is Korean and he has complained to me about the racism he receives from the black sommunity.
ReplyDeleteAgain today it seems, flip through the pics of the victims:

social cancer....it's been pacified all along. Now the savages are showing their true color.
ReplyDeleteSeem like guerilla warfare is being conducted against the non-black population with all these hit-and-run tactics. The wilders and robbers seem to be crazed by hate and a desire to destroy everything in sight. The mayor seems incapable of making any strong declaration on this but instead prefers being wishy-washy and evasive.
ReplyDeleteThey don't get it. If there is another "white flight" in this city..well there goes the handouts, not to mention the neighborhood. The educated blacks will leave as well so that would leave just the ghetto thugs to kill, rob and beat each other. Brilliant strategy...NOT!
ReplyDeletePlus, they just scatter to an area that isn't blanketed with CP. Their strategy is to run the CP ragged all over the place so RAHM better come up with far more additional police than he intended OR he could call in the National Guard for awhile, they're paid by the military defense budget so it wouldn't cost the city a dime to get these ghetto thugs under control and the guns off the streets.
towanda, when white flight takes place, will u be the first b.... on the bus?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous@2:43,
ReplyDeleteI've lived in this city longer than you have been alive and IF you think you & the rest of these ghetto thugs are scaring me or getting me to leave, YOU are a bigger fool that your comments indicate. What are YOU smoking? One minute you're against the blacks, the next you are a ghetto thug. One minute you're making a comment to the mob kids to knock it off, the next you're threatening EVERYONE. Make up your mind. At least I know where my allegiance lies and tell it like it is.
What's that line from "A Few Good Men".....
"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"
Don't you have someplace else to terrorize??? Go cyber stalk on another site. You don't have the knowledge necessary to have an intelligent conversation with me.
don't smoke or drink. see how f..... up you are t-dog. do you know how old i am? then again, you may be older than the city right.you are getting mixed up. i am never against blacks but i can get on any level i want to, i' flexible like that. but you on the hand.....Sheesh (LOL)
ReplyDeletetowanda - I think there are a number of different people posting as "anonymous" (for the usual reasons).
ReplyDeleteThat's why there are such contrasting responses.
