Mob attack at Chicago and Wabash Avenues
Two men were attacked at the intersection of Chicago and Wabash Avenues, on Chicago's Near North side, reports ABC 7 news. The gang mob attack may be related to a robbery or attempted robbery at the lakefront, said ABC reporter Leah Hope. Part of the assault occurred near the Potbelly Sandwich Shop at 57 East Chicago Avenue, said an eyewitness.
It's unclear if this incident is related, but a man was robbed at Chicago and Wabash around 8 p.m. Tuesday. Click here for details.

I don't like these incidents being reported as robberies/attempted robberies or even flash mobs, it downplays the seriousness. When a group of 20 people attack someone of another race, while yelling racial insults, it is a hate crime. As much attention as these incidents are receiving, I believe it would be exponentially larger if people knew hate crimes were taking place every few days...
ReplyDeleteThey'll never learn. Until these ghetto thugs learn how to play nice, they won't be welcomed in the playground that is our city.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I don't get why they're not being charged with hate crimes either. Truly this is the definition of hate crime. The sentences would be much stiffer if that was included in the charges.
ReplyDeleteThese are not hate crimes dummies. Check the definition. This city is not only for white people and you better get that through your head. In case you have not noticed, there are many many people who give this city COLOR and LIFE. Put the blame where the blame is due. Sorry for those people who were robbed, everyone needs to be careful and cautious but this is a big playground and people will play, ghetto thugs and all.
ReplyDelete"hate crime noun
ReplyDeleteDefinition of HATE CRIME
: any of various crimes (as assault or defacement of property) when motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation)
Seems to me that racial slurs are being used when these ghetto thugs are attacking whites and asians. That makes it a HATE CRIME.
NO ONE said this city was "not only for white people"...YOU brought that up. We are simply talking about ghetto thugs terrorizing a certain class/culture of people in this city and using racial slurs as they beat the crap out of them and steal their possessions. That sounds like HATE to me.
did YOU hear it?
ReplyDeleteAny crime committed against someone is a hate crime!
