I was up in Btown last night. It was impossible to NOT notice the thugs who were "just chilln," leaning up against the wall of some buildings, watching and waiting for the next solo easy target drunk to walk by. (Yes, I'm talking to you, planters outside of Little Jim's.)
ReplyDeleteThese days Boystown is such a cesspool, I don't dare patronize the bars in that area anyone. It's a shame. I used to love hanging out on Halsted Street. Now I stay home and knit bulletproof vests for all my friends.
ReplyDelete"White T". Chicago is sooooooo 1991 Detroit. It's really comical at this point. Happy Diversity ya'll!
ReplyDeleteThese thugs will never understand that where ever they go, they ruin the neighborhood because of their lack of humanity and lack of education on how to act in a civilized society. Maybe they really are missing those particular genes. All we have to do is look at some areas on the south and west sides to see how they ruin those neighborhoods. Don't you just love "integration?"
ReplyDeleteare those guys still on the loose, or more with similar hairstyles? these are the 3 that were casing me on the train from Chicago to 35th in the Spring; I moved down the train carriage to the other doors to fake them out, and they snatched the Iphone from the young OBLIVIOUS earphone guy behind me...he chased them up and down at 22nd but nobody gave a shit...one of them looked like the guy who is currently in custody for the murder of the woman who was pushed down the stairs at Belmont...so Im thinking they are doing same clothing, hairstyles...but really, who gives a good description anyhow?? Being an alert citizen doesn't make the cops do ANYTHING...
ReplyDeleteThe cops have their hands filled with these ghetto scum bags. I wish we could sterilize all of them, but instead they will keep reproducing these plights on society. @ Anon #2, good one, I had gay friends who use to live in Boystown in the late 90s not anymore. Boystown has become Ghetto Town.
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous #5: Instead of blaming the cops, how about you blame your lovely mayor who is refusing to hire more police to replace the more than 3000 open spots and the 1000 more spots that will open up by the end of the year. All this bs he is spewing about putting more bodies on the streets is a load of garbage. These bodies are ALREADY on the street. All he is doing is shuffling them around. Complain to your alderman, complain to the mayor but leave the few cops that are left alone.
ReplyDeleteI would've stood upwind from them and "accidentally" let few a few blasts from my pepper spray blow in their direction.
