Nice job Chicago PD! But this just flat out sucks. 7:45pm?! I am so fed up with this city. I used to live a block from there.
ReplyDeleteIt's really sad that decent people can't walk the streets without lowlife welfare recipients preying on us.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's ridiculous? That criminals are so emboldened that they believe they can rob and steal with impunity. Thank God the police and the victim worked together quickly to apprehend these two worthless thugs. That's what we should really be celebrating - the quick response by CPD and the victim.
ReplyDeleteWOW, when I lived in Chicago in the 90s, the Gold Coast and Lakeview were not this bad. All the Blacks stayed in their gross neighborhoods. Back then the cops would pull them over if they were in the wrong neighborhood. What is wrong with cops these days?? They need a stronger presence and let these low life criminals they are watching.
