A group of thugs robbed a man outside a North Side CTA train station near the Lincoln Park, Lakeview neighborhood border, said police.
The armed robbery occurred around 9:45 p.m. in front of the Diversey Brown and Purple Lines station at 943 West Diversey Parkway, near Diversey and Sheffield.
The thieves were described as four black males in their teens or 20s.
One of the robbers was armed with a knife, said police.
No further details are available.
Thank god we don't allow law abiding to concealed carry. One of those poor kids may have gotten hurt!
ReplyDeleteThank god we don't. Who knows who could have got hurt by a stray bullet at a crowded CTA stop.
ReplyDeleteI guess the only semi-safe thing to do in this city anymore is sit home and drink.
ReplyDeleteI am not a gun owner nor do I want to be, but I want gun owners to have the right to carry a gun for their own protection in this city. Were I a gun owner and either the victim or a witness of attacks like this, I would have no problem at all doing what needs to be done. I doubt I'd lose any sleep over it. As Travis Bickle wisely said "Someday a real rain will come and wash this scum off the streets." I hope that rain is bullets through the foreheads of each and every gangbanging criminal that has or will commit crime against respectable, good members of our city. They are worthless, useless garbage. They are not capable of rehabilitation. They are not capable of being productive members of society. They are not capable of acquiring gainful employment. They are not capable of love. They are only capable of hate and crime. End them.
ReplyDeleteLets ask jesse Jackson what his opinion is when he finishes his dinner at finding tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhen he is at gibsons
DeleteHmmmm I work right by Gibsons. Maybe its time to catch ol' JJ there on film.
ReplyDeleteAnd JJ's dinner is probably comped by Gibson's, too.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable how this shakedown artist is still viewed as a respectable community leader in some quarters.
Jj liked his white wimens back when he was running for prez.
Thinks its probably on the operation push corporate cc because he usually eats with a entourage of 6 or more. On sat he likes to switch it up and go to tavern
ReplyDeleteand people wonder why we don't need Panera Cares in the neighborhood... we're short on police and don't need more vagrants, sorry Ronald Shaich.
ReplyDeleteThe robbery occurred in front of the Diversey el, and yet I imagine none of the CTA personnel or "security" saw anything, nor did the eight million cameras onsite record anything.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what it's gonna take for people to rise up and fight back or start taking their city back. How many innocent people have to be terrorized by these urban terrorist? People out everywhere in this city and NO ONE helps someone being attacked? Stand up and fight back rather then look the other way. If you think this increasing crime is not your problem, you are sadly mistaken and might be next. Wouldn't it be nice IF someone came to your aid??? Bunch of pussy's in this city.
ReplyDelete4 on 1 with a gun. These savages are nothing but cowards! I wish someone would shot one of these animals.
ReplyDeletePaging Bernie Goetz, Bernie Goetz, you are needed on the Brown Line.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I read an article by an urbanologist who predicted what the future of Chicago would be like based on current trends at that time (say 10+ years ago.)
ReplyDeleteHe predicted that most upper middle class people would live along the lakefront and that area would become a feasting place for the lower orders to come and take what they wanted from them.
Why is it ALWAYS black people? Sorry, thats why people hate blacks. I dont hate anyone but I dont want anything to do with a black guys that wears his pants on the ground and walks with a limp. No thanks, your trouble.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the same thoughts as you. We are indeed seeing a rise in crime in nicer Chicago neighborhoods and it is obvious who is to blame. But trust me, the more you focus on this stuff the worse you'll feel. That's all I know.
ReplyDeleteI went over there a few times this week hoping to draw out a few attackers (and destroy them), but I guess I don't look like an easy target.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, their day is coming though, they'll be picking their teeth out of their asshole when I'm done with them
Someone please make sure that when a scumbag gets caught robbing or assaulting and he gets a beatdown, that it is recorded. That would empower more then a few people to help in the future.
ReplyDeleteOne should always think ahead, and carry a wine key to the party when riding the CTA, in the event the host might need assistance...
ReplyDeletePanera Cares really isn't attracting too many blacks, the food isn't greasy enough and they don't have grape soda.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's the same white weirdoes as before.
