A Chicago bus driver landed in the hospital after he was beaten on the streets Saturday night, resulting in a 15-year-old boy being arrested.

The bus driver, 49, was inspecting his bus at about 9 p.m. after he heard a loud sound. He was reportedly pushed and punched by both a male and female, police said. An unidentified 15-year-old boy was charged with a felony count of aggravated battery of a transit employee and disorderly conduct in connection.

Footage allegedly showing the incident has spread on social media. A large group of youths is seen surrounding the bus driver and hitting and kicking him as onlookers cheer and record the incident.

Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot said "swift action" will be taken and that parents need to take responsibility for their kids.

“Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot said “swift action” will be taken and that parents need to take responsibility for their kids.”

*****

She’s worried about that, because she needs the buses to run, but the bus services will collapse in Chicago, it’s just a matter of when. Summer of 2022 wouldn’t surprise me.

If they had 2 parents, there’d likely already be more responsibility

You Dems voted Dem. This is what happens.

Old time “law and order “was declared “racissss.”
AOC and Tlaib called for decarceration* (letting the convicted criminals get out of prison) and no bail for newcomers.

*official definition is either by limiting who is sent to prison in the first place or by creating avenues to release people already in custody. —

The “teens” literally act like actual MONKEYS....chimp squeeling while the prey gets smashed.

Incapable of forming or living in civil society.

I was to travel through Chicago a while back and could not make myself do it after the last time. I ended up detouring so far south of the suburbs that I added more than a little mileage and time to the trip.

Worth it? Absolutely.

Back in the day we had another name for them.

The word “feral” comes to mind. By the way, we never hear the term “juvenile delinquent” anymore. Was that deemed offensive somehow?

I think monkeys are more civilized for the most part.

Hope the bus driver is okay. Hope he moves to a safer place, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, anywhere but a blue state. Bet he won’t be voting for leftist district attorneys.

Lighthead wants to hold parents responsible? My first thought is she saw the parents in the Oxford Michigan case being held responsible...

“ Mayor Lori Lightfoot called on parents to take responsibility following the violent Saturday night”

Education is never contagious among blacks

From the article:

“”These kids have to take responsibility, but I’m going to say the parents have to take responsibility,” she said. “Do you know where your kid is? Are you making sure that you’re talking to your children about how they should act in a large crowd?””

Earlier this year, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski wrote about some other instances of Chicago youth and violent behavioe, saying parents had failed their kids. He was the target of relentless attacks, calling him racist, privileged, out of touch. He apologized and expressed woke platitudes. It wasn’t enough. Mayor Lightfoot herself put out a press release, stating that “victim shaming has no place in this conversation.”

Of course, pointing out that our progressive betters are loud hypocrites is like saying water is wet. I noticed that the race of the youths is never mentioned, so I know it’s not white supremacy roaming the streets. Ugh.
