What we know and don’t know about video of downtown beating (MSM in overdrive to cover up beating)
WGN ^ | 4/28/23 | Ben Bradley

Posted on 04/18/2023 11:22:38 AM PDT by lado

A video circulating online that appears to show a large group of young people grabbing, punching and attacking a woman in downtown Chicago has been seen more than 14 million times since it was posted by a local crime blog CWB.

The images are horrifying. A woman screams as the group corners her against a distinctive set of doors, reportedly at 129 N. Wabash in Chicago’s Loop. In a split second, a large group of young people begin punching and kicking the woman as she appears to fall to the ground and isn’t seen again. The clip is just 20 seconds long and was captioned with the words “Yay we get active.”

An initial report to police reported an attack one block away, in the 100 Block of N. Michigan Avenue leading to some confusion. After all, there were multiple altercations that evening. On Tuesday, investigators re-classified the location of the attack as indeed being in the 100 Block of N. Wabash. The narrative police shared with the media isn’t very revealing:

100 block of N. Wabash on April 15, 2023, between 8 p.m. – 8:40 p.m. (1st District)

The victims, a 22-year-old male and a 20-year-old female, related they were at the above location when a group of unknown offenders approached. The offenders struck the victims several times before taking their personal property and fleeing in an unknown direction. The victims were transported to the University of Illinois Hospital with minor injuries. No one is in custody at this time. Area Three detectives are investigating.

The attack occurred on the evening of Saturday, April 15 when hundreds of teenagers and young adults took over the streets and stomped on cars, broke windows, beat-up a CTA bus driver and two people suffered gunshot wounds.

Traditional news organizations, including WGN, have not shared the video and many have demanded to know “why not?”

WGN has been unable to contact the person who posted the video to confirm basic details let alone receive permission to use it on our platforms (a necessary step under our standards). Reporters have scoured the location looking for other surveillance cameras that may have captured the attack or people who witnessed it. So far, no luck.

WGN, and no doubt other news organizations, have filed Freedom of Information Act requests with police, fire and the Office of Emergency Management and Communication for reports that may shed more light on what occurred.

Looking at the data for 2019: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls (the most recent year we have the data on)

White-on-black murders: 246
Black-on-white murders: 566
Black-on-black murders: 2,574
White-on-white murders: 2,594

So not only is black-on-white murders happening twice as often as white-on-black (but committed by 1/5th the population size as whites, which makes the racial murder rate of black-on-white 10 times worse than white-on-black IMHO). Even with that, with both races, the main problem with murder is our own race.

The Dims tell the blacks that whites are a boogey man hiding under the bed trying to get them. And they say it loud enough hoping us whites hear it and think the blacks are coming to get us to satisfy their Dim masters. But the numbers show that racial murders are uncommon anyway in either direction.

I don’t even have to ask. I absolutely will bet my best prayer rug that the networks didn’t show this to the viewers. It shows clearly that a band of savages was attacking a White woman.

To make matters worse, the savage crowd blames Whiteys for their troubles, and has nothing but hate for them. And, predictable as the sun rising, dems will reward the savages for their actions and punish innocent people.

Imagine this type of coverage of a lynching in the 1920s.

“Alleged victim was attacked by a group of young to middle aged men,although women were seen by one witness who declined to be named. Alleged attack was in the vicinity of a large tree although this to cannot be independently verified as well as the prospect of a long heavy rope.
The victim was not available for interview at press time.”

One has to have an agenda to be this obtuse.

Yes, for the most part (there are a tiny portion of Hispanics who call themselves "black Hispanics"). If you're interested there are numbers on the link based on ethnicity. But not ethnicity and race combinations.

It's much, much worse than that.

If you look at the fine print in the upper left, it says "single victim, single perp".

As anyone that has had dealings with this demographic, one on one is not their preferred method.

Only as perps, not as victims.

Gotta skew the data, to make Whitey look as bad as possible.

Huh?
Did her attackers know who she voted for before they attacked her?
Your comment is idiotic.

Either she voted, for it,
Or the Chicago Democrat ballot harvesting, internet connected, cheating machine voted for it.

Those are two different questions
