Lifelong Chicagoan speaks out after teens attack him on CTA train: 'a gauntlet of fists'

CHICAGO - A 63-year-old man was attacked by a group of more than a dozen teenagers on the Orange Line train in downtown Chicago on Monday night, he told FOX 32.

The victim, Michael Manning, a lifelong Chicagoan, said he was keeping to himself after a 12-hour workday and looking forward to getting home when the group targeted him.

"This was surreal. I think I was just so shocked. I think I kind of went numb," Manning said.

He recounted that it was after 11 p.m. when the group boarded the train at the LaSalle/Van Buren stop.

"I knew right away that this was not going to go well, no matter what I said or did," Manning said. "I stood up, and I’m 6’4", and I guess that was not a good move because I immediately got punched in the back of the head, which sent me forward into the group. They were like, ‘Oh, you're trying to start something with us!’ Then it was like I was literally running through a gauntlet of fists."

Old white man on a train at night full of black youth in a city led by a constantly race-baiting, BLM socialist.

I think would be safer for him to be wandering around in Kabul or Jalalabad.

“He recounted that it was after 11 p.m. when the group boarded the train at the LaSalle/Van Buren stop.”

He’s riding the subway after 11 p.m. ...in Chicongo??? Is he stupid or something.

At least he was able to experience pure democracy and find out why our Founding Fathers abhorred it.

Nobody has the guts to say it.
We have a black underclass crime and thug problem in America.
If this doesn’t get fixed, separation is the only way forward.

A lifelong Chicagoan is shocked this happened on the CTA late in the evening? I’d say he’s on a pretty steep learning curve.
