Two men were beaten and robbed in Chicago’s River North neighborhood early Saturday.
The victims were attacked on State Street near Kinzie at about 1:30 a.m.
Video shared on social media shows the men knocked to the ground on State Street. They are robbed as they lay on the ground.
Chicago police said that the 40-year-old victim was taken to Northwestern Hospital. The other victim refused medical attention.
Video from the incident below:
The incident has sparked new controversy, as video obtained from the scene by CWB Chicago does not show any police responding to the scene. Supt. David Brown later defended the department’s response time to the busy intersection.
“Let me address one of the aspects of the incident, (which was) how long it took to get there. There were officers on walking beats that were nearby. From our preliminary review, it took about six minutes to get there,” he said. “Not everybody was cooperative, but you can see it was a very chaotic scene.”
No arrests have been made in the case, and Area Three detectives are investigating.
Another hate crime that was ignored by the media as America’s once beautiful cities are turning into a third world s**t holes!

Stay out of fights, yes. But when these situations find you and you are outnumbered by people who are absolutely more ruthless than yourself, a gun will neutralize that quick.
Also, what with our country since when hate crime doesn't seem to mind if the victims are not black, when White people are attacked not one media talk about it. Where is the police?
“Not everybody was cooperative”
Duh!
Put a fence around the city and make it a prison.
Sad that the article doesn’t mention it as a black on white attack.
These poor violent yutes have just been victimized their whole lives...so beating up and robbing whitey is just reparations. Nothing to see here....
River North used to be a “nice” area. The Merchandise Mart is there as are several very high end restaurants.
Glad I don’t work there anymore.

white people should know better than to venture into the jungle at any time day or night. From the looks of it, they were outnumbered 100 to 1. The schools, churches, and media have all told them that blacks are just like everyone else and that avoiding them is “racist”, they fell for the lies. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes and pass that knowledge onto others who have fallen for the lies.
I feel bad for Chicago. Sounds like a rough town. I really figured when obama was in office he would have made it a priority to clean it up. Wasn’t he from there.
That area has always historically been white and affluent.
The scum from the south side have been taking the Red Line up there and causing trouble for years (even as far back as the 2000s there were reports of roving groups and other street crime on Michigan Avenue), and now that we have incompetent ideologues in the mayor’s office and Cook County state’s attorney’s office, they know they essentially have carte blanche to cause trouble. The Loop and River North/Mag Mile have completely gone to hell since the Floyd riots began last year.
Hey, just two racist crackers getting a dose of social justice.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Happily, the victims survived their learning experience. Whether they learned anything will take time. Hopefully they will not move to the suburbs and bring any liberal baggage with them.
River North *is* a historically white and affluent neighborhood...it includes Michigan Avenue and Streeterville. It’s turning into a no-go zone, thanks to incompetent ideologues in city and county office. The troublemakers don’t live there, they come up from the south side via the Red Line, and have turned the Mag Mile into “Muggers’ Mile”.
The stories coming out of River North and the Loop are reminiscent of the slow collapse of the city’s west side in the 1960s.
Illinois, including Chicago, has had “shall issue” CCW since 2013

But it’s illegal to carry in bars, so muggers can look for people exiting bars as presumably easy victims.
Well, without the Loop, River North and Streeterville, there ain’t much left in Chicago. Glad I never bought a condo when I lived there.
There is nothing in Chicongo you need from savages. This applies to every city in America that blacks have unilaterally ruined. Name a good black neighborhood...anywhere.
See Europe, see Africa. QED
After watching the video, the white guy was in a no-win situation. He was well outnumbered, but if he shot his opponent he would have to prove that he was under deadly threat from a mob, not just the presumably unarmed guy he shot.
And prove it to a hostile, mostly black, Chicago jury.
Iss reparamashuns, homes.

Starting today, Texas now has Constitutional carry.
Couldn’t come at a better time.
Years ago, I walked that area without fear.
It sounds very different, now.
