CBS Chicago ^ | 8/16/2021 | Jermont Terry

CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Police on Monday night were warning anyone walking downtown or in the South Loop to stay alert after a series of attacks and robberies.

Investigators have linked those attacks and robberies to a group of teens. They have happened to people who have simply been walking down State Street and Michigan Avenue between Balbo Avenue and the Chicago River.

And it does not matter if you are alone or in a group. Police said the youngsters are attacking and stealing from people at all hours.

On State Street near Van Buren Street, a woman waiting for a bus was surrounded by eight to nine teenagers overnight. They pulled out a BB gun and then beat the woman over the head with the pistol, leaving her hurt on the ground.

Over the weekend, a man and woman were ambushed by a group of teens in a robbery. That incident happened around 11:30 p.m. Saturday near State Street and Jackson Boulevard.

Police said a man and a woman were walking when a group of about nine people came up and demanded money. Several suspects then started beating the man and woman.

Another robbery was reported at 5:23 p.m. Sunday in the 100 block of East Balbo Drive off Michigan Avenue in Grant Park.

The assailants are described as being between 14 and 19 years old – both boys and girls. Police did arrest six suspects, but we are told there were up to 10 youngsters involved in the various attacks – and police fear others may try to do the same thing.

Thus, police have advised people to put down their cellphones and be alert and aware of their surroundings.

“Youngsters” reminds me of Ed Sullivan greeting the “youngsters” who had come to see and hear the Beatles.

Oh to relive those innocent days again, with parents freaking out over the threat of “rock n’ roll” music.

I can't believe the terminology used by these dirty rotten SOB's in the leftist media.

What is missing from the description of kids...Future Democrat voters. Descendants of the Great Society pay you to have basturd babies. Basturd is bastard. Eventually, the Dems may bring in Moslems from foreign countries to use American socialist parasite programs to reproduce and contribute to future Dem crime and voting patterns.

“Keep electing democrats. You wanted em...you got em.”

I’m starting to wonder about that. I’m wondering if these schmucks are staying in power via voting fraud.

The populace is apathetic, that helps to do fraud and elect idiots. But I’m no longer sure they are quite as stupid as I’ve been assuming.

Police said the youngsters are attacking and stealing from people at all hours. These youngsters were described as cute toddlers a few years earlier.

Teens. Youngsters. I wonder what kind of youff the cops be talking about here. They weren’t too specific.

Instead of telling the people to stop looking at their cellphones, the politicians should be trying to solve the problem they created.

Just for kicks, do a google images search for
black teens
Notice the detachment from reality the pictures show. The first one is captioned “black teens terrified by minneapolis cops”.

Worked in several ghettos back in the Crips and Bloods gang war days.

The gang bangers terrorize and prey upon the decent people who are trying to make ends meet and better themselves.

The primary mission of ghetto predator is to make sure the decent people are stuck in the ghetto.

Democrats enable and empower the predators and screw the decent people. The drug cartels have hooked up with the gangstas and have alliances with big city pols.

The decent folk pay the price.

You can quote me on that .

Until they start threatening the politicos things will just get worse. Same goes for the Federal Government and all the criminals coming across the Southern Border.
