Yes, they are indoctrinated youths loyal to the Book of Levi.

U of Chicago had our own large police force to protect the students, but it was still wild and wooly back in the 60’s. The gangs of roaming, violent kids attacked our students playing football on the Midway. Car theft gangs were composed of kids from 12 up who had to use blocks attached to the pedals so they could reach them.

I can remember being followed by a very kind policeman when walking home on campus. Very embarrassing. Another time I was telling a friend why I felt we were safe walking alongside the Midway when someone walked up from behind and explained they worked at the university hospital and why we SHOULDN’T feel safe.

At least in those days,when gangs of kids yelled at you, they were polite enough to yell, “Hey, lady!”

In those days, downtown was still safe and elegant. Grant Park was a glory of fountain and flowering bushes and people feeding pigeons. The museums were world famous and people wandered everywhere downtown in safety. Mayor Daly might have been an autocratic Democrat, but people really believed he’d fight for the people. While skimming taxes off the top to keep him and his in office, of course.

I wonder what the other characteristic is that these ‘teens’ share, other than age?

I worked on Jackson and roamed all those streets at lunch time for 17 years. Never saw or had a problem. But that was back when America was still America.

"CHICAGO ... a woman waiting for a bus was surrounded by eight to nine teenagers ... They pulled out a BB gun and then beat the woman over the head with the pistol ... a man and woman were ambushed by a group of teens in a robbery ... Police said a man and a woman were walking when a group of about nine people came up and demanded money ... then started beating the man and woman ... The assailants are described as being between 14 and 19 years old – both boys and girls ... police fear others may try to do the same thing ... police have advised people ... to be alert and aware of their surroundings."

Welcome to Lightfoot & Sleepy Joe's Amerika.

All major urban centers throughout the U.S. are zoos, as you all know. Wild gangs of black "teenagers" ("both boys and girls") act like wild packs of hyenas in the jungle, violently ambushing and attacking innocent passersby. That's part of the urban "culture" that has existed in major U.S. cities for the past half-century. But you're banned from saying the truth about it because that supposedly would be "racist." The not-so-secret code there: Always sweep it under the rug and never testify against the violent offenders.

Desperate Democrats have been changing laws so as to tie police officers' hands behind their backs. In response, the violent BLM/Antifa screams: "Defund the Po-lice!" That's why you still have 7,000 black people being killed by other black people annually in the U.S. That extreme violence seems to be an acceptable part of the "culture." Could it have anything to do with family structure? If you even mention that topic, the Dems call you "racist." Recently, in a store, I heard one black woman say to another, You look familiar, are you so-and-so? The other woman responded, No but she looks like me ... we're "sistahs from another mistah." The other responded, "Oh, ok." (Apparently, it's so ordinary and typical that it's a common saying. Sistahs from another mistah. Wow. But don't worry, the extreme urban violence epidemic has absolutely nothing to do with the breakdown of the family structure.)

Last week in SC there was a shooting at a high school in Orangeburg, SC. A local tv station interviewed a parent who stated “dis problem of violence aint on the parents or the chirren, its on the school and others.” I’m sure the parents of the “chirren” committing these crimes will have the same attitude. Until they take responsibility and teach their “chirren” how to behave in a civilized society nothing will change.

Grew up on the south side. A once beautiful neighborhood where my family lived for generations became a place where nobody could walk or shop in the neighborhood. Just going to your car was dangerous. Good black folks were as much victims as white folks. Hate does not discriminate.

9 “youngsters” = 9 double taps = 18 rounds
I guess sometimes you DO need more than a 10 round mag.

Why don’t they just speak the truth and say gang of young blacks?


It’s because we are supposed to be politically correct. It is considered racist to say black kids are committing these crimes. So we are compelled by political correctness to be vague in the descriptions of the perpetrators.
