A Hoffman Estates man said Sunday that he is recovering from the minor injuries suffered when he was dragged by a car carrying youths who stomped on and broke pieces of the Christmas display that has illuminated his yard for 17 years.
"There was about seven or eight boys just absolutely destroying our Christmas decorations," he said. "Just stomping, ripping and breaking them to pieces."
OBrill, 46, of the 4000 block of Winston Drive, said he stood in front of one of the two vehicles that the vandals jumped into.
"I got in front of the first car, thinking it was going to stop," OBrill said. "He just kind of ran me down."
OBrill's hand got caught in the windshield wiper, was dragged a short distance and his left foot was run over. He did not get the license number of either vehicle.

This is more than ordinary vandalism, this is pure evil.
this is infuriating
Bingo.
What a nice way to ruin your lives, children.
I hope they’re charged as adults.
I wonder if these “boys” were members of a certain “tolerant” religion that gets offended easily?
Not likely, since the homeowner didn’t even get a license plate number.

Perhaps this is just a dry run by the youths for future membership in the ACLU??
Hope the homeowner will use a brick to their windshield rather than putting himself at risk next time.
My brother lives in greater Chicago near a large infestation of Christian hating muslims. Wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t islamic rage-boys.
Too bad this wasn’t about an armed homeowner defending himself and his property...

“islamodemocommucrats or nihilists, same ilk.”
Bingo!
Sounds like what this guy needs is a paintball gun with balls loaded alternatively with neon paint and hot pepper powder.
He needs video cameras around his house, that way he could have taped the whole attack, with license plate and the faces of the atatckers.
But he didn’t expect such a vicious attack.
The vandals were methodically destroying his Christmas decorations. This was not a “childish prank”.
These are the same type of “youths” rioting in France — attack and destroy, just because...
France stunned by rioters’ savagery

“IN retrospect, it was not a good idea to have left his pistol at home. Called to the scene of a traffic accident in the Paris suburbs last Sunday, Jean-François Illy, a regional police chief, came face to face with a mob of immigrant youths armed with baseball bats, iron bars and shotguns.
What happened next has sickened the nation. As Illy tried to reassure the gang that there would be an investigation into the deaths of two teenagers whose motorbike had just collided with a police car, he heard a voice shouting: “Somebody must pay for this. Some pigs must die tonight!”
The 43-year-old commissaire realised it was time to leave, but that was not possible: they set his car ablaze. He stood as the mob closed in on him, parrying the first few baseball bat blows with his arms. An iron bar in the face knocked him down.
“I tried to roll myself into a ball on the ground,” said Illy from his hospital bed. He was breathing with difficulty because several of his ribs had been broken and one had punctured his lung.
His bruised and bloodied face signalled a worrying new level of barbarity in the mainly Muslim banlieues, where organised gangs of rioters used guns against police in a two-day rampage of looting and burning last week. “
They never had any religion. They never had any respect for anyone. ...and their as gay as fruitiest candy 'sses in the gay pride parades.
