At least they caught some of the perps.

NOTHING will happen to them!

The subjects eventually fled eastbound toward the lake. Chicago Police and Northwestern University Police responded, and Chicago Police later arrested three members believed to be part of the group on mob action charges. The victim was treated on the scene by Chicago Fire Department paramedics. No proceeds were taken from the victim.The victim could not provide descriptions of the multiple subjects involved.

The three will walk!!!

Wolf pack attacks in this nice part of town have become more and more commonplace. Until now, the media have spiked the stories. But so many ordinary Chicagoans know about them that editors have apparently decided to report on some of them in an attempt to maintain some credibility—too late for that.
Last week, cops were forced to close a near downtown beach because of gang/mob action. Mayor Emmanuel lied, telling the tame press corps that the beach was closed because of the heat. He better wise up: if the culture of the minority neighborhoods spreads to downtown, Chicago could go the way of Detroit. The schools have already gone, but the childless professionals who live in and near downtown will migrate to the suburbs if this nonsense isn't stopped.

This is what a “long hot summer” looks like when there is no specific grievance.

Yep, sadly this is a whole other ballgame if they are going to pull this crap on the Magnificent Mile/Near North side. If they are coming up out of the South side and going to nice areas, we’re all in big trouble.

We have raised generations of feral black youth, who were raised in a “baby mama” culture, without good male role models or fathers, of no restraints, no discipline, animosity, gang identification, anger at perceived racism, etc. If more nice areas of our cities are going to go ghetto, what will be left?

Of course the liberals and black liberals say it’s racist for people to move away from bad neighborhoods. But what they don’t understand is that middle class blacks are also fleeing these hell holes. It’s not white flight anymore. It’s flight of all good decent people who don’t want to live in a ghetto environment.

What disturbs me the most, is the fact the police and the media are doing their best to hide what’s going on. It’s like a modern day “emperor’s new clothes”

Scared to death to tell the truth, lest they be called "racist"

They will occasionally mention the race of the criminals but it's in an, "oh by the way, fashion". These mobs are close to 100% black or sometimes Mexican and that's the inconvenient truth.

I live in a small town and our population is not diverse at all but a larger city nearby has that "diverse" population and they are killing people every single day. All I can say is that if it comes to my town, I am armed and will not hesitate to kill, to defend my family and yes, my property too. I didn't bust my hump all my working life to live in fear and I won't, no matter the color of a criminal's skin.

Rant off. I'm just sick of it.

[Graybeard58]

People are rightfully upset about that area of American soil in southern Arizona which has been virtually ceded to criminal Mexicans, with our own citizens being advised to not go there, yet we have large areas in every major city in our country where ordinary, law abiding citizens, better not go.

This too really pisses me off. Free country? Don't make me laugh, it won't be "free" until I'm free to go anywhere in it that I want to, without fearing for my life.

(Guess I only thought I was through ranting.)

I keep waiting for this to happen in a state with “Shall Issue”. When 4 or 5 of the “mob” members are left bleeding on the ground, then this will make the national news. But you can be sure it will the victims fault for not letting them beat him half to death. “Privileged what male defends self and family by shooting innocent, never been in trouble before future rap stars”. What a loss for humanity.
Seriously though, when was the last time this happened in a “Shall Issue” state? Any ideas?

if they start attacking immigrant Russians or Vietnamese of Korean something will be done....the legal immigrants don’t usually take crap like this....we settled Americans just don’t know how to fight anymore...
