Note that the police officers were patrolling as "a pack." Not "an apparent pack."
What is is with all these mob attacks lately?
Also note there was no mention of the race of the perps or the victims—another affie on whitey crime ignored by the press. Make no mistake, if it was the other way around, hate crime would have been splashed all over national news.
And Rahm is “gonna get the thugs”? Does Holder know about this?
Dear sheeple, should have kept an eye and your vote on your politicians.
The only people allowed firearms are the criminals and police on the streets, due to the laws.
Well, criminals aren't allowed, but criminal do not care, this is why they are criminals.
Criminals do not obey the law, as law-observing citizens do.
Change your politicians and arm yourselves, if you want protection.
I would recommend this be done yesterday.
Sorry, this is your only choice, otherwise prepare for the slaughter, sheeple of Chicago.
I imagine that the media will soon be putting a lid on reports of future attacks. I would suggest for FR people that; if an attack occurs in your home region and is not reported, then post it on this site.
The political officers in charge of Chicago can accept several dozen innocent citizens being killed. Their deaths are explainable, and even the blame can be shifted elsewhere. Their deaths even provide an opportunity for politicians to pose as crime fighting heroes with a bunch of tough talk. There's just no downside to deaths of citizens if you have a competent political spin machine. At worst, all that's required will be to apologize to a bunch of liberals who voted for you anyway and will continue to do so. What else can they do?
What the big city politicians can't risk is any of these violent flash mob thugs picking the wrong target and getting a stomach full of lead: Nobody at the city leadership level needs a new anti-hero like Bernie Goetz, heightened hostility from the urban criminals, and a bunch of inner city ministers denouncing violence using that annoying preacher schtick, not to mention wailing mommas lamenting the deaths of their babies. The national scrutiny of big cities by a divided American public and weeks upon weeks of a vigilante's trial will be too damaging and capture all the news cycles: Nancy Grace, Joy Behar, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, MSNBC, FOX News... Oh, HELL no. Please, anything but our fair city being turned into America's next pop culture public spectacle.
It's so much easier to just let the innocent citizens get killed, pretend to be mortified over it, and then it's all forgotten a week later. There's really no newspapers to rake any politician over the coals anymore, and what left wing journalists remain will just blame the NRA anyway even if the innocent victims are stabbed with a kitchen knife. In fact, you can even call the last fleeing taxpayers a bunch of racists for moving out of the city to escape the violence.
It's going to be a long hot summer, starting yesterday.
I can’t control myself. Another ping.
What keyword should I put on these?
Nice 'bias' catch...
It seems the police could follow these animals on their “flash mob” organization tool and be there when they arrive.
I wonder how the community could fight them off in going to the aid of a victim.
The only thing I can think of is neighbors picking them off with a gun (which is probably illegal in Chicago) at a distance. It would take the fun out of the race bullying, aka, “flash mob” real quick. The police and Mayor would get real serious in beating them back then.
