It takes a special kind of soul-less coward to assault an 87 year old.If it was my father/mother that was assaulted I'd very probably try to put a bullet in the head of the perp.

At least the ballerina mayor has the Chick-Fil-A problem taken care of.

The thugs are running the city.

I would like to know 1) What thoughts went through the heads of these three before, during, and after attacking an 87 yr. old man to steal from him, 2) What is their parental background, 3) Do they have the capacity for empathy and remorse - or has that been permanently deleted from them by their lives to this point, 4) Who are their heroes (if any)?

We need a real neighborhood watch group. Retired military guys that meet these little assholes 'in the alleys' and beat the living crap out of them.

Cook County Jail is a second home to them. The gangs run the place. No fear of going there - make the alleys be a very frightening place for the feral bunch.

Next time I see a roach somewhere, I’m going to ask it those questions before I step on it.

Apparently they took Rahm’s “leave the kids alone” directive to heart.

In the old days, “Street Justice” would be administered by the cops. Guess that too has gone away.

I would think there is/are a cop or two that has an elderly relative similar to thie elderly gentlemen. One would like to think they (cops) might revert to the old ways for a day or two at least..

“Next time I see a roach somewhere, I’m going to ask it those questions before I step on it.”

I understand your response. I'm not saying ‘let's try to understand them’. I think there is an ominous and systemic problem that started decades ago and is now so pervasive that it threatens the stability of the US. The 87yr old man is a veteran who served his country - and happens to be black. He likely thought that his children would do better than him, like we all hope, and did his part to help make that true. Now we have a whole generation that seems to have lost any respect for life - any life. This is not the result of some genetic/organic problem. This is the result of the rot in our society - and a breakdown of the family. This is especially problematic in cities. If we don't address it, we won't survive as a nation.

As to the first, it is genetic. Humans aren't charming, and civil at birth. It has been addressed since the 60s. The intentional cultivation of victim status and the careful fostering of racial animosity by the left for purposes of consolidating power. As for the broader decline of society, it's kind of a cultural Gresham's law. Unless it's relentlessly squashed by parents, cultural excrement will grab the attention of youth. We may well not survive as a nation. It's something I worry about a lot less since John Roberts converted me from free citizen to subject.

The breakdown of the family is the direct result of Johnson's War on Poverty. It won't be addressed because it is what Democrats want. Families are self reliant, and the Dems can't have that.
