Chicago film office chief appointed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot is rushed to intensive care after being beaten up by gang breaking into his car - as mayor says carjackers strike because they feel 'unloved'

The head of Chicago's Film Office was rushed to intensive care after being beaten by three car thieves described as children - as the very mayor who appointed him claimed carjackers only struck because they feel unloved.  

Kwame Amoaku, 51, was attacked twice by three people just before 8am Wednesday morning outside his home in the centre of Chicago, near the National Museum of Mexican Art.

Chicago police reported that Amoaku saw three young men inside his car as he walked toward it at 7:46am, on the 2100 block of West 22nd Place.

He confronted the intruders, who then attacked him and fled in a gray Dodge Caravan that was waiting nearby.

Moments later, they returned to the scene, beating Amoaku a second time and robbing him, before driving off in his car.

'This AM I was attacked, beaten, and my car stolen by three kids,' he wrote on Facebook.

'Thanks to all who have reached out. I'm in the ICU, I'm going to be OK.'

Was it an SUV?

Maybe we can call it a “mostly peaceful environmental related protest”?

Actually they strike because they are Black criminals and know with high degree of certainty that they can get away with it

Kissing Black ass is more important than fooling around with Black criminals

Hmmmm. I thought it was pressure to succeed like other segments of society. No?

Idiot mayor believes that people are all just as stupid as she is.

With her kind, there are no criminals. If they had all been loved,they would not have committed any crimes.

Perhaps the city needs to set up a committee of love, where any potential criminal comes to get love.

UNLOVED?! Oh, now I understand. Lightfoot should be out in the streets, giving the youths the love they need and miss.

He confronted the intruders

Which makes him by default, a Racist White Supremacists. He should have done what the Demonrats and the Media tell the public to do in a case like this, Hand over your Keys, Wallet, Rings and Watches to the misguided yutes...

This story will disappear down the memory hole in no time.

These feral youths need to be caught and incarcerated for a very long time, but that will never happen in Chicago.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Couldn’t repel the attackers by yelling “I love you!”?

according to article, this dude’s daughter posted on facebook:

‘You never think this would happen to your family. Until it does.’

this is the crux of the issue of how liberals think. they view the world through rose colored glasses, and can only wonder what went wrong when they have the misfortune to become the victims of their own do-good schemes.

“Idiot mayor believes that people are all just as stupid as she is.”

Those people elected her, therefore, the evidence would indicate that the idiot mayor is correct in her belief.

She’s probably right.

They elected her, didn’t they?

“...after being beaten by three car thieves described as children... attacked twice by three people... Amoaku saw three young men inside...my car stolen by three kids”


So we’re pretty definite about there being three and they did look to be male but other than that the details are pretty sketchy.

I had no idea that the National Museum of Mexican History would be located in Chicago, I’d think Mexico City would be a better location for such a place.

I’m impressed that the car jackers were up before noon. The early bird catches the worm.

As with the Will Smith slap, wipipo cannot understand the need to assault people and steal their vehicles.
