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.'

Yes, the “kids” clearly aren’t black. They were later caught on surveillance tape going into a mall. It’s two males and one female, not black but white-ish. They look like Hispanics or Gypsies to me.

I would think the victim feels much more ‘unloved’ by the criminal carjackers ...

I would ...

Gee maybe thats due to my fairy tale ‘white privilege’

Unloved or they need a car to commit other crimes.

Kudos to you for your positivity. But how is someone in ICU posting on Fakebook?

What morons.

They attack because there are no consequences for doing so.

Me, too, at first.

It would have been poetic justice.

Good job, two-thirds of Chicago voters who couldn’t be bothered to show up at the polls when there were actually much, much better choices for mayor. Good job.

When he was asked how he knew the three were men, lori shut him down, saying we’re victims not biologists.

Beaten by only three thugs?

Can we assume they also kicked her in the head - lowlifes love causing brain damage.

According to Tiffany Cross on MSNBS, white folks don’t understand Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock. Apparently it’s a b+l+c+k thang.

Thang is, I understand this even less. They returned to beat on the guy after they had the car (and probably the keys after the first beating)?

Maybe the problem isn’t that they are unloved. Maybe the problem is they are not unloved enough.

Yes, common Black street tribalism. The slapped one demonstrated disrespect.

Such tribal behavior happens every day in places like Walmart and McDonalds

Yeah... well... they may just be run of the mill white trash. Not to be harsh, but we have a few.

I’m impressed the guy can text from ICU.

I have to agree with Lightfoot. Street savages were obviously unloved, unraised, & unwanted save for child welfare money. However, Lightfoot’s primary job is public safety. If she can’t or wont arrest & Jail EVERY violent criminal, regardless of age or circumstance, then she is a failure & should resign.
