"Teens." "Boys and girls." You know the drill.

If there is any good news at all from this story, it’s that it’s being reported by leftie site Yahoo. So I suppose they are slowly waking up.

It’s too little and too late, of course. Very bad times are ahead. At this point, it’s unavoidable.

Bad times, indeed. But I have yet to see a robust, effective response.

Keep voting for pro-crime Democrats and this is what you get. He shouldn’t be shocked at all. This is the problem. People go on living their lives as if they are not going to be impacted by the chaos around them. Then when they are impacted, they are shocked.

Too bad he didn’t draw a fire arm and ventilate a few of them after he got off the train.

A lifelong Chicagoan? He should’ve known better. Easily. He was taking a chance, as he’d done before, his luck ran out. There’s no way I’d ride the El after say, 8 pm, and think I wasn’t a potential target. It can happen anytime of day, granted, but at night, the real parasites come out knowing there’s less chance of being confronted. As for cops on the CTA, uh, where are they? This has always been the case on these trains, going back decades, but much worse now given DA Crimesha’s “law enforcement” and the CPD’s force down 2,000 officers. Chicago is a dystopia more than ever.

Chicago mayor Johnson says that these youth act this way due to a failure of government spending on schools, housing, welfare etc. If only we spend a few trillion more, this poor man could ride the subway in peace.

The vic would not even disclose the ethnicity of the group so he is not believable on anything else, he is a liberal. Afraid of being called a racist. If the thugs were White or Black that should have been disclosed one way or the other in the article.

"I have yet to see a robust, effective response."

I don't know at what age one is considered senior, maybe its varies from state to state.. But, I would assume an old guy would be allowed to use whatever means available to protect his own life....even a firearm. Yes.??

He is a “Lifelong Chicagoan” and he rides the train. He is not too smart. A brain surgeon he will never be.
