CHICAGO — Cell phone footage showing a group of teens viciously kicking and striking a 16-year-old honors student with splintered railroad ties has ramped up pressure on Chicago officials to address chronic violence that has led to dozens of deaths of city teens each year.
The graphic video of the afternoon melee emerged on local news stations over the weekend, showing the fatal beating of Derrion Albert, a sophomore honor roll student at Christian Fenger Academy High School. His death was the latest addition to a rising toll: More than 30 students were killed last school year, and the city could exceed that number this year.
Prosecutors charged four teenagers Monday with fatally beating Albert, who was walking to a bus stop when he got caught up in the mob street fighting, authorities said.

For starters, let’s ban railroad ties.

Before that, they'll get summer internships at the White House, as special advisors to Valerie Jarrett.
1943 Detroit Riot, but that was mutual (whites versus blacks). You have had white mini-riots on occassion (the Marquette Park protests against MLK in 1966, frat-boy riots on spring break), but nothing on the scale of what we have seen with other groups.
Or asians?
Pakis in the UK have a history of rioting. East Asians? Not so much outside of their own countries.
I seriously doubt that much thought went into it...
These guys make me grateful for my 2nd Amendment. They also make me wish I could get a cc in California... but that’s why I have a dog & pepper spray (and need a taser), I guess. That said, I pray they find God because their eyes look so dead and hopeless, and they’re so young, and just murdered another young man.
God bless you - what an awesome ministry.
They might get the message in Chicago if there was a national effort to completely boycott the city; no meetings, no tourism, don’t even drive through it or near it.
Well, they will never get a dollar from me.
At the very least, ban the “assault” railroad ties. Nobody should have those.
Apparently, they used pieces of railroad ties. NO ONE should be allowed to modify railroad ties, and we should limit ownership to only one or two ties. After all, why does anyone need a lot of railroad ties.
They’ll probably “find Allah” in prison,
because Islam justifies their own worldview and desires.
“Be like The Prophet - a murderous, thieving pedophile.”
Prison industries are one of the most underappreciated branches of Christian outreach. It can be a thankless job with lots of heartbreak. But sometimes, just sometimes, it turns lives around.
Thank you for your involvment.
You had whites throwing bricks at Jesse Jackson in Marquette Park all the way into the 1970’s, I believe.
To be more accurate.
Eric Holder has zero USA slave blood. His ancestors were never brought to America to be slaves. He can register his neurosis and complaints with Barbados and the Brits. We are not Barbados though I have heard blacks conflate the two. Coming off that because they were dragged from Africa to Jamaica they were slaves here
Another thing about Holder is he and wife are from elite Barbados families with less black blood and more white blood. The whiter you are there, the higher up on the Barbados food chain you are
Marcus Garvey, Stokley Carmichael, etc.... quite a few leaders of black America had no USA slave blood. Kind of a farce actually
Good luck with that, half the stuff in your house probably came through Chicago in one way or another.
They think their future is bright because they have their reparations coming. “Looter man” had a bright future until his Heiniken was gone.
