The freshman nursing major said that after most of the passengers in her rail car got off at the UIC-Halsted stop, one man moved to the seat in front of her. As the train left the station, Hughes said she got a bad feeling. That's when the 19-year-old said the man tried to take her iPhone.
"He started pushing me and then he pushed me to the floor and when he pushed me to the floor, he started hitting on me constantly. His body was on top of me holding me down so I couldn't fight back," she said.
But Hughes didn't let go of her phone, even when her attacker bit her hand. She says the woman her attacker was with then punched her in the face before both fled to another rail car without the iPhone or anything else. Hughes said she finally got some help at the Kedzie/Homan stop.
A day later, the swollen and bruised teen says it will be tough to ride the train again as she struggles to understand why she was targeted.
"The fact that there was two people and that, why me," she said.

Many DO think this stuff.
Thievery does not cause them feelings of guilt BECAUSE THEY DO NOT VIEW IT AS THIEVERY.
Correct, as are CTA buses and Metra commuter trains as well.
Well, they're "prohibited" for those who don't care about protecting their own personal safety as much as I do.
Just sayin'.....
Whites live in the North while the Blacks live in the South. If you're a White person, why would you venture to the South Side?
Indeed.
Motive? They don’t need no steenking motive. Or, as Richard Pryor learned from a brother while performing at a prison...
Pryor -— Why did you break into the house and murder all those people?
Inmate -— Well, they was home.
Why did the train do this to her? What did she do to offend the train? It's a complete mystery!
As time passes I wonder if the right conclusion will dawn on her as she replays the event in her mind each and every day? She will never forget it.
They can’t move to the south of their own city. That’s scathed
You are no doubt correct.
Admittedly, the event presents a very complex factual pattern. There are perhaps good local reasons not to speculate or rush to unfounded conclusions. This, of course, may even outweigh a detailed, in-depth consideration of the obvious.*
*"Hughes didn't let go of her phone, even when her attacker bit her hand."
That, sir, is the only explanation that makes sense.
Another one of Obama's sons.

I’m sure most of you know, but most feral youth or homeless board a train and go from car to train car looking for victims. I’ve lived most of my life here in Chicago, they usually do this on North Northwest side. They spot a victim, (who usually isn’t paying attention - had her headphones on) wait ‘til train nears a station, jump for the phone and run out the door
She Said she doesn’t know why she was targeted, Is she new to living in the city? Sadly this happens all the time, mostly on the blueline

Probably targeted because she was dripping with White Privilege!
oh, I don’t know about Abraham Lincoln- if you look up some of his quotes, he was a realist at least.
