Police: Group of robbers attacking victims walking downtown

By Rob Elgas Friday, October 21, 2016 10:21PM CHICAGO (WLS) --

Chicago police issued a warning after multiple women were attacked downtown in the past week, one of them just blocks from Millennium Park.

The suspects are working in large groups of five to eight young men and women. Police said they believe the offenders are teenagers.

Police said the targets are women, mostly walking alone, on busy downtown streets. All the attacks happened before 11 p.m.

The most recent robbery happened in the first block of East Van Buren Street on Wednesday at 10 p.m. The victim was hit in the head before the group struck her and kicked her while she was on the ground.

Concealed carry is legal in Chicago. I’m just saying.

Nice to know. . .such a great physical description. . .no mention of race at all. . .race of the attackers and race of the victims.

What's the point? Everyone knows they're black. It's not like anyone is out there looking for white kids.

Not entirely humorous.

Anyway who thinks human casualties can dissuade liberal true-believers are forgetting history. America has become Aztec.

The collapse of Biblical morality has brought bloodthirsty paganism back, with an unending sacrifice of human babies and even adults to appease the Gods of Muliculturalism.

Feral yutes. I’m surprised midnight basketball hasn’t gotten them off the streets.

Until I saw the “not my wife” disclaimer, I was going to say that your long gun is not hot tub rated.

Chicago is overrated... I was in Chicago for a boat show and at the time a hot dog was $8. When I left I never went back...I avoid it as much as I can.

that recent listing of most violent crime in cities was incomplete....the study even states that some police depts. and cities did not fully participate so the listing is not reliable.....

Well there were several out. But it’s interesting that only Chicago is mentioned with a tally.
