Seven juveniles, ages 13 to 16, were each charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct. One of those teens, a 15-year-old boy, also had an outstanding warrant. Another 16-year-old boy faces more serious charges, including three felony counts of aggravated assault of a peace officer. A private security group, the Community Intelligence Unit, observed multiple fights and said one teen was beaten unconscious.

Audio and summary
So everyone ignore the elephant in the room. Don’t mention the obvious or even talk about it. You may be called racist. You will never be able to fix the problem because you can’t even point out the obvious.
It’s the fault of the generations of white rule, right?
These kids reflect the homes and neighborhoods they come from. Chaos in the home, chaos in the streets.
Where are all the violence interrupters that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson hired?
I see that this article was taken from Fox News. This is where I learned of this incident, also. I frequently listen to the radio news channel in Chicago. I heard no word of this in any news broadcast yesterday. Nor did it find mentioned on Chicago radio websites. What gives!? It seems to me that perhaps it is a concerted effort to help the unfortunate businesses in the Loop. They do not report, or delay reporting of these incidents lest people avoid the Loop. I now live in a suburb bordering Chicago. I grew up in Chicago and loved… Read more »
Chicago news doesn’t cover Chicago news. Translation. It only tells you what Braindead and Putzger want you to know .
A 16 year old girl was murdered in Glenview yesterday. Shot dead in her apartment at 11:00 a.m. The suspect is allegedly hispanic so that means both the Tribune AND the Sun-Times must ignore the story completely. Only CBS 2 covered the story and it’s on their front page. Every other Chicago news organization is intentionally ignoring the story because of the narrative. The Sun-Times posted an editorial yesterday saying that illegal migrants were being scapegoated because of Sheridan Gorman’s murder and that’s JUST NOT OK, GUYS. The crazy thing about journalism is that if it bleeds, it leads, so… Read more »
And you may have noticed that the story is day late, for the same reason. The incident happened Wednesday night but there were no stories Thursday morning that we saw. Only saw this Fox article later in the day. There was no excuse for missing it because videos were common on social media Wednesday night.
Going to be a long summer of this. Last year at various times in Chicago, the pool in Glen Ellen of all places. Saying it’ll take a tragedy for city leaders to wake up is false, there’ve been so many, most recently the Loyola student, and they say a few words, maybe, and shrug, then start yelling Trump again. Voters lament these troubles and still vote for the same people and party. Insanity prevails. On Halloween in Oak Park (Evanston west) around 500 “teens”, most from Austin, caused a ruckus in the business district big enough that Oak Park PD… Read more »
Next they’ll start spraying the police with the bear spray and pepper spray !! They know there will be no CONSEQUENCES, Shutdown the Red line to keep them out of downtown
Braindead sticks up for these kids actions , yet doesn’t realize they are making him look like the village idiot. And on a side note. Doesn’t anyone parent their kids anymore ?
No, not in certain neighborhoods.
I would love to see a black crowd do this on 26th Street in Little Village or Bridgeport!
Some do…just like they were taught/parented. On and on. These kids learn from what they see…this is what they see. Decades of lost generations of people. Democrats love it.
Apparently the four hour, twelve hour or two weeks prior notice of imposition of a curfew as proposed by Clownshoes isn’t going to cut the mustard.
15 with an arrest warrant. 16 with 3 felony charges of aggravated assault on a police officer. Incarceration is needed no matter what Pinhead thinks. These untrained uneducated criminals need to be off the streets and away from society. Does anyone believe their behavior will change – ever? Some liberals will say they are too young to know better and can change…uh huh…nope. 15 is old enough to know right from wrong and to know to not beat a kid unconscious. 15 is old enough to know not to fight with Police. 15 is old enough to know that continuing… Read more »
