The victim in this case was an intern at the company I work for...a really nice kid.

Be careful when in the city @ night:

I'm surprised as hell that it made it to the news.

Don't want the people with money to know what is actually going on.

It's been spreading progressively out of the ghetto.

I do love the reporting "Beaten by a group of juveniles"  The media needs to grow a pair and start ACTUALLY reporting.  Lets hear the race of said juveniles.  Can't do that though.  According to the Police Superintendent, it's the Pilgrims fault.  

For an enlightening look:

Read the comments.  Probably the biggest city cop blog.

Glad crime is illegal and that all we need are keys, a pointy comb and a tongue depressor for women. I haven't stepped foot in that sink hole in over 10 years now and am very glad about that.

yes. this is a good sorce of information

Just keep your eyes open for any groups of more than 2 minority teens and run away.

Run away? And live life in fear? I think not.

You can shoot them if you prefer. I would prefer not to have any altercation as the only time im in chicago is with my family.

That joke isn't very funny.

It's not about shooting them (although that's not a bad idea!), it's about having to deviate from your normal activities based on the fear of something happening. No one (while reasonably exercising their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) should have to yield any ground to scumbags whose sole intent is on fucking up your good time.

Of course there are X factors for every situation which have to be taken into account before one can assess the surroundings accordingly. From a general standpoint though (regarding the type of situation we're both referring to), I'd rather fight than throw in the towel prematurely.  

If you're steering clear of every group of minority teens of two or more (while downtown), your environment will resemble that of a pinball machine!

I wasnt joking. Now we really do need to profile the groups of people. I of course know that not all of these people have ill intentions but the fact does remain that the perps are minorities.  This is essentially the city of chicagos fault. They cant educate any child or try and change a childs path in life. The parents are nonexistent as well.
