Roaming mob of 'urban youth' terrorized Chicago's 'Magnificent Mile' in below-freezing weather, sent Asian bystander to the hospital
By Thomas Lifson

Cold weather no longer is acting as a deterrent to the marauding mobs of teenagers (of no particular demographic characteristic, according to Chicago mainstream media) roaming through Chicago's showcase shopping district along Upper Michigan Avenue around the Water Tower.  News of the attack could not be ignored, because the famous Water Tower Place Mall had to be closed and because the mob sent an innocent bystander waiting on a subway platform to the hospital.

CWB Chicago, the feisty neighborhood blog that does not shy away from facing Chicago's descent toward anarchy, reports:

Look at any American city with problems of violence and they all stem from a culture bread by Democrats that have been entrenched for many many years.

So why wasn't this mob arrested after the first incident instead of allowing these "yutes" to go on attacking others, shoplifting and generally causing more trouble?

Well, I might know why.  The police are no longer allowed to do their job.  Politicians,  mostly afraid of offending some race, group or other demographic, prevent the police from arresting these terrorists because, gee, they need the votes.  Doesn't matter to them that while these certain privileged members of a certain demographic go crazy, someone might be injured or killed.

I don't care what the causes of the lawlessness are....I want it stopped. The lawlessness of young, black males has been deliberately ignored or minimized by the authorities. Not even major conservative media outlets i.e. FOX NEWS will talk about it.
Nobody in positions of power or influence wants to talk about it.
Anybody who does is labeled a racist.
The problem is that the growing numbers of incidents like this creates more racists.
The solution is for the authorities to crack down on the lawlessness and ignore the hectoring about racism by the usual defenders of the young thugs.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

Well this being a msm account you cannot expect them to give a real identification of the perps....but the media has been using the code word 'teens' for long time now and it is always a particular group known to well for this sort of thing.

I have never heard thme use the phrase 'of no particular demographic characteristic' before to cover up for the perps before....someone has gotten creative.

The police say they have lots of video....but the only one I could find only showed the 'teens' from the waist down...I suppose since they are juveniles the media could not show their faces.

You know, sometimes I think Chicago was a lot safer back when old Al and the rest of the mob ruled.  Oh, these guys engaged in plenty of violent crime, but it was usually against each other and their enemies.  I don't think the old time gangsters would have stood for marauding gangs of teens roughing up random innocent people for no good reason.

LOL. Sure. Tell that to the folks who couldn't keep up with the payments on a protection racquet or folks who had their lively hoods and lives taken away because the Mob wanted to take over a legit business.

You're right.  But as they would say, those things were business.  These "yutes" are just going around hurting people for the hell of it.

But if we only had more gun control laws or common sense gun control laws, everyone one would just be nice to each other.

The Mob was at least relatively predictable. They wanted money, control over an areafor the purpose of running their rackets. Just making enemies or random violence in the neighborhood was sloppy and bad for business (a protection racket's gotta protect, or it's just a robbery).


These 'yutes' are feral rovers who engage in violence without real reason, other than they can. They get a kick out of it. That's sick, but the sickness is in the culture that lets this sort of thing exist. Grandmas can only do so much, and the breakdown of the family, that structure and the morals it imposed, enhanced and enabled by the social services and welfare system, encouraged by peers and media ("music" in particular, but other venues as well), is the real problem. Add to that any official (or even private) attempt to defend against this behaviour being decried as "racist", again, enhanced by the media who don't have the desire, will, or the balls to call this terrorism what it is, and the whole situation is fertile ground for sowing the seeds of a race conflict that need never have happened.

When we created/ expanded the welfare state we made the case that fathers were no longer necessary and that the nanny state would take of everything. The only role models that these boys grew up with absentee fathers. Stick around long enough to make a kid then get out of Dodge. Destroy the family unit, destroy the community. Destroy the community and the rest follows very quickly. Combined with the moral decay of the sexual revolution and we have had three generations of "Me first"
Frankly I am not certain that we can recover.

We Americans of "no color" will continue, but American blacks will NEVER recover from the destruction of the black family. For three out of four blacks, the concept of a "traditional family" is without meaning, perhaps extending several generations back. There's simply no solution that can rebuild this.

Some problems cannot be solved.
This is one of them.

Well, it -could- be solved, but forcing "the solution" into effect would be out of the question to 95% of the readers of this forum...

As long as the subsidies which keep the large urban core of this cultural degeneration continue, we, meaning all Americans, will not win. Certainly, the violence, moral rudderlessness, violence and crime will continue, especially in those areas most heavily subject to this flavor of 'do-gooderism'. What was sold as a 'hand up' has become a handout, and it makes the destruction of the black family continue. Where those who are on the periphery of those core areas are making a living, the social standards are somewhat different, the family is more intact, and people prosper in neighborhoods which are relatively safe. The difference is striking, but media keep promoting the destructive and denigrating those who are productive and family oriented. It is a problem the Black community has to solve--no one can do this for them. People have to have the desire to do better, and then act on that to make their lives better. 'Colorless' Americans have also suffered with no-fault divorce and other policies and trends which have wrought destruction on their families as well, but the effects are not as dire because of the whole notion that 'colorless' people are providers. One of the observations i have made is that where Hispanic culture isn't corrupted by the more seedy aspects of American urban culture, family is still important.

When the Communists sought to destroy the family unit, expecting to replace it with the State, they waged war on the most fundamental governmental unit--and continue to do so, in some sort of ongoing daddy issue that just won't quit. It turns out some demographics were more susceptible to the seductions of the Socialists--others had already seen how this had worked in Russia and other countries and wanted no part of it.

I have to politely disagree. Back in the 60's Daniel Patrick Moynihan commented that the illegitimate birth rate among african americans families was over 30% and he did not think they could recover from that, it is now approximately 70%. We the Caucasian population is rapidly approaching if not already at 30%. What makes anyone think we can recover from that?

This is the result of decades of Liberals weaponizing Blackness against greater society at large, not just against Whites. No matter what culture borders what is called a 'Black area', they will be in conflict with Black people. Asian, Korean, Jews, Hispanic, even non-American born Black people, it doesn't matter, they all clash with American Black ghetto culture. Even the so called 'Black area' will have all kinds of conflicts with people raping, robbing, and killing each other. They are not even immune to themselves.

American Black culture, along with greater Islamic culture, are being used by very powerful people. To the billionaire Liberals, these people are no more than intentionally uneducated drones. They are being whipped up into this brainwash of anger, grievance, and violence, because this benefits leaders and other people in power by keeping them distracted as to what is really causing their problems.

Ever wonder why all these hate-Whitey/hate-America radical Blacks never move to another country? It is because no other country on Earth except American Liberals would tolerate their behavior. And they know that. Try any of this stuff in Mexico for example, and see what happens.

Obviously, not all Black people fall into this category. I am speaking about American Black culture writ large, and not about individuals. This is clearly obvious by just taking a look at Black American music. The majority of which is about murder, rape, selling drugs, robbery, money at any cost, and just general violence against the world.

This culture, along with violent Islamic culture, will eventually be absorbed into the greater civilized societies of the world, in say 100 years or so. But today, there is no way to predict what will be the catalyst to make this happen. Whatever it is that brings this about, whatever happens to cause the status quo to shift, it is surely going to be something big and world shaking. I doubt that it will happen in my lifetime, but you never know?
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Please take a few minutes to read this milestone essay written by Charles Murray and first published in The Wall Street Journal on October 29, 1993:
"The Coming White Underclass"
https://www.aei.org/publication/the-coming-white-underclass/

Whites (at least the lower-end whites, of which I am one) are susceptible to this, but fortunately not as much as are blacks, for whom the illegitimacy issue has become terminal.

Yet I sense that enough whites, even lower-end ones, will have the basic abilities to keep out of such situations.
Blacks, however, seem almost-incapable of staying free of them.

As far back as 1996, I was putting up posts about this over in the now-gone AOL issues forums, and later on TOS.

It would be possible to curtail black illegitimacy rates and force them down to reasonable numbers (say, 10% or less), but doing so would require coercion and suffering and few here would have the intestinal fortitude to mandate it (I would).

Would you be willing to withhold ALL financial aid to illegitimate mothers AND their children...?
