Last weekend, a flash mob of up to 500 Chicago young people — mostly teens — descended on downtown and began to burn cars, terrorize tourists, smash windows, and fight among themselves in a no-longer-shocking display of lawlessness and mayhem.
Some Chicago leaders appeared frightened. “We’ve had more than our share of downtown mass arrest incidents going back over a decade. This is not new,” 2nd Ward Alderman Brian Hopkins said. “What is new is to have it happen three days in a row.”
The police were paralyzed and ended up quarreling with other agencies about who was in charge and who was at fault.

They are feral humans, being given permission to wreak havoc by leftist communists. Anyone who stays in one of these cesspools deserves what they get. Get out while you can---your life has no value there.

Why do these poor deprived disadvantaged “teens” all have iPhones and Air Jordan Nikes?

Wrong. It was just thieves, joining forces into a thief army. Until they just start shooting them, this will continue.

Oh right, it's ok if it doesn't happen three days in a row...I don't have any thoughts about how to stop this as they obviously don't have a decent home or parents to guide them...mass arrests?? Naw, the lib judges and DA's will just let them walk...oh wait, how about a water cannon or two and pick them up like the cops did in Soylent Green...??

It seems like the world no longer considers law and order to be something positive, let alone a priority.
It's not a rebellion against the concept of law and order, though -- but against the particular order that has prevailed for centuries. As soon as the Left has reversed the ordering to give all the power to THEM, then the enforcement will become harsher, even absolute. And instead of fixing the problems, like they promise, it will make them orders of magnitude worse.

I don’t care if your a billionaire or as poor as a church mouse, one knows better then to destroy someone else’s property. Also knows that taking items from a store without paying is stealing! The taxpayer, store owner and business person is NOT the reason for poverty. They are being assaulted by these brats. Until these kids are prosecuted nothing is going to change. And don’t blame the police. They have no backing. They arrest a brat. Two hours later he is free to go out and steal or destroy things again. It’s all being done on purpose. Get rid of cops. No prosecutor who is not on the take would let these kids continue. No judge not on the take would not give the proper punishment. Something is not right. Who is helping to keep the crime rate up. And blame the police? Everyone one off these kids should be arrested and kept in jail. Then go get the parents.

The only segregation going on these days is blacks wanting segregated "safe spaces" away from whites.

Idiot politicians cry that the young thugs have been "starved of opportunities in their own communities". Of course, rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, and mayhem for three days opens opportunities and encourages businesses to hire these young hoodlums. Politicians always come up with creative excuses for the out of control crime in Chicago and manage to blame everyone but the criminals. Things will never get better until they admit they are the problem. Maybe they should apply the principals of the AA 12 Step program to themselves to help solve the crime problem. Step 1, admit you have a problem!

We have a problem race in this country, not a race problem. These things have been going on too long and will continue until the problem race is made to be civil.

It was a violent and destructive riot by a bunch of feral youth!!! Period!!!
You would think that someone who was elected to the legislature would know that protests are peaceful, and riots are destructive and violent.
MLK must be spinning in his grave at how his "dream" has become a huge "nightmare" in the black community!!!!!

It's Chicago, which has devolved into a third world s-hole. No one cares to hear excuses.
How does the city plan to prevent these recurring teen flash mob events from happening again?

no conseuences. why stop?
#19 is correct and only they can fix their culture. but as long as the fascist party allows it, defends it, promotes it and pours welfare dollars into their plantations to maintain their voter base it will not end.

Political act?
So if someone shoots the President and VP so that the Speaker can be President, is it a political act?
Or is it murder?

Part two is planned for this weekend so we'll see if the police have learned anything, doubtful though that may be.
