Teenagers out of control in Chicago

| April 17, 2023

Teenagers were out of control in Chicago, engaging in activities like attacking people, damaging vehicles, and causing tourists to panic. Sounds of gunfire were heard during the ruckus. One of the Chicago residents that was interviewed commented on how she understood how people wanted to have a great time, but indicated that these teenagers’ actions reflected bad parenting.

From Fox News:

Large groups of teens were seen blasting music from Bluetooth speakers and roaming in front of traffic, with some attempting to gain access to the city’s Millennium Park, which is off-limits to those under 21 after certain hours, and the downtown Art Institute.

Some teens in the group began jumping up and down on cars, smashing windows and attacking people inside. One woman told Fox 32 her husband was attacked from the driver side of his vehicle and beaten after a group of teens jumped up and down on the couple’s windshield. The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Hundreds of police officers assisted by SWAT teams descended on downtown in an attempt to restore order as gunfire was reported multiple times amid the unfolding scene.

Police were seen escorting frightened tourists back to their cars or hotels to escape the chaos, and traffic on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue ground to a halt as police attempted to restore order.

Police say a 6-year-old boy was shot in the arm near the Chicago Loop and a 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg. Both were taken to Northwestern Hospital and listed in fair condition, according to a report from WLS.

Fox 32 reported that the chaos appeared to be another “Teen Takeover” of the city that was planned on social media, noting that a similar scene played out in Chicago last year.

Fox News has photos, a video, and additional information.

So they had advance warning of its occurrence, it has happened before, so they knew what to expect would go on this time, and it took them by surprise, and of course, they didn’t really bother to react to it, just let it go on. Glad I live in free red America.

I remember riding the train from Great Mistakes to downtown Chicago in “A” school on the weekends. As soon as we got off, we’d get mobbed by extremely aggressive panhandlers, who of course, went straight for the kids in their dress blues.

That was 21 years ago. From what I’m seeing lately, now I wouldn’t be surprised if you were just attacked and robbed instead as soon as you stepped off the platform.

Gangs run Chicago.

LRAD adequate warnings, rubber buck/fin-stabilized slugs (see below), apply liberally, repeat as necessary.

Ooooh, the Security Dept. at D’s Cantina needs some of those!

If not just ‘roll your own search’. Take into consideration shipping costs, they vary widely in the ammo game.

For my money I’m a fan of SGammo, fast shipping and free over $200.

Oh, and in most civilized places use of ‘less than lethal munitions’ against two-legged predators is still considered ‘assault with a firearm/deadly weapon’… so what’s the point?

Full disclosure, don’t any semi scatterguns so feeding ain’t an issue, low power won’t cycle ’em. The bear defense item has one 00goodyearbuck on a side saddle for deterrence.

Chicago voted for it. Lap it up.

They’ll be stuck with more of the same. I have a cousin living there that will vote for “D” next to the name every time. Just because it’s a “D”.

Actually, sorry it’s come to this.

Behold my fields, Chicago.

Are your fields barren, and you have none to give?

Wouldn’t give them a fuck if I had a bumper crop.

Let ‘em crash… and burn! They got what they asked for.

I’m steaing this. Iwish I could somehow add it to the The As(s)teroid of Insults®™ but it’s a little too specific for one group and I’d hate to not include anyone of any party who is a copmplete asshat.

USMC Steve

I told everyone here that those mental midgets in Shitcongo would elect another idiot pretty much identical to the idiot they just ousted.

UpNorth

Who knew that this shitbird would make Lightfoot look like a moderate?

NDHoosier

It’s true. Citizens won’t need guns to protect themselves.

At the rate things are going, citizens will need field artillery, combat helicopters, and tanks to protect themselves.

Roh-Dog

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Like this place and its bounty of deadspace, I heard a Southern Gentleman that frequents this blog could also use a Mk19 to “secure that northern wall”.

NOTHING says ‘wrong house’ like the racking of a heavy crew-served!

Be still my beating heart! DAAAAYYUUUUM! You know me too well, My Brother! Got the perfect spots for a matched pair of them bad boys, one is a blind with a 270 degree field of fire to the North Wall and the other a nice high “Buzzards Roost” with another 270 degree clear field of fire, giving us interlocking coverage. Be a nice backup to the Coehorn Mortar…and the 4 inch Naval Deck Gun.

Now I need a cigarette…and something to pat dry the wet spot.

“Yeah, I did.”
BUT YOU DID IT WITH A GRENADE LAUNCHER!!”
“Yeah, now all of his friends are warned, potato, potahto.”

Deckie

I’m sure their new mayor will crack down on this…

Oh wait, no.. fucking idiots voted in another Lori Lightfoot hell bent on destroying the city.

It’s like they’re looking to be renamed New Oakland.

I support the Mayor in a vision of a police free future and believe that the Chicago Police Department should be disbanded immediately. Like today. Otherwise he is simply another hypocrite.

President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH Neande

And then declare ShitCongo a Free Fire Zone.
Dem yutes may not like receiving what they’re asking for.

It’s coming, and soon!

I was thinking more like a big wall and Escape From Chicago, with an elderly Snake Plisken called in one last time to rescue Mayor Beetlejuice from a den of prostitutes in the City center before nukes are launched at the entire world.

Johnson also claimed in a debate that standardized tests have “roots in eugenics to prove the inferiority of Black people.”
So….Is he saying that black folks are incapable of learning the necessities to pass standardized tests?
I may not be a MENSA member, but im pretty sure saying that people cannot do something because of the colour of their skin is the definition of racism.
I would love to watch Thomas Sowell tear a strip off this Woke idiot who is worse than Beetlejuice himself!

SFC D

Like I really needed another reason to not visit Chicago.

The only thing worth a damn in Chicago is an Italian beef sandwich, and you grab that passing through!

OAM

Thankfully the best of the best is at Narragansett and Montrose, Jays Beef. Technically Harwood Heights, next to one of the last livable neighborhoods in the city. Just have to brave the expressways to get there.

I went to biz conference in Chicago and stayed at the Trump Int’l right on the river. Ate steaks at Smith & Wollensky and went to Navy Pier, but we didn’t go much further. That was 2016-17, and its only getting worse. I went to the Taste of Chicago/Rush ST. in ’92 with a friend from Des Plaines who said I should leave NY/NJ for Chi-town. I moved to Florida a few years later. Best move I ever made.

The Loop ain’t the same now when I went on Liberty from Boot camp back in 1963.

Anna Puma

At this rate the Democrat National Convention is going to be really lit making 1968 seem a real love fest.

The cage around the convention, will it keep the degenerates in or out?

AW1Ed

No. No it won’t.

But it’s gonna be fun to watch.. lots of beer and popcorn

D’s Cantina will be stocked, make your reservations early, seating is limited.

Put me down, party of two. I’ll bring some Yuengling, a couple of bottles of quality whisky, and a GIANT tub of Chicago Mix popcorn.

It’s not correct to say they were out of control. They were simply doing what their parents do with a little help from their Chinese masters at Tik-Tok. They were being controlled, even if they didn’t know it was happening.

Roh-Dog

Well put.

Useful idiots?? Seems I’ve heard that term somewhere before… I mean, it’s almost like someone is using a playbook.. and encouraging an entire generation of low info / low intelligence shock troops to advance their agenda…

Rhey gladly and blindly do the bidding of their herders and handlers.

I don’t think it’s bad parenting,,,it’s no parenting.

Or like father/mother like son/daughter.
Overlapping generations of degenration.

And when you’ve got entire areas that address Fathers Day cards to “to whom it may concern”…

Two things left behind in looted stores in Chiraq, Father’s Day Cards and work boots.

It is just amazing how fast things go bad. Twenty five years ago I worked both in Chicago and the NYC areas on computer projects (I was, in fact, a Y2K warrior, but that’s a story for another time.) In Chicago the office and hotel we stayed at was south of the river and we freely roamed the area after work, going to dinner, the bars, shopping, Millenial Park, the Miracle Mile and riding the el as needed. On the east coast, the customer office was in New Jersey but the closest hotels were in Manhattan via the PATH train under the river. No problems there either, walking to dinner or riding the subway. In both cases there were certain parts of town to avoid but the business areas were safe, based on what I saw.

Now, I’m avoiding cities entirely.

The Giuliani “Broken Windows” Era. Those days are gone forever.

There is a perpetual haze of weed smoke over most cities these days. You literally can’t go anywhere in Atlanta, New Orleans, St Louis, Chicago and others without smelling it now.

Hack Stone

You forgot the stench of urine. The Stone Family went to New York City this past Christmas week. Everywhere you went it was the Bob Marley Mist and Urine. They should bottle that stuff and sell it.

5JC

TBH, I can’t recall any time a large city didn’t smell like #1 and sometimes #2. In the past though the Devil’s Lettuce was kept down to a minimum. Nowadays they seem to be happy to be blitzed most of the time.

Roh-Dog

That’s the city for you.

You think winter is bad? Try July during a trash carters union strike.

Fyrfighter

You forgot Denver. It’s nothing but an open sewer these days…

5JC

My last visit to Denver was pre-Covid. It was on the decline even then.

Fyrfighter

“personal use” amounts of any drug you’d care to name are now legal there… And the results are exactly what you’d expect. (of course the same morons are now restricting the meds available to paramedics, but that’s different, cause reasons)

Green Thumb

We are the youth gone wild.

UpNorth

Those Amish kids are out of control!!
The shit-head mayor of Shitcago wants to defund the police? Why don’t the officers just start looking for other jobs? There are plenty of places that need officers, I’m sure the departments would welcome experienced, competent officers.

And, hopefully, the mayor’s protection detail will be the first to leave. Their places taken by Crips, or would it be Bloods?

Deckie

Hah.. “new” Mayor..

Meet the new boss….

Same as the old boss!!!

Teenagers out of control in Chicago?

That’s NOTHING…

Try comparing them to “Teenagers From Outer Space” (1959)

1 minute trailer.

We STILL have nightmares reference that scene with that poor dog and the dude trying to get gas in his car… 😉  😎

It’s All Trump’s Fault…

Zero coverage by the network fake news (ABC, NBC, CBS). Nutting to see here, people. Move along.

Let’s not forget that THIS IS what the left wants to inflict on ALL of the USA, they’ll burn everything down just so they can rule over the ashes, it’s what the likes of Soros and his ilk want!

Roh-Dog

the meme codex predicted this.

time to oblige them?

we can rebuild. they? not so much.

Scott Adams was right. We need to just stay the hell away from them.

Where are the liberals saying that they are simply “victims of society” and all that shit? Let’s not forget that this is simply a sample of what the left wants to inflict on ALL OF the USA, thus their foaming-at-the-mouth crusade to disarm the public, that also would let them run their minions in places they would currently get shot.
