VIDEO: Brutal Mob Attack On Woman During Chicago Teen Rampage – Where is the Media and Political Outrage?
Mainstream media almost completely silent.
A social media video showed a mob of young kids during the ‘Teen Takeover’ in Chicago beating and robbing a woman.
The woman was trying to get into her apartment building:
The video, which was widely circulated on social media as part of a larger “mix tape” of the downtown riot over the weekend, shows a woman appearing to attempt to enter the doorway of 129 Wabash Avenue in Chicago, an apartment building near the city’s Millennium Park.
However, before she gets inside, the woman is surrounded by a large group of people who block the doorway. Some then pounce on her, the video shows.
The woman, identified as 18 to 24-years old, was with a 22-year-old male victim during the attack, Chicago police said.
The mob surrounded the victims and multiple people “struck the victims several times before taking their personal property and fleeing in an unknown direction,” the police report said. No arrests have been made in the incident, while the victims were transported to the University of Illinois Hospital with what were classified as “minor injuries.”
…Update: The Chicago Police Department today released the following statement, confirming that the incident seen in the video was originally recorded as a robbery on nearby Michigan Avenue. pic.twitter.com/gQcCYqj79E

he is doing “ok.” No major injuries. DJ tells me he has injuries to face and shoulder but is ok.
Say they had phones, shoes, Apple watch stolen.
They tell me a woman helped them. Took them to hospital. Gave them shoes, $40.

Where the hell is the media? I’m having trouble finding information about the Teen Takeover in Chicago media. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.
The teens destroyed property, attacked tourists, and smashed car windows:
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.
Police arrested 16 people after the weekend. Residents don’t feel safe anymore.
This is just…I have no words.

This story is interesting because it's almost an exact flip of the shooting case that just made the NYT – inter-racial crime, brutal but non-fatal, urban, no one yet prosecuted, social media rage around it – but has so far received ~no "MSM" coverage.
Thus is narrative made. https://t.co/IxuZaL0vwC

Also 44 people shot with 13 killed over the weekend; highest death toll during 2nd weekend in April over past 10 years.
The only good news out of this

Oh… it is all about gun control. Oh… it’s all a protest about economic and racial poverty. Oh.. it is all about white supremacy. The new mayor will fix that. Bringing the Chicago (Baltimore, NYC, Detroit, SF, Portland) Values to the rest of the country.
It is about gun control, where every able bodied person receives training and a gun.
Oh they are part of the mob!
Democratic convention is going to be epic
Chicago is a century long Leftist fiefdom, with a new Commissar in Chief. The media will not report anything that would make them look bad. The only thing to do is to try to not do business in or visit Chicago. If you live there, that is your choice and within the limits of the endemic vote fraud, how things are there are the consequences of your choices. If you choose to stay, then it is your problem.

They’re practicing (as if they need it) for the Democratic National Convention.
Richard J. would never have put up with any of this.
I just watched the 5:30 (MDT) of CBS nightly news and not a peep about any of this.
Feral teens doing their “thing”….
Democrat propaganda organs know what to report and what to smother.
They cover the most important stories of the day… with a pillow, until they stop moving.

Take up the Welfare burden-
And reap its old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard-
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:-
“Why brought ye us from bondage,
our loved Egyptian night?”
Ah yes, Kipling (somewhat updated).
Actually, this stanza (also updated) would seem more apropos:
Take up the Welfare burden—
The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Let’s keep this going, and get the whole poem in. It’s sad I had to use “welfare” as a replacement, but this site is as PC as Whoopi when it comes to race.
I’ve lived in the Chicago area my entire life. Downtown had cleaned up and was relatively safe for quite a stretch. There are thousands of fairly new condos and apartments in and near downtown. Most are very pricey. I imagine the owners are trying to figure out how to unload them before things get really bad.
Then there are the major corporations who left leafy campuses in the suburbs so they could occupy expensive office towers downtown. In the process, most lost long-tenured employees at the expectation of hiring the hip (inexpensive) youngsters who wanted the urban vibe and wouldn’t work in the suburbs. Then came COVID and this stuff and no one wants to go to those expensive real estate digs. How’s that working out for you?
I’ve passed on applying for several good jobs with companies that are downtown. I have no desire to be in that mess. I just accepted a job in the suburbs for likely less pay than the city jobs, but I’ll have a nice commute and free parking. As I wind down my career, I’m on the hunt for a place where law and order are expected and “woke” only refers to what time you got out of bed.
At the rate things are going, the DNC shindig next year may be a wake for Chicago.
Same here. My entire life been watching the modern day black plague destroy a beautiful city.
I witnessed the same. Suburbs all my life. Much better quality of life. No desire to go to the city anymore. It’s sad to watch the deterioration. Hope to get out of the state eventually.
Back in the early ’70s when we were starting out in northern Virginia, my new bride was a white-hot executive secretary who temped Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax Counties, but wouldn’t take postings in the District.
At one point she broke her resolve for a job that paid more than twice her usual rate. First day on the posting, the Hanafi Muslims invaded the District Building and two others, and held 150 hostages the entire day, killing one reporter and putting a bullet into Marion Barry. My wife closed out her work that day, did not return, and never took a posting in the District again.
That was 50 years ago this year, and blue cities have gotten anything but better.
Wow that is an interesting story.

Makes you wonder if the feds are behind all of this.
You have a CCW? The ghetto gangsters will exploit and their shopping into places where the hunting is good.
Lets hope that we see a LOT more of them for the DNC.
In the face of repeated episodes like this how much longer will folks stay in the places this occurs? Mob action is unpredictable and this could easily have turned into a murder. Get out while you can b/c if this glide path continues there will be a day when you alone allowed to leave.
It’s ethnic cleansing, but it’s called white flight, and only the victims are blamed
It isn’t limited to ‘white folks’ the victims seem to be anyone who isn’t part of the mob. Those who want to work and be law abiding productive Citizens who take care of their family and care about their community don’t seem to have a future in some of these blue enclaves. Anyone who isn’t a part of the mob is being provided plenty incentives to depart. I hope they all go before it is too late.
I was struck by a video I saw earlier tonight of a woman entering the remains of a looted grocery store crying “I’m just looking for food. How am I gonna feed ma babies?”
I wondered how many of those riots she participated in before she got a little less svelte/mobile and acquired kids to feed.
They’ve learned their lines from Democrat pols from their new mayor to AOC who keep saying stealing is about putting food on the table. It’s clearly not, but they’ve picked up on the excuses, so this is what follows.
Chicago needs a new fire, one that ends it forever
I lawfully carry for self-defense. I certainly hope I am not subjected to this kind of assault, because if I am, there will be corpses, probably including mine. But if I take an honor guard with me, it will be a start.
These punks will not stop until there are dead “protesters” in enough numbers so that the rioters learn there can be consequences.
Wasn’t Michelle Obama whining about white people leaving black neighborhoods?
Yeah, that miserable, entitled and supremely privileged narcissist (who once falsely accused an elderly woman who didn’t recognize her of treating her as the hired help at a photo-op visit to a Virginia Target store, for asking for Obama’s help in reaching an item situated on a high shelf) complained about the Dumb-o-crat boogeyman/pinata of “gentrification,” which is merely a euphemism for blatantly racist sentiment, i.e., “We (blacks) don’t want non-blacks moving in to ‘our’ neighborhoods.”
What makes these black activists and agitators such hypocrites on this issue is that they’ll cry racism if non-blacks don’t want to move into their neighborhoods. So, it’s a classic case of “damned if you do; damned if you don’t.”
To correct my statement, above — you’re right that Obama complained about so-called “white flight,” but, I believe that she also had complained about “gentrification.”
Obama’s not
Living in any section 8 housing
The video of the white woman being attacked will never be shown by the media. All other “teen takeover” video is only giving you the sanitized version of what happened. Here is a video of one of the “teens” showing the real crap they were doing. This is demon behavior. They complain about “police brutality”, while they beat each other to a pulp. Warning: Turn off the volume or your IQ may drop a few points.

Good place to not live.
Animals.
Racist Hate Crime.
If the races were reversed, CNN and all the rest would be showing video of it 24/7 to incite race riots nationwide.
With white victims and black perps, even “conservative” sites CENSOR the fact that this assault was entirely racially motivated.
“mob of young kids” beating a “woman”. What a farce. By censoring the most relevant facts, you enable the problem to persist – and get worse year after year.
No one ever addresses the problem, because the problem has universally been swept under the rug.
The victim was white and her attackers weren’t, so of course the mainstream media ignores it. The police are somehow unable to make arrests despite video clearly showing some of the perpetrators, almost as if said police refuse to arrest blacks who attack whites.
Why bother? They’ll drive the perp in, Kim Foxx will meet them at the station to uncuff them, pat them on the head, and say, “Bye, have a beautiful time!”
If you live in a jungle you either need to be armed and prepared to kill or you will be dinner for the wild beasts who make the jungle their home. Chicago and NYC as well as San Francisco are toast with office vacancies ranging from 30-69%, retail stores fleeing. All that is left are the shells of their once great edifices. .
Would the Founders call out the militia and march the anti-social uncivil marauders to the ships awaiting pier-side for transportation far far away from the USA?
Asking for friends.
It was only a White woman … Hardly anyone important
Where is the outrage?
Dr Fauci took it to his lab and put it under his high power Wuhan microscope. He said it could not be definitely identified, but you should wear a mask just to be on the safe side.
If you hink it’s bad now, ,just wait for a few years. until the effects of CRT kick in. Nothing like having millions of young predators hunting for you seeking revenge for all of their imagined suffering and injuries. The USA is doomed and there is nothing you can do about it except to end the travesty you call “democracy.”
