'The offenders then asked the victim, "What else you got?" (and) forced the victim to enter his security code to unlock the phone,' a police report obtained by The Chicago Tribune stated.

He must have seen the muggers - it’s a real mystery that there is no description of them.
There are many places around here where the cell signal is weak, and they don't work inside.
Dooby time is one possibility, although at that age I wanted privacy when I talked to my girlfriend. We didn't have cellphones back then, so the extension furthest way from the living room had to do. If I had a cellphone it would have been outside and down the block every time...
probably some lone wolf white guy who listens to talk radio, eh Rahm?
Actually there is Mayor 9.5 or kid wiped his phone clean and according to tracking was nowhere near where the alleged incident occured
bad drug deal....
Since the attackers were obviously Amish Mennonites they wouldn’t have said “What else you got?”. Must have been something like “Was hast du mehr?” Poor boy just misheard them.
Karma.

Wow! This diversity stuff really rocks!
Enjoy it Zach?
And funny how there's still no mention of the physical characteristics of the dudes.
Can anyone imagine this happening to Mayor Richard J. Daley’s brat Richard M. Daley?
He’d of found em and hung em, not that Richard M. Daley hasn’t deserved an ass whoopin or two. Still today.
He was a little premature with the fence. After the NYPD executions, he’ll want it sky high.
LOL he will just blame it on white privilege
I'll go you one better-several years ago a certain Democrat district leader in my parts was mugged by two black thugs when she was leaving her house. At a yearly Christmas party the subject of the mugging came up and believe it or not, this imbecile had the nerve to tell people:
"we really have to remember that black impoverishment, which causes black crime, is largely our own fault so there's no point in getting worked up over something that we probably caused" (not an exact quote, but close.
so the statement that liberalism is a mental disorder has a lot of tried and tested truths to it.
Years later this woman was engaged in a messy divorce where she accused her husband of battering her.
I wonder if she felt the beating(s) she received from her spouse were largely her own fault?
No doubt some “teabaggers” did it.
My money is on:
Dipstick kid of Mayor Tinkletoes regularly goes out back to blaze up. Cops regularly deliberately ignore said behavior. Local goons notice this behavior and take advantage.
My take on it was that someone had a message for TwinkleToes and made sure it got delivered.
He ain't popular, at all.
He’s white so he deserved it, doncha know?
” Kid, running away from home is usually a bad idea. In this case, its your wisest option.”
Yeah....
