CHICAGO (CBS) – A mob of more than 20 teenagers descended on a trendy Wicker Park shop on Saturday and made off with more than $3,000 worth of jeans.
CBS 2′s Derrick Blakley reports the incident was caught on store surveillance cameras, and the owner posted the video on YouTube.
Luke Cho said he hopes the images help police find the robbers, or maybe even shame the parents of the teens enough that they’ll turn the kids in.
From the moment the teens started flooding in the door at Mildblend Supply Co. on Milwaukee Avenue around 6:40 p.m. Saturday, Cho knew something wasn’t right.

He didn’t build that......
Chicago values.
I guess Rahm is right; judging from this video, Chick-Fil-A most certainly does not represent Chitcago values.
Say What? Shame the parents? Hell the parents taught them everything they know about flash mobs and mob violence.
How long has Luke Cho lived in Chicago? A week or two? Jeesh!
0bama’s sons and daughters.........
The comments are rather vitriolic and rather understandable. No one in the media is being honest about the ethnic makeup of these flash mobs. That is guaranteed to result is an increase in harsh feelings towards the blacks. That may be part of the plan.
Now now don’t blame Mr. Cho. He can’t help it that he was raised with better morals and values.
Chicago is out?
Yes, Brazil got the 2016 games. It was announced back in 2009 or 2010.
Maybe too many were politically incorrect. It is obviously the store's fault for being located in the wrong 'hood.
“Hey whitey, what ya gunna do bout it?”
Even before viewing the Youtube clip, I made a bet with myself as to the melanin content of the perps.
In these cases, I never lose a bet...
Call me crazy but I think even the media is realizing that the mobs of black “youths” robbing at will is an embarrassing problem. That’s why they show these videos. They can’t quite admit the racial element but they don’t have to cause the videos do it or them.
...and, the news blurs the faces of these thugs? WTF?
I was being a wise guy. Here is the youtube of the stunned reaction from the CNN announcer=> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuE60mq0r1Q
If you don’t have Obamabucks you just takes it.
I have to respond with “LMAO” because I was about to add that to my previous answer.
Time to bring out the special teen jeans treated with small pox.
"Something isn't right."
eyep...you don’t remember Odungo and Chewie flying over to make a 5 minute pitch to favor C-town for 16?
Shame?
People have no shame these days. All they have is unearned self-esteem.
30 minutes for the cops to respond.
This is why I tell people don’t bother going to Chicago anymore.
“...and, the news blurs the faces of these thugs? WTF?”
Because they haven’t been charged? Since when do they blur faces of suspects? They always ask for the public’s help in apprehending thugs. I can’t believe this.
Here are 300 thugs storming a Walmart store in Florida last week...

I bet this inspirational example of social justice in action was planned by a community organizer.
What's with the plural? Little wonder they think their feral offspring are saints, aint none of em got a Father.
It aint a parent, it's the social recipient of the slave owners govt sanctioned check.
When you "own" another human being for profit. = The govt pays you to have cheeruns. = Slavery.
or maybe even shame the parents of the teens enough that they’ll turn the kids in.
It’s not funny, but I chuckled at that statement. There is no shame amongst the feral groups in this country.
If it was my store and this kind of shite starte up, I’d drop the security doors and call “Guido” to come up and ask a few questions of these tough guys, back in the back room...
to bad you can’t have a gun in Chicago..
You could protect your business.
The city should be on the hook for this. They have accepted the responsibility for this mans safety and the safety of his property by denying him the ability to.
The city has failed in their responsibility.
The delay in police response is a common thread in the “flash mob” epidemic. They just don’t want to confront the problem any more than the media wants to recognize it. If they had made arrests they would have to answer for claims of brutality and maybe start a bigger riot. Better to have the merchant take all the risks and loss. He’s a bloody capitalist anyhow.
I guess slave reparation legislation isn’t happening fast enough for some.
“A mob of more than 20 teenagers descended on a trendy Wicker Park shop on Saturday and made off with more than $3,000 worth of jeans. “
I don’t know what else you expect them to do? In all fairness, it’s the end of the month and the EBT cards don’t get recharged until the 1st of the month.
“trendy Wicker Park shop on Saturday and made off with more than $3,000 worth of jeans. “
Between 5 to 10 pairs of jeans?
After all, the president said it's OK.
Black kids stealing.
Unbelievable that these feral black flash mobs continue to vandalize and rob businesses.
The cops never seem to get there in time to catch any of them.
They are caught on security cameras but you never hear of any arrests.
WTH??
The cops don’t want to get there in time to catch them.
If Mr. Cho learned anything from this incident, it should be to get his ass out of Chicago now. If his life means anything to him.
20 reasons NOT to regulate public purchase of AR 15 and AK 47.
This is the Chicago version of a “back-to-school” sale.
Now that’s funny....you’re the best!
Even though the station probably can’t be charged, it is s if they are acting to help the robbers in their crimes.
Not just for 2016 but also 2020 since they are now in the stage where only 5 candidate cities are left and Chitown ain’t one of them. 2024 is the next shot for the summer games.
