"That don't make any sense?!!"
Is that anything like being arrested for resisting arrest?

Relatives of four men arrested for allegedly attacking random people in Wrigleyville Sunday morning said the group was shooting a music video.
Family members said the group, which goes by the name Chicago Maverick, was shooting a video for a song called "Take a Sip." They said the group was being taunted by people on the street and was the target of racial epithets.
The comments came after a Cook County judge on Monday ordered Corry Simmons, 32, of the 1800 Block of South Ridgeway; Donald Robinson, 31, of the 1800 Block of South Ridgeway; and his cousin Edward Robinson, 31, of the 1800 Block of South Springfield Avenue held on $400,000 bonds on charges including felony mob action and aggravated battery.
A fourth man, Alvin Goffin, 32, of the 3600 Block of South Rhodes Avenue is being held on $250,000 bond on mob action charges.
The incident happened just after 1 a.m. Sunday. Police said the group jumped out of a white stretch limousine and started attacking people on the 3500 block of North Clark Street, a block from Wrigley Field, while someone else videotaped the attack from the inside the limo.
Three men, ages 22, 27 and 27, were injured, police said. One of the 27-year-old victims was treated for a broken jaw at Illinois Masonic Hospital. The others sustained minor injuries.
Police said an officer was slightly injured while taking one of the men into custody. Simmons was charged with resisting a police officer.
Police said four or five other men, including the person filming the incident, fled in the limo.
Police said there was no indication this was a racially motivated attack, but detectives said they are looking into all possibilities.
Racial epithets were being thrown, but the attack wasn’t racial in nature?
One of the beatees must have said Monday. Does anyone out there in Freeperland know where I can get a copy of the Urban Dictionary. I would prefer one that has been translated from the original ebonics. Gotta keep up with this, ya knoz.
I thought those videos required years to draw.... the old flip book machines are getting hard to find too.
Only one color is guilty of racial crimes.....
Is a beatee one who gets beat up, or is he one who keeps the beat in a music video?
Looks like ‘Chicago Maverick’ will be a one hit wonder.

“One of the beatees must have said Monday.”
Tru Dat
the group jumped out of a white stretch limousine and started attacking.... people
Q. What kind of people were attacked by these black men?
A. "Random" people
Police said there was no indication this was a racially motivated attack, but detectives said they are looking into all possibilities.
Call me crazy, but if the police are looking into the possibility that the attack was racially motivated, the victims must be white. (no matter how hard they try to avoid saying it in the article)
Note that it would not be excusable behavior for someone of any age, but it is even more disgusting that the thugs were all over the age of 30.
I don’t understand. These “musicians” were riding in their limo and a bunch of white racists yelled racially insensitive remarks at them?
How did they know they were black? Were the windows rolled down?
NBC Chicago - we need more information.
