Those arrests happened on the Magnificent Mile near North Michigan Avenue and East Erie Street between...

Just don't ride on the El!

The ridership is somewhat less than civilized.

I think the most disturbing part of the story is the following:

The 11 teens, all but one of whom are younger than 18, told police they had agreed on Twitter to meet downtown. It appeared that several of those arrested had not met in person before Saturday, authorities said. [emphasis added]

LOL! Dang dude. That’s alot of points. Hell, I’d stay there too if I had that many. Must have been hyatt I was thinking of but as far as pritzker (possibly our future sec. of comm)I wouldn’t support anything she is involved in.

Okay, I just checked and it is/was hyatt she was involved with. Not owns. On the board.

Roger that. But didn’t moochelle antoinette recently state that the young lady shot just after hearing king hussein was killed by a bunch of kids with an assault rifle? I mean, according to the anti’s, they are responsible for millions of youths being killed and wounded every year. (I think it was charlie rangle that said that.) I guess you can’t believe the press after all. LOL!

Good point. Anyone who has been stuck behind someone using a SNAP card to buy a grocery cart full of soda, chips and giant packs of ribs from the meat department knows they flash “Insufficient Funds” when the money’s gone.

All the boards on all the big companies are polyglots. Let’s face it, after a certain point in wealth, the rich are no longer are affected by their desired policies and decide to go for the running people’s lives with as much control as possible=liberal.

Yeah, too many points and too many nights. I am getting close to 3 million AA miles as well (also Platinum for life).

The same thing happens when you are behind them in casinos.

Good morning.

Anyone care to play “Guess The Skin Color”?

I'm guessing the Amish.

Hope you are doing well.

It's a good thing these lucky youngsters have all those free ObamaPhones. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to call 911 or get a job!

Just wait until they really want to get a mob together and have some fun!

If a real thinking person who actually desired to end this insanity in Filthydelphia/Chicago/LA etc, why wouldn’t they; ban all organizations that promote murder, and gangs that require the members to commit a felony as a requirement for admission?

Why wouldn’t they put anyone who committed a gun crime in prison for life?

The reason they don’t do it now is because RATs want the statistics to use as a manufactured crisis to leverage disarming the citizens, and other components of their “social engineering” agenda.

NY, Chicago and LA are at the bottom of a list of 90 districts regarding the prosecution of federal firearms violations.

Those arrests happened on the Magnificent Mile

I'd bet that the Magnificent Mile is not anywhere as magnificent as it was, say 40 or 50 years ago.

Probably. If this were Cleveland, I'd' say definitely.
