A pair of Chicago journalists were held up at gunpoint by three men wearing ski masks — while covering the spate of robberies and carjackings that plagued the Windy City over the weekend, according to local police and news outlets.
A Univision Chicago reporter and a cameraman were set to do a live shot in the upscale Wicker Park section at around 4:30 a.m. on Monday when a black SUV and a gray sedan pulled up alongside them, according to the news site CWBChicago.
The two male journalists — one 28 and the other 42 — were standing near the 1200 block of North Milwaukee Ave. when “three unknown male offenders exited the vehicles, wearing ski masks and displaying firearms,” Chicago police officials told The Post on Tuesday.
The thugs made off with their video camera before fleeing, cops said.

It’s like rain on your wedding day.
If they are like ours out here, they make no bones about

I’m surprised they didn’t try to interview the thugs and get their comments on being oppressed, and racially profiled, and denied their reparations...oh wait....
“were set to do a live shot in the upscale Wicker Park section at around 4:30 a.m.”
Yeah, they keep insisting Wicker Park is “upscale”, and there are some nice houses in the neighborhood, but there’s also a big public housing project like 2 blocks away, so it will always be a crime ridden s***hole after dark.
Somebody cue the sad trombone!
living the story
From the article, we at least know the co,or of the vehicles used by the robbers. As for the color of the robbers, we know that when the MSM omits their color, they are invariably black.
One of America’s finest journalists!
Second City Cop will have a very good take on this...
Just more children of Obeyme.
“Total irony”
I can’t think of anything useful that would come from having an interest in what is or may be “ironic”.
Won’t change their minds or reporting at all. They will continue to blindly spout the idiot mayor’s talking points.
Mayor Brandon Johnson will say the perps just need a hug.
She always brightened any scene
