Two visitors to Chicago received a rude welcome to the city Friday when one was robbed by a group of city teens and the other was punched while trying to help, officials said.

The city’s a hell hole, that’s why I’m planning my exit. Hopefully I get a new job in the burbs and move to Wisconsin.

Another senseless black on white crime that happens far more often than “white” hispanic on black crime, but who would know that with all the reporting lately on “Saint” Trayvon Martin.

“He just kept saying, ‘We didn’t take your phone, you white b———, leave us alone,’ ‘’ said Tammy.

“I don’t think it was racial. I just think they targeted anyone whose phone they could get.’’

From the article. Amazing how the sheeple have been programmed not to call anything racial.

The victim is called a “white bitch” yet thinks the attack was not racial. She sure is paying attention during class at PC High. Could also be that the Trib reporter is putting words in her mouth.
This is how that goes:
VICTIM: SHE CALLED ME A “WHITE BITCH”
reporter: Yes , but are you sure that was racial. Sentence delivered in a tone that suggests victim was overreacting. At 15, victim gets the message and says no, it wasn't racial.

also the word “ruckus” puts a sugar coating on the entire affair as a “disturbance” rather than what it was. A gang robbery and assault.

Belated kudos to the officers of the law.

I read through more carefully for a second time. Not to forget the young woman who took a chance in aiding the older woman.
