Did you hear about the violent teen flash mob that took over Chicago's fanciest shopping area?

The end result of indoctrination in government schools and mass media that teaches "urban youths" that American society is racist, corrupt, unfair, and unworthy of compliance is the crumbling of civil order.  When a substantial group of young males (the segment of society most prone to acting out with violence) think they have no stake in the continuation of existing social and property relations, they are able to impose anarchy in local areas.  When enough people think and feel this way, the forces of order – police, and in extremis the National Guard – can be overwhelmed and powerless to stop the disorder.

This nightmare scenario is developing step by step.  The rise of social media enables the organization of what are now called "flash mobs" that can descend on targets and cause chaos.  Sometimes, targets are chosen for the lucrative looting opportunities.  That appears to be what happened last Saturday night on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, at the very heart of upscale shopping, dining, and residential life, the Water Tower Place, a multistory shopping mall at the base of a 74-story tower.

CWBChicago reports:

At least four people were injured and two arrests were made after a large group of teenagers went wild near Chicago's historic Water Tower on Saturday evening, according to police and witnesses.

Security at the Water Tower Place shopping mall reported the first sign of trouble around 8:20 p.m.  Fifty teenagers were said to be involved in a fight near the mall entrance at 845 North Michigan Avenue.

What the feral youth fail to consider is that the forces of order keep them safe from US.
Once the balloon goes up, it will be too late to reconsider.

Colin Flaherty’s book, White Girl Bleed a Lot documents the changes that have come over our society in terms of ignoring the violence against whites by blacks.You might find these quotes interesting: https://www.goodreads.com/w...

Or you might google “black mob attacks whites” and see how many hits you get. (107,000,000 results) and the MSM prefer to camouflage the issue by using words like “youths” to get around the problem. The above link has a number of references to black on white violence in Chicago so this not a new problem, but one which the MSM ignores.
