The first hot weekend brings violent mobs to Chicago streets as media turn a blind eye
American Thinker ^ | May 29,2018 | Thomas Lifson

“Wilding” is the term for mobs of violent young people taking over upscale neighborhoods and wreaking havoc, looting, mugging and attacking innocent people just for the fun of it. A “good” neighborhood is no guarantee of safety anymore in Chicago. The breakdown of civil order, in other words, is well underway in the Windy City. Bit by bit, civilization is slipping away in Chicago.

But if you want to know how bad things have gotten there, the major media outlets are no help. The last thing they want is for people to stay away from The Mag Mile – the stretch of Michigan Avenue just north of the Chicago River – full of glittering shopping, towering condo buildings and hotels, and the iconic Water Tower that is Chicago’s rival to Fifth Avenue around the Trump Tower. You have to go to Second City Cop and CWB Chicago, two grass roots websites that are not afraid of alienating big advertisers or of a phone call from City Hall.

8:22PM — “Mayhem,” says the downtown police dispatcher, taking a few brief seconds to summarize what she and Chicago cops are dealing with.

8:26PM — Lakeview: Officers call for backup. Fifteen to 20 people are beating up a boy who tried to prevent them from stealing a bike at the Lane Tech High School Memorial Day carnival. Story here.

8:39PM — 70 or 80 teens coming off the Chicago Red Line. “Tell Water Tower to close their doors; otherwise, they gotta let ‘em in.”

8:42PM — Fights behind the historic Water Tower. Crowd: 200 people, per dispatcher.

8:45PM — “Water Tower is closed. There’s one door open so people can exit.”

8:46PM — Cop: “Got a large fight on Pearson just east of Michigan.” “Have Water Tower lock their doors.

Hopefully Amazon falls for it.

A wilding mob in their HQ would be a true teaching moment.

Just a matter of time before Chicago looks just like Detoilit.

Wilding"

First heard that term right after the Central Park Jogger Assault and Rape. Supposedly it is what the ferals called the activity. Previously, bands of ferals roaming the city committing mayhem had been referred to as "Wolf Packs" by the press. I guess the wolves objected to that so the media jumped on the new term.

So grateful to live in the country where the neighbors are good people, it’s safe & going into town is a wonderful experience. I feel so sorry for hard working people who can’t enjoy life due to violence. Just an awful way to live.

This makes no sense.

Here is a video from May 8th detailing a previous incident:

According to the video, this isnt the first time it has happened at this location.

But the CPD just acts like they have no idea this is an area repeatedly targeted?

No, no, no.....not bats....rebar. More effective and more easily concealed.

It’s going to be a long, hot and bloody summer in Chi-town.

Yup...Chicago following Detroit’s example. I expect the final result will be similar.

“It’s going to be a long, hot and bloody summer in Chi-town.”

And it will continue until the murder rate exceeds the birth rate. Despite all the abortion in “certain precincts,” they seem to be able to “backfill” with “new blood” at a rate that keeps the killing going at more or less a “stable rate!” Maybe Chicago would be better served if they passed out free guns on the South Side.

As long as Chicago white liberals don’t fall victim to Chicago hood thugs, no one cares.

When it hurts the Windy City’s media image, only then there will be action.

Its about keeping up appearances.

I’m just curious as to how these shops stay in business. It seems like shoppers would stay away in droves.

A mall I used to love in Memphis became so unsafe I stopped going long ago. Outdoor mall when it’s raining!

Obama’s accepted home & Oprah’s home.

No wonder Oprah spends so much time in Santa Barbara.

That Rahm Emmanual quote, “Never let a crisis go to waste ...”) is basically a rephrasing of something from Game of Thrones.

Um, it's older than a TV show, I think. "Ex Chaos facultas"

Some reporter probably asked one of the kids what was going on and he said “Yo Yo We doin’ da whil’ ting!”, and they took it down as “wilding”.
