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

Posted on 05/29/2018 6:56:50 AM PDT by Hojczyk

“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.

That’s because the MSM are subversive propaganda BS artists of the dark state traitors. Prosecute treason.

We can’t have people associating Democrats with what goes on in the cities they control, can we?

Armed citizens is the only way to tame a wild place.

Of course Democrats are against that.

They want anarchy.

Mobs is a euphemism for democrats.

Boy that would be fantastic if it happened in my Italian neighborhood :-) Glocks and bats abound. I know we don’t have the Firepower that you guys have in the Midwest and South, so it would be more of a Hands-On thing. But it would still be just as fun.

You can narrow that down a little more but not here I guess. It’s impolite to say.

The Chicago media were hyping the presence of an additional 1,000 cops on the streets for the Memorial Day weekend. I guess that didn’t solve anything.

I did not hear about the Water Tower incident. That’s some VERY expensive real estate in that area. Rahm wouldn’t want that news to travel too far outside of the city.

Gangsta’s Paradise
Coolio
Featuring L.V.

Produced by Doug Rasheed
Album Gangsta’s Paradise
Verified commentary by
Paul Stewart

[Recording Info]

[Verse 1: Coolio]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left
‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you talkin’ and where you walkin’
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool, I’m the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin’ prayers in the streetlight

[Hook 1: LV]
Keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spendin’ most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise

[Verse 2: Coolio]
Look at the situation they got me facin’
I can’t live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin’ got me chasin’ dreams
I’m a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a loc’d out gangsta, set trippin’ banger
And my homies are down so don’t arouse my anger
Fool, death ain’t nothin’ but a heart beat away
I’m livin’ life do or die, what can I say?
I’m 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
The way things is goin’ I don’t know

[Hook 2: LV]
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?

[Hook 1: LV]
Keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spendin’ most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise

[Verse 3: Coolio]
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody’s runnin’, but half of them ain’t lookin’
It’s goin’ on in the kitchen, but I don’t know what’s cookin’
They say I gotta learn, but nobody’s here to teach me
If they can’t understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can’t, I guess they won’t
I guess they front; that’s why I know my life is out of luck, fool!

[Hook 1: LV]
Keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spendin’ most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spendin’ most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise

[Hook 2: LV]
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?

So mobs are running wild in Chicago. But that's nothing compared to what's happening in the countryside.

Am I the only one who can never get the comment section on American Thinker to open? As much as I enjoy the comments here I would like to see what readers of AT are saying. All I get is the running slow reload message.

“Wilding”

Fake Koeppel (what s screwball) amplified term. The gangstas were playing off the Tone Loc tune of that era...

Ear candy for the feral collectives.

Hot town, summer in the city...

The City of Chicago finally tamed the Cabrini-Green housing project by removing the police entirely ... and hiring the Nation of Islam as the security force.

It was very peaceful for a while, but it came to an end after an incident where the security staff caught a guy breaking into a elderly woman's apartment. The police were called, and they found the guy stripped naked and chained in the basement of one of the buildings, getting flogged with whips by some well-dressed black dudes with shaved heads.

The Chicago media is so far in the bag with Mayor Rahm that everyday in Chicago is perfect. Every news conference the Mayor is bragging about another great accomplishment he brings to the city. Never a bad word. Rahm still thinks Amazon is moving their HQ to Chicago!

That Rahm Emmanual quote, “Never let a crisis go to waste ...”) is basically a rephrasing of something from Game of Thrones. The Peytr Baelish character says, “Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder.”

Baelish introduces as much chaos as possible, because he is (was) a man with ambitions.
