"Wilding" violent mobs in Chicago

http://www.policymic.com/articles/31...wntown-chicago

It's a good thing Illinois has such strict gun laws to protect these miscreants from law-abiding citizens.

This one perhaps standing alone..
most of the reports of these wilding mobs you would not be justified in shooting anyone.
Most of the time they basically ransack stores overwelming any "security"

Fuckin' teenagers. I didn't like kids even when I was one...

Gotta give em an A for the intelligence of figuring out that if you attack as a group the odds of arrest/ capture go way down .

Bullshit. Robbery especially in a mob situation can be determined to be a use of deadly force. Good thing a soon to be 15 rounds may inflict less damage to the misunderstood yuts.
You going to stand in your business as 10-20+ people smash windows, start vandalizing the place and do nothing ???

MO for business robbery, usually clothing stores are selected, and 50-100 teenagers all enter the store at once, ransack it, and are gone within 15 minutes.

you mean like what was happening in Denver a few years ago but the local news wouldn't report it? [MOD EDIT: Feeding the trolls]

I love those Chicago values Rahm talks about--luckily they don't have a Chik-fil-A bringing them down.

This happened right after the Trayvon Martin thing.
Guess a bunch a kids from his school decided it was the best way to show support... Ransacked a Walgreens.

Actually, there's a big difference. With the 16th St Mall beatings, those were actual gang members, and there were usually less than a dozen of them. The "Flash Riot" thing is mostly non-gang members, who often do not even know each other very well, and are connecting via social networking on their smart phones.

Hopefully the store owners get ars with beta mags and put a stop to this.

IIRC, the LoDo incidents last year weren't attributed to gang-related violence, [MOD EDIT: Feeding the trolls]
Still, this is yet another reason I don't go ANYWHERE unarmed. You just never know.
