Chicago’s Zulu War: ‘The Cops Have Told Us They Aren’t Gonna Touch Them’

Posted on | September 1, 2018 | 3 Comments

 

A startling reality of life in Chicago is that gangs of black teenagers roam the streets randomly assaulting white people:

Chicago police today confirmed final charges filed against ten juveniles following two hours of chaos in Wrigleyville on Wednesday evening.
“It’s been a problem all summer,” a Clark Street merchant said this morning. “They’re kids. The cops have told us they aren’t gonna touch them. We can’t touch them. What can we do?” . . .
The mayhem began around 4:20 p.m. when six teens shoved boxes of candy into backpacks and ran from Walgreens, 3646 North Broadway, according to police. The boys then began selling the candy in outside of Wrigley Field as Wednesday’s afternoon game wrapped up, according to witnesses and social media video.
But the spree took a serious turn one hour later when 911 callers reported that “10 to 15 children” were surrounding and battering people in the 3500 block of North Clark Street around 5:35 p.m., police said.
One man was beaten up outside the Cubby Bear, 1060 West Addison. Police on the scene summoned an ambulance for the victim who was bleeding from his ear. Another victim was attacked by the group near Irish Oak, 3511 North Clark Street.
Around the same time, the mob stole merchandise from a smoke shop in the 3400 block of North Clark Street, according to police.
Police said a 35-year-old man who dialed 911 while following the group was threatened with physical harm by the youths. He backed off when confronted, but pressed assault charges after the teens were in custody.

These attacks took place near Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs baseball team. Click here to see videos showing some of the gang violence. In the first video, a teenager sucker-punches a woman outside a restaurant. You see that there are several muscular men — “door staff,” i.e., bouncers — outside the restaurant, as apparently this kind of security is necessary for the safety of restaurant patrons in the neighborhood. It reminded me of the British fighting off Zulus at Rourke’s Drift.

This is far from a rare occurrence in the city. The Chicago Sun-Times has spoken of “the annual summer wilding problem.” Evidently, these random attacks on white people by swarms of black teenagers happen routinely, and a Chicago police officer says department policy prohibits them from taking effective preventive measures: “All we’re allowed to do now is ‘herd’ them toward [Chicago Transit Authority] stations.”

WBBM-TV reports: “Nearby store owners and workers, who refused to talk on camera, said this type of violence is more common than people realize, adding some groups see the traffic [around] a Cubs game, not as a gathering for baseball, but as an opportunity to rob and victimize others.”

Thomas Lifson observed earlier this year at American Thinker: “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.” As Labor Day weekend brings summer to a close, Chicago has experienced nearly 200 homicides since Memorial Day weekend, plus more than 900 wounded, with the city’s total homicides for the year nearing 400.
