Four Charged in Racial Violence Mob Attack in Wrigleyville (Chicago: business, clothes)

[xavier xerxes]

Four kids with records and chips on their shoulders from the southside go to shoot a rap video in wrigleyville in a limo...... What could go wrong? If you go out looking for trouble you will find it.


(On the flipside)
Four kids from Frat House with records and chips on their shoulders from the northside rent a limo to film stupid stunts on the southside (lets say 47th street). What could go wrong?

Yes Race has SOMETHING to do with it, so does JUDGEMENT.....

It's funny how people like yourself know everything.

These are grown men coming to the Wrigleyville for business. What chip do they they have on their shoulder? They were not looking for trouble. They were filming a video. What part of that don't you understand?

I wouldn't call 30 year old men 'kids'. On the flip side, what did those white guys think was going to happen when they yelled out racial slurs? Sounds like people were looking for trouble all around.

The part where a grown man "not looking for trouble" administers a beating to a stranger who may not have even touched, let alone struck him.

That guy has a 1950's mentality that 'coloreds' should stay on their side of town.

Fixed it for you. Nobody really got their side of the story.

Anyway, a reasonable thing to expect when you yell rude things to someone is that they might yell back. Potential violence is not even a remote possibility if the other person is even the slightest bit civilized.

Yeah thats a good place to film a rap video, Wrigelyville where drunk obnoxious frat boys hangout. These guys also had rap sheets, so that USUALLY speaks to poor judgement.

Business? Yeah they werent looking for trouble? Rap videos in Wrigleyville go together like filming jack***** stunts in the hood go over.

I can picture it now, the fellas from jack@SS or whatever rip off band of hooligans decide to film a victory lap around 47th street, totally natural place to do that, some people on 47th yell racial slurs and then THEY HAVE TO REACT and a brawl ensues.... Shockingly the people from jack@ss or the rip off group of hooligans are then charged with assault and hauled off to jail.

Speaking of civilized, if their wasn't such a brutal history behind that word then it wouldn't have the same meaning that it does today.

I love it when white people claim to be so 'civilized'. It's like they don't know their own history.

Not quite so Black and White.
You have to use judgement. Wrigleyville has never struck me as a locale to film rap videos. There are usually a bunch of drunken fools there and drunken fools are well drunken fools, real idiots, so If you film a rap video where drunken fools hangout and yes these guys are kindof backwards, alot of them are in frats... there just might be a brawl

Are frat guys all bad? No. I was never was tempted ever to join one. Alot of backward suburban thinking and yes I think wrigleyville has suffered for the invasion of the frat types. Its still okay over there, but who in their right mind would travel to that location to film a rap video? WOW!!!!!

Some people just have no judgment.

What is this obsession with 47 Street?
