If it's true and they were mouthing off (esp w/racial epithets), I have no sympathy for the idiots, but I think it's still against the law to break someone's jaw for calling you names.

I'll wait to see these videos before I believe what is being said by the families. It still doesn't excuse them from getting out of the limo, if true, and physically attacking someone. That is animal behavior.

That may be true but so is hurling racial slurs at complete strangers. It's also quite stupid and dangerous.

No doubt, they are lucky they didn't get shot. I don't say anything negative to anyone I don't know. You never know who you are dealing with.

According to Chicago Breaking News after the alleged brawl they ran down the street terrorizing people; the guy who got his jaw broke was reportedly coming out of a pizza place.

It's still a crime even if people were shouting things at you. I don't care who you are. Does that excuse someone from shooting another person? "But judge, they were saying I was stupid!"

It's. Still. A. Crime. It didn't have to be done, even if they were provoked somehow. It's something called learning self control..people do it everyday. This sort of thing has happened to me, and I realized it was better to just leave and not start a fight.

Honestly, if this was the story, I don't have any sympathy for people saying terrible things to these guys and I don't have any sympathy for those who were arrested who violently acted out because of it.

I just read that these four were given bails ranging from $250,000 to $400,000. Beating up white people is expensive. If the same thing happened on the south or west sides there's no way that their bails would be set so high.

Running down the street terorizing people in lake view could mean a black man going for a morning jog. How where they terorizing people is the question? The media love playing the race card to non thinking and ignorant people. Many don't have enough brains to see that.

Or it could mean actually terrorizing them and punching people coming out of pizza stores in the back of the neck.

Who knows. Not you and not me.
