By them riding in a limo says a lot about the situation. These were not teenagers out looking to jump on some White guys and steel their money or iPhone. I don't believe that they randomly picked someone to whoop on?

Given the nature of the area and my personal experience with lake view, there is more to the story.

Hopefully the truth will come out.
One of the family members of the men said there were racial words directed towards them.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised especially in that part of town

Four were arrested. Three were charged with Felony Mob Action and other charges. Only one was charged with Mob Action. Bonds range from $40K to $250K.

Exactly. And that job is selling advertising.

Not really.

Anyway, who cares. What is your specific issue with the reporting of this story?

Just noticed this in the Tribune article:

"Prosecutors said the men in the limousine bailed out of the car about 1:10 a.m, Sunday at Clark Street and Cornelia Avenue, just south of Wrigley Field, and began punching and kicking four other people- including an off-duty Chicago police officer- for no apparent reason. One victim suffered a fractured jaw."

Punching and kicking a Chicago police officer is not a good move, guys.

Why did they do that? I mean what was the agenda and reasoning behind the beating? Was it just random?
