So a little more than an hour ago, I witnessed 6 teenagers run up on a man at the corner of Orchard and Deming in Lincoln Park and start hitting and harassing him. The man yelling caught my attention and they were talking a lot of smack to him saying things along the lines of "what are you gonna do about it? " -- prying for a response. I, along with a couple neighbors called CPD. They ran south down Orchard towards Fullerton screaming rape. Eventually the CPD caught 3 of the 6.

Just moving into the area, I've gotta ask: is this sort of stuff common in LP?

Crime happens everywhere. It is a lot less common in Lincoln Park, but it still happens.

It's interesting to look at the crime reports for Lincoln Park and Englewood. The first two HTML pages for Lincoln Park span the past two months. But the first two pages for Englewood only span the past 48 hours.

Of course that's the most extreme comparison you can make.

Just some good old fashioned wilding. Happens when the weather gets nice. Expect more of it along the beaches soon.

No, it's more than that, it's actually really disturbing.

That actually happened almost a month ago and no arrests have been made. It is a very unusual case.

Oh, you're right, one month ago.

Crime can happen anywhere but that's pretty rare for LP

Wow, first I've heard of this. Have they even said what happened?
Did he get in a fight?
Did he get mugged/hit with something?
Did he fall and hit his head?
