And I thought this was a heavy dose of sarcasm?

Reality my friend. It has happened the last few times mobs of black kids have come up to this area. It will happen again. Citizens who live in this neighborhood need to help the police to take back our neighborhoods. Simple.

And BEFORE these thugs become more brazen.

Groups of more than 4-5? Otherwise known as every car of every train? Oh, but only the ones from the south. I guess that makes it more manageable. The south half of the Red Line is already going to be shut down for awhile, so I guess you'll just need to stop the Green and Orange, and all problems will be solved!

Yeah, because Freedom of Assembly isn't an important value upon which our nation was founded. I'm sure they didn't really mean to include that in the Constitution.

"These people," eh? Which people might those be?

Please, do not come "back to Chitown" from whatever stagnant backwater hellhole you currently occupy. Stay there.

It has to be that or trolling, right? Can there really be that much bigotry and stupidity in a single human being?

I like his plan. A group of friends isn't allowed on the CTA if they're, you know, coming from that part of town, or if they look like they might be. Good stuff.

Things like this happen when bad things happen, sorry. You know what? Most people that live up here give the benefit of the doubt but this has been happening too much.

Groups can be seen leaving stations. Not saying you stop them from doing anything but make them aware they are being watched.

I only know the area I live and where this mob crap has happened in the past.

Most assemblies are organized in this city anymore and are known by the city to prevent problems, etc. already.

These people are primarily black kids from the south side.

I take a balanced approach esp. since I used to work with juvenile criminals and hard core gang bangers years back.

If you are going to call just when you see a large group does that mean Psy gets thrown in the slammer for Gegnam style. Now if I see a pattern of a large group and then spontaneous fights break out sure call the cops.

But hey I get it you don't want em' in your nice area so calling the cops and them get pressured they will find other areas to congregate.

Since you asked me to correct you:

No. What I strongly implied (so strongly that I didn't really think this needed to be spelled out, but I'll to it just for you, because I care...) is that if a woman was scared of a group of teens, in Chicago, in relation to a story about "wildings" or whatever BS term we're calling them this month, she was probably white and the teens were probably back.

Only a moron would interpret that as meaning "of course a white person is going to be scared of a black person."

You, sir, are that moron. Congratulations. We'll have some parting gifts for you in the back.
