But he was just fittin to turn his life around with the money he stole !!!!!!! He be entitled to other peoples money. Been doing that his whole life, why stop now

I find it offensive that they are referring to Travion as a boy. A boy is not vicious or notorious.

Rabid dogs are put to sleep. Why not “these” people?

Too bad the Kardashians aren’t available. They could stop these people always committing their crimes. Right black at you.

Just look at the first few stories on this site: Rape, Burglary, Robbery, Corruption. What do they have in common? Black Males between 17-40 yrs old. And you tell me we’re not supposed to profile because feelings might be hurt? F U!

You guys are hilarious. Just so you know there were 12 burglaries yesterday in chicago. 4 committed by blacks and 8 by whites. Of course you will only hear about the guys with the craziest mug shot. Don’t you get it. Todays news is entertainment. whats sad is that you guys didn’t make one comment on the college proffessor-child porn story. I guess reading about a old white male child porn/professor / pastor/ husband /father. is not relevent to you. or of the 33yr old WHITE Male COP who called in a bar fight to get out of a DUI. I wonder who he said was fighting that would make 12 squad cars rush to a bar where there was nothing going on. You can profile all you want we are used to it, It’s your time wasted.

These guys are hilarious? There’s nothing hilarious about any of this. But if you want to pretend that young, black males do not commit violent crimes at a far greater rate than others, you are simply clinging to a lie. The truth should not be suppressed for any reason. Grow up.

the crime is crime. What color a person is who does the crime should be irrelevent. I dont pretend anything. Yes black males commit more violent crimes and whites males commit more “white collar” crimes. I think we can both agree on that. but which crime directly affects you more. The politician stealing your job to give it to his brother. The stock, mortgage and loan shark that sucks money out of your account until that 401k is gone and what about the city of chicago that strong arms your tax refund. All of those things are happening right now. Why are you all not upset about those things that directly affect you. There are crooks in all races they just do it in different ways. This idiot harmed one person and was caught. The real crooks do it in broad daylight to thousands of people one fee at a time and you all let them because they look like you and your focus is on profiling us. That’s why you are hilarious. This city is great at catching poor black petty thieves. How about catching some real criminals. Is that grown enough for you?

You’re energetic with your fallacies, I will say that. “The city is great at catching poor, black petty thieves.” Are you talking about the guys in this article, who struck a woman in the face and stole her purse? Are you attempting to diminish the severity of this crime? “How about catching some real criminals.” The guys in this article aren’t real criminals? Do you think, perhaps, your envy of those who make more money than you is the cause of your inability to focus here? I think most people would agree that the guys in this article are “real” criminals. You’re trying to change the subject. Beat cops aren’t given the job of catching Bernie Madoffs. They are employed to protect people from the types of violent attacks detailed in this article.

PS. There are times when racial profiling makes perfect sense. The sad truth is that people like you would rather see a higher number of women get battered and robbed than for policies to be used that might hurt liberals’ feelings. You’d rather see innocent people hurt than allow cops (of all races) to use common sense.

Jim and FU take a deep breath and listen for a second. I was originally talking to your racist friends yard ape, Aglo and Just Axin who write racist comments everyday in these blogs. Now to answer your questions, I’m not minimizing the crime. Im simply saying those crimes happen in all neighborhoods and are committed by all racists. Jim i guarantee you that you will be ripped off by a politician before your wife or daughter is beaten or raped. FU, here is a “real” criminal to me. And by the way, I have no money envy I’m in the top 10%. My good friend owned about 40 properties and of course with the bubble he struggled. He bought a club for parties and special occassions. The city told him that it would take a month to give him his liquor liscense. He put 2 million into this club. 6 months later no liscense (because there was no “rush” payment) no people, no money. He was facing foreclosure on the majority of his properties. He became overwhelmed with stress and frustation and last month he commited suicide. Now to me that’s a crime. People in these “power positions” abuse it and thats why you have people out here robbing and killing they don’t know what else to do. Now I’m not defending them but I know that most people are followers and if there are crooks leading them or if there is a lack of leadership then you get crime. So if you truly want crime to decrease don’t spit hate in blogs. How about holding people in charge of your community accountable. How about going next door and meeting your neighbor. Start a block club. buy widget from a young sales man or when you see a young person dancing or sing or playing an instrument on the street give them a dollar and encourage them to keep working. FU I’m not trying to change the subject, just want you to see the Root of the problem.

Jim, FU-great job. Percy- Taken collectively, your statements above show that you’re probably not that bad of a guy, just misguided. Sure, the comments many of us make revolve around the many violent crimes committed by blacks. Do we not care about the old white guy who views child porn? Of course he should hang, but CBS took down those comments for some odd reason. One reason we comment more on the black crimes is because of it’s frequency. The media are not hiding the chinese kid who raped an old lady, because frankly, it is nonexistent. We also become upset because of the widespread denial of who the violent criminals are. You speak of profiling, but how can you blame us? If most of the violent crimes are being committed by black males between 17-40yrs old and they make up only what, 5, 6% of the population nationally, are we not justified in being more alert around that population? If 99% of those who have attempted to set off a bomb while on an airplane are middle eastern, should that be ignored? Would you have us just lower our heads while walking down the street so as not to offend?

sense the sensor block my last statement to YA. I will move my attention to just Axin your last comment was the best arguement I’ve seen you write, no thing racial, just facts and your honest opinion. Here is my opinion without bias. the media did show the chinese kid getting beat up by a group of chinese and white kids three weeks ago. think about this and how the media and the system is set up. when you were grewing up how many times did you witness a bar fight or a group of whites maybe you walking home drunk as hell falling all over the place. that typically happens every weekend the difference is. when whites do it they get kicked out their friends take them away to cool off and the party goes on. When a blacks fight at a bar the police are called and they are taken to jail and the whole party is shut down. Which factor of the fight determines a person now being a considered a criminal? Should things be ignored of course not. 90% of all serial killers are white males should we ignored that fact and treat all white males as law abiding citizens? JA, I truly hear you that you should be aware but you should be aware of all of your surroundings. When you focus on a small piece 5% of the population you miss that 1 person that you should have really been watching. Ask the teachers in the great suburb of cleveland, Ohio. Lastly, don’t put people in boxes, treat each person on their own merit.

Percy- Any media bias when it comes to race is that it would favor blacks. All the media outlets in Chgo favor blacks, in that there are times when the race is not reported as they are trying to be PC. You speak of “blacks disproportionally rotting in jail” You make it sound like a bad thing. I want whoever commits a violent crime to rot in jail. Nobody sought out blacks in order to fill the prisons. My comrades on this site and I are sick and tired that the disproportinate amount of blacks committing these crimes is not being addressed properly. Also, most black politicians support criminalizing drug use, so guess who’s also to blame? I’m not worried about the occasional bar fight. I’m concerned about family and friends dealing with the troubling violent crime problem in chgo. If white guys were going into the south and west sides and raping, robbing old black ladies, burglarizing homes, etc. it would be handled as hate crimes and make front page news. Go onto the website chicagonewsreport as they don’t play games with race. Further, if there is a serial killer, the FBI knows to look for a white male as the criminal, and that’s great. And I will take my chances focusing on the 5% that are most likely to rape, rob, steal, shoot.

Ah, Percy and Spook. I don’t think there is much more I may add to what my esteemed comrades have so eloquently elaborated upon other than you both are obviously a couple of………………………STUPID NI@@ERS!
