Mob Actions in Chicago

The latest mayhem in Chicago saw hundreds of youth loot a 7-Eleven in the city’s South Loop. Fighting raged in the streets. Forty people were arrested and 37 of them were juveniles.

Mayor Johnson handled this latest event just as he’s done in the past – by justifying youth violence. He in particular challenged a reporter who called the mayhem a “mob action.”

Johnson’s excuses and the media’s use of terms like “teen takeover” and “youth gatherings” for what are violent events only serves to trivialize the real danger they pose to law-abiding citizens.
