There was another attack last night near Boystown: this time it was an off-duty fireman, beaten and robbed in Lincoln Park.
What’s really interesting to us is how the media is choosing to report on these attacks. There’s a much, much bigger story here they are refusing to report on…which seems to follow the Liberal Democrats’ agenda here, especially at a time when Mayor Daley is so desperately pushing to win the 2016 Olympics.
We believe the MSM is doing everything it can to not fully report on racism/homophobia in the black community directed against the LGBTQ community. In essence, it really feels like blacks have declared open hunting season on gays in Chicago. And the liberal media refuses to talk about this racism and deliberate targeting of Boystown by residents of the South Side and Humboldt Park.
The media’s getting less and less informative about these attacks.
(1) They try not to report the race of the attackers, so that they don’t have to admit it’s blacks from the Southside heading North to crack skulls and steal wallets.
(2) They keep saying the police do not think the cases are related. This is deceptive, because they are parsing what the police are most likely actually saying. We know a lot of cops. To cops, two cases are not “related” unless the same perp committed both. What’s happening here is that gangs of black thugs are coming to Boystown to rob gays. Today criminal A and criminal B could jump someone. Tomorrow criminal C and criminal D could make a hit. Friday, it could be criminals E, F, and G doing the robbing. When these people come to Boystown, loitering at the Center on Halsted first, it seems, they travel in packs of 15-20 people at times. Unless criminal A has been caught in two of the attacks, the police will say “it’s unrelated”. However, it is actually very MUCH related because while the individual criminals might be different every time, they are all related because these criminals are all black Southsiders heading north to commit crimes in Boystown.
(3) The media also plays games with geography to make these attacks seem like they really aren’t happening all in the same vacinity. And this is SO EASY to do in Chicago, where every neighborhood has 12 different names. ”Lincoln Park” is a huge area. It’s like referring to Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, and other states as “the Midwest”. It’s a big, loose term. In this example, if attacks happened in Akron, Cleveland, and Toledo, you could either say the attacks all happened in Ohio (Boystown) or they happened “in the Midwest”, which would make you think they were more spread out than they really were. Also, the media sometimes calls an area “Lakeview”, “Lincoln Park East”, “East Lakeview”, “Edgewater”, “northern Gold Coast”, “Wrigleyville”, etc. These are all essentially, give or take a street or two, the same place. It’s like saying “Cleveland” versus “Brookpark”, “Parma”, “Shaker Heights”, “East Cleveland”, “Euclid”, etc. in our Ohio/Midwest example. People who have no idea how close these areas are to one another might think these events are happening at random all over a great distance. In reality, the crimes are laser focused to hit the white, largely gay, upscale hunting grounds the Southsiders are targeting.
(4) This morning we ran into a friend who is a paramedic and said a few days ago he treated a gay man who was pushed down the stairs at the Armitage Brown Line station where three blacks from the Southside robbed him of his wallet and iPod. The only way the cops caught the guys was because the iPod was a gift and was inscribed “Happy Birthday” on the back. After his attack, the cops spotted 3-4 big black guys walking in “Lincoln Park” with a big bag. They searched the bag and found 22 iPods and a host of cell phones, all stolen. The “Happy Birthday” iPod was in the bag. None of the robbers ever have any ID on them, according to the paramedic. Sometimes these Southsiders go to the hospital for treatment when they are injured assaulting someone (like sharks who have their snouts ripped apart by the seals they’re hunting)…they deliberately don’t carry ID so they don’t have to pay the emergency room bill, but also so that the police can’t “relate” them to any other crimes. ”How did you get that gash on your face?”. They fell, they say. ”We have reports that there was an attempted robbery and the victim slashed his would-be attacker. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?”. Nope. Of course not.
A few years ago, a serial killer was working Boystown and the local media did the same thing that they’re doing now….they kept insisting the murders were unrelated. There were 4-5 guys who were killed in their apartments with every instance sounding like the same person did it: the guys were all in their late 30s-mid 40s…they were all picked up from bars in Boystown (where, incidentally, Jeffrey Dahmer used to drive down from Milwaukee to hunt)…they all lived alone with no roommates…they all brought someone home to their empty apartment with them…they were all murdered naked in their kitchens.
But the police insisted these murders were “unrelated”. Maybe in one instance the guy still had his underwear on…so that’s unrelated because the other victims were naked. Maybe another guy was killed in his dining room and not the kitchen…UNRELATED! Everything can be unrelated if you want it to be. Like sorting clothes into color piles, something can be red or it can be burgandy or scarlet or crimson. You can have as many piles as you want, or you can have a red pile that sees the bigger picture.
When it comes to black-on-gay crime, the media wants to have as many piles as possible because the Liberals who run the media do not want to admit there’s a serious and dangerous problem with black-against-white racism and homophobia in Chicago.
With another attack near Boystown every night, things feel like they are going to get a lot worse before they get better…and the puzzle pieces won’t come together to find a solution to this because the media is so Hell-bent to insist everything is as “unrelated” as possible.
While, in the meantime, gangs of young black thugs keep heading north to Boystown to hunt and prey upong gay men, stealing their iPods, taking their wallets, and declaring open season on the LGBTQ community.
And, because the LGBTQ community is Liberal central, it’s like sheep happily, and suicidally, agreeing with wolf propaganda that there’s no danger out there from wolves…that wolves are oppressed and misunderstood…that wolves aren’t coming north to prey upon the sheep.
Baaaaaaaa!
We’d love to tell you the LGBTQ community will wake up, but the serial killer working Boystown was never caught. Either he moved away, stopped for some other reason, or he’s still working and the media just got really, really good at covering up for him. But, he’s still out there.
And so are all the wolves on the Southside, stalking their prey.
UPDATE: Two more guys were beaten and robbed near Boystown. Read the report in the Tribune. Once again, they are pulling that crap where they say the police claim the beatings are “unrelated”, though in both of the two cases this report is on the victims describe the 5-6 attackers wearing the same clothes in both attacks. Also note the Tribune DOES NOT report the race of the attackers. They report the color tee shirt and pants the attackers are wearing, but not their race. That’s interesting. We wonder if they’d report the race if 5-6 white guys attacked two black men at different times on the Southside. What do you think?

I hope what I say comes out okay and not offensive to anyone. Perhaps the “black” thugs are taking a page out of Barack Obama’s playbook. Since he has admitted to studying islam (although he professes to not ever having been a muslim), he was not very interested in the Gay Rights parade here when he was running for president. He seems to not care about gay issues at all. Isn’t that a muslim thing? Didn’t the news report very recently violence against gays in Iran, as being gay is a no-no in muslim ideology. Since Obama doesn’t seem to care about gays (dumb trusting liberals who voted for him thought he would care) then is he sending a message to other blacks that it is okay not to like gays and they feel empowered to go after them? Just a thought.

You hit the nail squarely on the head Susan!
August 19, 2009 at 12:46 pm
While I agree with the piece, HB, ultimately Lincoln Park and Lakeview East are different demographically. I’ve heard stories from a lot of women that have been beaten/robbed in Lincoln Park; one woman I know was attacked and robbed at Deming/Orchard, right by Saint Clement Catholic Church.
Lots more college students, especially young women, going to the bars in Lincoln Park, as opposed to the gay, Lakeview East/Boystown crowd.
But yes — black-on-gay crime is rarely reported by the media.
August 19, 2009 at 1:00 pm
The crux of our interest in this is that Buzzquarters is so close to The Center on Halsted. We pass that building 12 times a day. We literally see, with our own eyes, all these thugs loitering in front of that building watching people walk by, in what appears to us to be looking for victims. They get LOUD, yell things at people trying to go to Whole Foods, run up to people with baby carriages and make noise to scare the babies, etc. All the loiterers are black. The people they are harassing are white…and 90% gay. They sit around in groups of 15-20 people, voguing on the street corner, making a scene, hooting and hollering and carrying on like lunatics.
And, we see them break off in groups of 3-4 and walk away from the Center down the sidesteets in the neighborhood….like Wilton, where one of the attacks was made today. We see them break off from the Center and walk down Halsted to veer off onto other sidestreets….the same streets other people are beaten.
WE SEE THIS EVERY DAY.
What we need to do is find a way to start taking pictures of all these people. But, the thing is, we haven’t figured out a way to do it so they couldn’t see us snapping the shots. There’s nowhere to hide and take candids….where they loiter, it’s all pretty open space so they could see someone photographing them, and we don’t want them running over to take our camera and beat the heck out of us.
Our friend Sebastian got robbed on Christmas Eve last year by 3 big black guys who beat the tar out of him and stole everything he had on him. And that was just 3 guys. This is 20, some really big. So, it’s scary to think about doing anything to draw their attention and put their bullseye on our backs.
But, something has got to be done to force the media to see the connection between these loiterers and the crime wave sweeping Boystown. It’s that damn Center on Halsted that’s to blame. Why can’t the big poo-bahs in charge see that?
August 19, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Oh, I hear you, HB. I just got off the phone with Ald. Tunney’s office (I live in the ward) and gave ‘em an earful. I got a lot of touchy-feely talk about being a “welcoming” community, but still “walking a tightrope.”
I told ‘em I pay a helluva lot of taxes to eat, shop, and live there — and I know the property owners pay a lot, too, and the last thing I want is some “outsider” coming in to bash some skulls.
Que sera sera. But I gave ‘em hell over it (and especially the Center!) The guy tried to mention how they’re working with all of these orgs and groups, and mentioned Helen Schiller (Uptown’s alderman). I told him he better not mention Schiller unless he wanted me to be really pissed.
Speaking of Schiller and Uptown, did you see this video/coverage of the big gang fight at Leland and Sheridan just a few days ago?
http://www.uptownupdate.com/2009/08/cbs-leads-with-uptown-violence.html
And Schiller wants to dump the low-income, high-occupancy “Wilson Yard” housing project right at Montrose/Broadway, and they’re building it at breakneck speed.
It’s not good.
August 19, 2009 at 3:03 pm
What is Montrose/Broadway?
Is it in “Boys Town?”
August 19, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Butters- Montrose/Broadway is in Uptown, north/northeast of Boystown, adjacent to Andersonville.
Uptown is an area that at one time was pretty affluent, judging by the architecture of some of the old buildings around there. It is where the Green Mill, Al Capone’s jazz bar is.
It’s a shame what schiller has done/hasn’t done to her ward, it could be something pretty special, given its proximity to Lake Michigan. Instead it is a pretty crappy neighborhood.
August 19, 2009 at 12:52 pm
The next step is to print the phone number of the closest police station in the area for DailyPUMA readers to call.
August 19, 2009 at 1:06 pm
That’s something we would never do — ask people to call the police station, just because the police get so many calls already and we would not want them to have to answer more calls…they have a tough job and do it the best they can.
It’s not the police that’s the problem, but the media and the local government in charge of seeing to it that the loitering statutes are enforced.
You do give us a good idea…and that would be to figure out who exactly in the local government and media needs pressure put on them to resolve this situation. Those are people it would be good to call. We need to do some research, get all the facts straight (like making a list of all the dates and descriptions of the robberies) and start compiling photos and evidence of our own to take to the officials to force them to do something about this.
We prefer when these activist bursts are things farther removed in another state and not so close, literally, to home so that we have to personally get involved on the ground. It’s kind of scary to be right here in the middle of this, knowing speaking out could make us victims too. But, like anything, if people are too afraid to do anything nothing will get done.
We just need to be smart about it. Think about an effective plan of action. And take all the precautions necessary so we’re not targeted by lunatics for speaking out. Forgive us for being this cautious after all that Dr. Utopia’s supporters did to us in 2008, but those scars have yet to heal.
August 19, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Uh, don’t any of the stores, let alone the “Center” have security surveillance cameras such as many retail stores have had for decades now?
August 19, 2009 at 6:26 pm
do you know anyone who could set up a camera and film it. I also heard a report about some police stations have access to armoured vehicle that has cameras that take film of an area –it sits in full view suppose to work- great deterrent against crime. check that out too………
August 19, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I say, throw it back into Dr. Zero’s lap. He is destroying his rep in the gay community as it is by vacillating his lying ass off trying to walk a tightrope. Gay political donors are noticing big time, and the milk from the Obama nipple is souring. Its his city, his urban community, get him to go community organize his scrawny little ass off back in chicago and expend some of that political capitol he supposedly has.
August 21, 2009 at 10:45 am
You guys are very good about organzing and persistence. You are right, you need to find the person to raise hell with and get them to do something about it. What are the gun laws in Illinois? Probably can’t defend yourself.
August 19, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Obama is on the down-low anyway, a typical self-hatred complex.
Maybe the gay community will begin, someday, to shed its far-leftist views and realize there are bad people out there and it takes violence of action to overcome them.
August 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Since Obama has been in office there has been an increase in this type of crime as well as black on white crime and Muslim on Jews/Christians.The media never reports the races or religion unless it is a white Christian/Jew person doing the crime against an African American.It seems that the black panthers can swing black jacks and intimidate voters at polling precincts but a white police officer doing his job can not arrest a belligerent and aggressive black man with out the president calling him stupid.Welcome to Obama’s America.I really fear for this country.
August 19, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Time to start carrying defensive weaponry, at least pepper spray/tear gas, and traveling in groups. The police are not doing their jobs, and neither is the news media. Big shocker on the second part, I know.
August 19, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I think there is one thing that you are all overlooking. Although I am not gay, I have very good long-time friends and relatives that should be as free to practice their own lifestyle as we all should!
If you REALLY read up on the beliefs of statist, totalitarian or Marxist regimes, you will notice that once the “masses” are “managed”, one of the first things those governments put into effect is to eliminate ANY and ALL that do not fit in with their idealized definition of a “useful” person in relationship to the “rulers”. The smoke-screen of support is mearly a means to an end. The means is to gain support but the end is to then enforce their beliefs and policies on EVERYONE by whatever means they deem necessary. Why do think the health-care czar Emmanuel believes that the elderly, physically or mentally imparied, or others that may not “contribute as much to society” as “required” are going to be deprived of appropriate care. Do you really believe that any person that is perceived to not be “useful” for whatever depraved reason will not be equally punished? Everyone has a right to believe what they want and to live their life in the manner that they deem best — or will you?
Thank about what Obama really stands for based upon what you know about him…after all, he is from Chicago as are the founders of this site. Has he really done anything for your community?…nor will he ever!
August 20, 2009 at 2:41 am
Hold on now, the city of Chicago has loads of surveillance cameras, so they can track down and mail tickets to people going one mile over the speed limit or running a light!
I’d call city hall and tell them they can make a bucket of money by catching traffic scafflaws if they would put up cameras at intersections a, b, c, and d.
August 20, 2009 at 10:05 am
I think that there is a storyline that the TPTB want to keep repeating so that Chicago can get the Olympics, and that’s that “crime is down” in the city. Yet, it’s fairly obvious to anyone living in the city that there’s more crime than ever right now. For example, by now, most people have seen the video of a gang fight breaking out on Sheridan Road last week. This sort of riot has actually happened more than once at that location. In fact, a few days later, three men were shot there. When questioned by the media, the police actually claimed that this wasn’t gang violence. Nothing to see here — it was just an altercation between homeless youths. BS — those of us who live here recognize the gang uniforms, and know too well that the area is ground zero for a drug war between rival gangs. That shows you how the CPD twist the facts around so they conform to their statistics, which need to show that crime is down.
We’ve formed neighborhood watches and, amongst other things, stand on street corners so that the criminals can’t. Boystown should do the same — protect yourself, because the City is no hurry to do the job.
