Civilization Breaks Down on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile

Civilization is breaking down in moonbattery-addled Chicago, where several hundred “teenagers” (i.e., blacks) attacked the city’s upscale Magnificent Mile last weekend.

Fights broke out throughout the area. An old lady was knocked down. A tourist was battered and pushed under a horse carriage. A mob estimated at 300–400 laid siege to Water Tower Place, at the heart of the Magnificent Mile. The savages then attacked a Red Line station, “jumping turnstiles and beating on the kiosk.”

Fortunately, only four people were reported injured. Unfortunately, only two were arrested, one of them for throwing an unknown liquid substance in a police officer’s face.

Commentary from Thomas Lifson:

The end result of indoctrination in government schools and mass media that teaches “urban youths” that American society is racist, corrupt, unfair, and unworthy of compliance is the crumbling of civil order. When a substantial group of young males (the segment of society most prone to acting out with violence) think they have no stake in the continuation of existing social and property relations, they are able to impose anarchy in local areas. When enough people think and feel this way, the forces of order – police, and in extremis the National Guard – can be overwhelmed and powerless to stop the disorder.

He touches on another factor:

Meanwhile, Water Tower Place is dealing with its own issues regarding “youths” last month, issuing an abject apology for “racially profiling” a group of young African-American males who were behaving well.

Politically correct groveling encourages mayhem by signaling weakness and exacerbating a sense of entitlement.

But the most prominent cause of this escalating chaos is the welfare state, which breeds dysfunctional people like farm animals for their votes.

On a tip from Dragon’s Lair.
