I don’t feel any sympathy for anyone in Chicago. They vote for this crap year in and year out, so they get what they deserve. This Chicago area news crew was robbed at gunpoint in Chicago, while covering, an armed robbery. You people voted for Lori Lightfoot AND Brandon Johnson, this is what happens. Sorry, not sorry.
The armed robbery problem has become so bad in Chicago that armed robbers this morning robbed a TV news crew doing a story about an armed robbery in West Town.
That unbelievable development came as at least 30 people were robbed or carjacked during sprees between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
And, no, Chicago police have not announced any arrests in connection with the latest crime waves.
A reporter and photojournalist were preparing to do a live shot about the latest robbery spree when a holdup crew rolled up to them in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee shortly before 5 a.m.
Without identifying the victims as a news crew, a Chicago police spokesperson confirmed that a 28-year-old man and a 42-year-old man were outside in the 1200 block of North Milwaukee when a black SUV and a gray sedan pulled up around 4:53 a.m. Three men got out of the vehicles wearing ski masks and displaying guns.
They took the victims’ personal belongings, went into their work vehicle, and stole the station’s camera, a source familiar with the crime confirmed.
They are the second Chicago TV news unit to be robbed this month.
