I'd say 50% is high...more like 10-20% (at least in CBOT/south loop area). Lots of construction workers, though.

He has insurance, he'll be fine.

I can only imagine the amount of rioting if that had been 8 white kids dragging a black guy out of his car.

It's embarrassing that we have to pretend when the perps are black. If you wonder why there are going to be 100 murders in the city this month it's because of 1984 type behavior. Nas will throw a fit and complain, but don't forget that he has no idea what he's talking about 90 percent of the time. So he has to pretend and claim outrage.

Pro tip: When JLN admits something is racist, it probably is. It passes the highest of standards.

Take your drunken rambling Hitler Youth act somewhere else.

This is true. Now 200 murders, THAT would be out of control.

Where was the national media attention to this story?

Does BLM apply to those people---criminals at 11.00 a.m. on a Sunday assaulting an 82 yr. man inside his car and then hijacking his car?

Perfect reason for an 82 year old man packing a hand cannon.

that sums it up perfectly, so true.

I still remember when back in March when a cop pulled up next to me at Dundee and Landwher and asked me if there was any reason I was driving so fast and running red lights. I said no, there wasn't. She then asked me to please stop.


Corona + white privilege was a powerful feeling back then.

**************************
Loop: Man stabbed outside riverfront hotel overnight

A man is in serious condition after being stabbed outside a Loop hotel overnight. It’s the latest in a 10-day wave of violent crimes along Wacker Drive that sources have said is connected to large parties at nearby hotels.

Police said two groups of men got into an argument that turned violent outside the Swissotel, 323 East Wacker, around 2:49 a.m. During the brawl, an offender stabbed the 19-year-old victim in the abdomen, according to police.

An ambulance transported the injured man to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.

Witnesses reported seeing a group of five people walk into the Swissotel after the stabbing. Other participants in the fight went into a nearby parking garage. No arrests have been made.

Police responded to at least two calls of arguments and disturbances near the hotel between 2 a.m. and the time of the stabbing, according to dispatch records.

CPD sources have said hotel rates in the downtown area, driven to rock-bottom prices during the COVID-19 pandemic, are sparking large hotel parties. Hotel rooms at leading downtown hotels are being sold for as little as $79 for accommodations that drew rates of over $300 a night last summer, according to hospitality workers who spoke with CWBChicago.

The downtown violence spree began on July 19 when a man was killed and a woman injured in a double shooting on the Wabash Bridge. Police released a video of the incident that clearly shows a significant CPD presence was deployed to Wacker Drive at the time of the shooting.


Another man was shot just south of the Wabash Bridge on Saturday. Prosecutors charged a friend of that victim with shooting at the gunman as he ran from the scene.

On Sunday, July 26, another man was shot as he sat in a car near Wacker and Columbus drives, less than a block from the Swissotel. Shortly after the shooting, police arrested a man who was allegedly carrying a gun with an extended magazine near the LondonHouse hotel, about three blocks away.

In addition to the violence along the river, another man was critically wounded in a shooting near the W Chicago Lakeshore hotel in Streeterville on Sunday.

This is what happens when someone has zero response to actual facts. Do you have any evidence to counter anything I've said?

The national media used evidence of 50 idiots marching in Charlottesville as an evidence of that white supremacy was lurking behind every corner. Here are multiple brazen examples of black mob violence in Chicago. Since we are in a major national debate about police interactions with black people perhaps we can finally be honest about the violent crime rate, and that maybe everything is not a racist conspiracy.

I stayed at The Drake for my anniversary a few weeks ago. The clientele looked like something you would see waiting in line for an off hour flight to Florida on Southwest. Suns out, guns out crowd.

I'm back to bicycle commuting to work and travel through RN and Loop. Definitely see this happening. Pre-COVID the guests waiting in front of hotels or walking in were business travelers or old boomers. Now it's primarily young people.

I went to Gibson's a few years ago and was surprised to see attire of the guests. Very similar vibe.

My sister stayed at the Drake a couple of days in 1990, it seemed ratty and kinda rundown back then as well

Stayed there on our wedding night and 10th anniversary as well.

Just checked room prices. Shocked at how cheap they are.

The Palmer House is still basically good if you don't pick the absolute cheapest room type or use one of the third party booking services. They have a wide variety of room sizes, so if you don't know better you can get a glorified broom closet.

For my colleagues who are Hilton-loyal, it is their favorite property south of the river.
