    Video captures man being attacked by 11 teens on the CTA

    CHICAGO - The brutal beating of a 68-year-old man by 11 teens on a CTA train here Monday was captured in a disturbing, graphic video obtained by Fox News.

    The Chicago Police Department told Fox News the beating is under investigation, but no one is in custody because the victim “was unable to identify his attacker(s) due to his injuries.” A police source told Fox that the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office “wouldn’t touch” the case if the victim can’t identify those accused or is unable to cooperate.


    When reached about prosecuting the case, state’s attorney's office responded: "We are unable to comment."

    The footage shows one of the female teens first trying to pickpocket the victim while he’s asleep. The man awakens, tries to fend off the teens, but the woman drags and beats the man.

    She then appears to run to another car, and returns with a group of teens including five men and two women. They surround the man seated on the train.

    One man pummels the victim, even lifting himself up on the train’s bars to repeatedly kick him in the upper body and face.

    The video also appears to show many bystanders failing to intervene.

    Police documents indicate the 68-year-old man was left to bleed on Chicago’s red line train. Train workers helped the man off at the Argyle station and authorities were able to interview him.

    He told police he fell asleep, then woke up to a group of teens surrounding him trying to pickpocket him. The victim said he told them, "don’t even think about it." The victim said he feared for his safety and swung at one of the teens, but missed then was beaten with “closed fists and foot strikes.”

    He was rushed to the hospital and treated for lacerations to the head and body soreness. Police documents indicate he suffered blunt force trauma.

    Police later picked up a group of teens near the Argyle train station, detained them and took reports. The teens were returned home.

    The Argyle station is on Chicago’s north side in the Uptown neighborhood, which is a few city blocks west of Chicago’s famed Montrose Beach. The station is nestled between notable nearby communities like Andersonville and Wrigleyville.

    A single witness is listed on the police report. Fox News has reached out to the witness and has not received comment.

    They won’t be charged despite the video because the victim could not identify the punks.

    If they killed him, he wouldn’t be able to identify them, but the video would show the murder.

    Welcome to a Democrat run City.

    You have to forgive these people and let me explain why. You see, trapped within their DNA are the horrors of being captured and sold by their own people. When that realization comes to the fore, the only way they can vent is by violently lashing out against the people who ever captured or sold them.

    As some sort of atonement, May we feature them in every tv commercial imaginable and let them win the Miss USA, Miss America and Miss Teen USA contests all in one year. I will, however, not mention that 6% of our population is inflicted with this horrible DNS defect and is need of a solution.

    Wow. Scary.

    I have never ridden the Red Line beyond Addison (where Wrigley is).

    It seems like the guy was sleeping on an empty train car.

    I hope the victim recovers fully from his injuries.

    I never ride CTA Trains at hours when there aren't many people around.

    Still, obviously, nothing can excuse that sort of criminally assaultive behavior.

    This is why I carry a HEATER everywhere I go. That's the way these Monsters operate, they travel around in Packs and attack the weakest victims they can find. Sooner or later someone's going to Ventilate these Punks.

    At that man's age you must carry and you must have made up your mind to fire into the heart at the first sign of trouble.

    Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six or burnt down to ashes.

    if he was beat that much, there had to be dna from the attackers on him, many may enter the system later, treat it like a rape and get the dna

    even if is a closed case for now, may be able to catch then in the future

    Mebbe if they only attacked those who are members of the party of slavery (cough :democrat: /cough), and still treat them as second class citizens. At least then it could be rationalized to some extent as a mitigating factor.

    Why not? You’d meet a lot of ideological brothers and sisters who vote for democrats.
    I like CTA, any time of the day. But I happen to be a big and tall white guy, so I don’t get much attention from aspiring poets and other outstanding members of democrat-voting community.

    It's strange.

    A foreign friend of mine is doing academic research on an automatic AI-based deep-learning Natural Language translation system -- it tries to 'learn' a foreign language by matching words and phrases in the language to video and photo images that accompany the words. So, for example, it could 'learn' French by associating the word 'voiture' with images using that word, matching those images with similar images and accompanying words in his own language, and guessing that 'voiture' means 'car' or 'automobile' (in his language).

    He said that if you restrict yourself to American mainstream media publications, that 'teen' always gets translated into his language's word for "Black young person"..

    Oh well.

    Since our Leftist friends are uncharacteristically silent here, let me supply what they're thinking:

    (1) This is the legacy of slavery.
    (2) This is what happens in a racist society which is prejudiced against young Black people.
    (3) White teenagers commit brutal crimes too.
    (4) Who knows the context here? Perhaps the old man called this young woman by a racial slur.
    (5) These young people probably tried and tried to get jobs, but were turned away by racist white employers. Desperate for money to feed their younger siblings and aged parents, they were forced to turn to crime.
    (6) This is what happens when you resist the just demand of Reparations. Elect a Democratic President and Congress, and this income transfer will happen peacefully.

    Sadly, he only paralyzed one of them. The rest are free to carry on, and vote for liberals.

    So what can we do about these animals that prey on innocent members of society and why is our society producing them?

    That is ridiculous. They were savage teens feeling powerful and pumped beating a man who couldn't effectively protect himself. Think "bully". Why do they do it? Because they can, risk for them getting repercussions is low and it's fun.

    A white person can never be an innocent member of society.
    Nothing happened there, move along.

    Liberals enable criminal activity in many ways. One way is they play the race card and excuse behavior like this or blame others and the system. It's not the fault of the parents or the teens that beat the old man, they tell us.

    Parenting and schooling need a huge upgrade in our society, otherwise, these problems just keep happening and get worse year after year.

    Let's give kudos to Fresh and AJ for both not falling into what we on the right see as a typical liberal response.

    This happened in Chicago so I don’t think Kim Foxx will investigate. However we can put red hats on these animals then have some LGBT celebrity fabricate a story of racism and blame Trump.
