Mob of Teens Reportedly Steals $3,000 Worth of ‘Nudie’ Jeans From Chicago Store

Flash Mob Hits Chicago to Steal $3,000 Worth of Nudie Jeans After Rahm Emanuel Lectures Country on Chicago Values Over Chick Fil A

(Photo: YouTube)

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been talking a lot about “Chicago values” recently, saying, for instance, that they are not in line with Chick-Fil-A because the company’s president believes in traditional marriage.

Earlier this month, in a heartfelt plea to clean up the city, Emanuel told the city’s “gang bangers” to “take [their] stuff to the alley” and to “stay away from the kids.”

“And it is about values,” Emaneul elaborated. “Who raised you? How were you raised? And I don’t buy this case where people say they don’t have values. They do have values– they have the wrong values.”

But what happens when the city’s teenagers are contributing to the crime rate? How do flash-mobs factor into “Chicago values”?

CBS Chicago has video of a recent looting in a Chicago neighborhood:

Here is more information, via CBS Chicago:

From the moment the teens started flooding in the door at Mildblend Supply Co. on Milwaukee Avenue around 6:40 p.m. Saturday, [store owner Luke Cho] knew something wasn’t right.

You see a group a group of teenagers walking in – or marching in – one-by-one. As you can see, it looks like it’s some kind of procession,” Cho said while reviewing the surveillance video on Sunday.

To Cho, it looked like a flash mob was about to rob the store, so he immediately locked the door.

“At least I think I kind of maybe stopped the flow a little bit, but I quickly realized something bad’s about to happen, and I alerted my staff to call 911,” Cho said.

Most of the group flocked to an corner of the store right beneath a security camera, and appeared to know exactly what they were looking for: an exclusive, expensive brand of jeans called Nudie Jeans, which average about $200 a pair. [Emphasis added]

Cho uploaded the store’s security footage to YouTube in an effort to help nab the perpetrators:

The store’s owner said that after he locked up the store, more people outside started banging on the door, presumably in an effort to get in. However, it’s difficult to know how aggressive they were without sound for the security footage.

Based on his experience, Cho predicts such “flash” robberies are likely to become more common.

“I think if they zero in on a product they want to steal, they’re going to go anywhere, and basically organize, and plan it to hit what they want,” he explained.

To top it all off, it reportedly took police about 30 minutes to arrive after Cho placed the 911 call.

Officers said they were delayed by the many street closures for Wicker Park Fest and, though they’re investigating the robbery, there were no arrests as of Sunday afternoon.

I don’t like to work, I’m lazy. But hey, you have it, I want it and I’m going to take it. It’s Obama’s plan on sharing the wealth. You didn’t earn it, we helped you get it. So, we want our share…It’s really sad but this is also the Chicago way now and becoming the american way.

People disillusioned with reality who want to live the MTV cribs life. If you can’t be rich I guess you dress the part and pretend.

@JohnLarson – It’s because, as you put it, rednecks, are happy with their frugality as opposed to their urban counterparts that are materialistic beyond belief.

My friends… the good thing is that most of these filthy animals will probably end up being shot and killed on the streets of Chicago… and the sooner the better!…

Post-Racialism, the Rise in Black Crime, and Election 2012

There is a sinister racial campaign in progress in our country today. As per usual, just discussing that effort will be deemed racist by black agitators who have successfully created an atmosphere of fear of being accused of racism in white America.

C’est la vie. Always consider the source.

Though they’re closely related, I’m not directly referring to Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign for re-election to the presidency nor to Democrat campaigns for various local and national offices but to their combined efforts to cover up the extent of black crime in the United States and to conceal their concerted attempts to persuade the majority of Americans that a minority is better equiped to deal with America’s problems.

Barack Hussein Obama won the highest office in the land by appealing to white voters largely on the basis that he would effect change in America’s often-strained race relations with the hope that, combined with a lock on the African-American, homosexual, Hispanic, and labor union constituencies, he could gain sufficient support from whites to defeat the lackluster John McCain.

Integral to his appeal were Obama’s calculated suggestions that his election would herald a post-racial nation, a theme he often repeated and which was frequently touted by his mainstream media. For example, the day after he and Joe Biden receiv

This is the result of non-traditional families. Fatherless homes. Welfare mentality women with too many boyfriends fathering their children. It’s so tragic for them and America. What happens to the next generation. What happens to this country. We seem to get used to everything and I guess we’re gonna get used to this too.

How come The Blaze only shows black people doing stupid things and not rednecks as well?

There’s plenty to choose from… but every other story here shows embarrassing black people news. It’s like Stormfront.

Off topic, kinda;
If one were to check most large city newspapers they would find that black on white crime has doubled in the last 3 years. There is a silent one sided race war going on in America today and the MSM is not allowing it to be told. They are not hiding it, as much as not tellig about it. Do some research and know the danger you may be in.

If the Chicago cops don’t bust these uneducated disrespectful thieves then the cops are just as bad!
Clear video and good chance they all go to the same school. Most look like athletes…possibly football team this time of year.

chicago values are to kill each other like savages, steal don’t work, and attack pro-family policies that promote cultural stability.

Congrats Rahm Emanuel for fighting so hard for pro-sodomy values, while condemning Christian values and promoting lawlessness in the cesspool known as chicago. Your misguided priorities and ineptitude toward evil is literally killing your citizens while enslaving new generations to government dependency…

Well, I guess I would not want to open a business in Chicago. Of course, I would not be doing it anyway, it would be due to someone else, according to Bammy. Flash mobs are a SO New Age DEMOCRAT thing.

Thanks to the NEA, the Democrat Party and the Liberal Courts for this, by the way. Also, honorable mention goes to the NAACP and the ACLU and the mainstream press, such as ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN.

If the shop owner had a AR-15 with a 100 round clip, a shotgun, and two pistols I am betting not one 1 dollar with of jeans would have left that store.

We need more guns!

  The one thing that WOULD have left the store would be the store owner under arrest. He would be prosecuted by the City, the State and the Feds.
  
  After all, they were ” just kids” and this is “just a property crime” and he would be expected to file an insurance claim and try to claim the loss on his taxes.
  
  If it were me, I would close the store and give up the license and relocate to a Red State with pro-gun laws and let the punks of Chicago learn to make loincloths out of what they could find just like the ancestors they came from.

  There is very simple fix – Once the flash mob enters the store. All employee and Customers exit the rear and lock the mob in the place of Business. Load Speakers go off announcing, Your Locked In, Camera’s are rolling, and the Police are on their way – any damage to the store will be added to your charges. Please stay calm. Fools!

  If you’re running a business and you see a swarm of black youths march into your store like army ants and you aren’t fine with it…….well then you’re a racist. I mean, look how great this turned out. The business only lost a few thousand dollars. No big deal. After all, you owe it to them for slavery.
