So, it's quite fitting that a reporter who was simply attempting to cover a recent robbery was actually held at gunpoint while trying to film.
From CWB Chicago:
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, adding that the victims were working for Univision.
They are the second Chicago TV news unit to be robbed this month.
How pathetic is it that the Chicago police have not made any arrests? This is what happens when you slash $80 million from your police force, folks.
This crime-riddled environment has unfortunately become the norm in many Democrat-run cities.
