Video-Man is brutally attacked from behind and robbed in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood by two thugs

Two assailants attacked a man from behind in a Bucktown alley in broad daylight Monday and the the whole thing was caught on camera. At 2:55 p.m., the 33-year-old victim was walking down an alley behind Damen Avenue at Dickens Avenue. Two attackers were trailing him over his shoulder. The attackers threw the man into a chain-link fence and knocked him to the ground. He could not see it was coming – but he did fight back.

The victim tried to escape as the two seemed to lunge for his backpack. At one point, the video shows one of the attackers falling against a row of garbage carts. The two attackers seem to shout, "Just let it go!" before grabbing the bag and possibly a cell phone and fleeing.

Chicago Police late Monday were still investigating the crime. There were no arrests to report.

These types of random violent muggings have been occurring for many years. It's just that now with all these security cameras up, they can now be seen by a larger audience.

From the Chicago Tribune-

Chicago homicides in 2023: 453 people slain (so far)

Bucktown is part of both the West Town and Logan Square community areas. West Town has had 1 homicide so far this year and Logan Square has also had one. Compare that to Austin which has had 35 homicides.

R11, I opened this thread just to find out what a " video-man" is. Honest to god. I thought, "does he sell videos in the alley? maybe he's a charming fixture of the neighborhood. 'Hey, video-man's out selling today!' " Imagine my disappointment when I realized I'd been taken in by misguided punctuation.

What really pisses me off is that all items that you could conceivably use for self-defense are illegal.

Once you attack me for no reason, I actually believe that you no longer have any rights and killing someone is perfectly justified. I wish that guy had found a brick and destroyed one or both of them.

by Anonymousreply 36September 27, 2023 3:06 AM

I wonder if the people in the car across the alley called 911.

If I am to have sympathy for this victim, I need to know if he voted for more crime / Johnson, or voted against it. If crime victims voted for a Johnson, then, hey, you literally voted for it.
