Teens Beat Couple in Chicago--Wife Loses Baby Due To Miscarriage

The Daily Mail reports: "Chicago woman loses unborn baby after she and husband were attacked on date night by '14 year-old boy and 17 year-old girl'." Actually they were attacked by a pack of teens, and the two that were charged were the only two not able to get away from the scene fast enough.

    A group of teens forced a woman to miscarry with a brutal attack after she and her husband dared to stray onto a Chicago street that the youths claimed as their own.

    The 41-year-old mother was returning home with her husband from a date night on Friday when they were surrounded by at least 10 young people in the city's notorious Streeterville neighborhood.

    The woman, who gave her name only as Nina, told Fox32 that she was pepper-sprayed in the face, kicked in the stomach and lost a clump of hair as her husband was held back by the mob.

    Police arrived at the scene and arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl. The pair were each charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and released pending court appearances.

It wasn't a robber. The couple told reporters: "They didn't steal anything. They said like, 'we own the street, we own the street. You can't just walk around prancing in your little dress'."

The race of the teens is not identified, but people commenting on both the Daily Mail and YouTube are confident that they were blacks and specifically criticize the media for not just saying so. 

    It's a good reminder to stay away from young blacks. Also, going back to my earlier posts on disparity of force--although it is not clear how many were actually attacking the couple--this could have easily been a situation where disparity of force could have come into play.
