I have written previously on the attack of youth mobs rampaging on the streets (See here, here, and here.). I’m afraid that some readers might have written off these youth melees as “isolated incidents.” Besides, it’s easy to forget, and because these outbreaks have an ugly racial component of black-on-white crime, the media and government officials would prefer to look the other way and sweep these attacks under the rug. Write-ups typically feature amorphous, non-racial “youths” and downplay any violent assaults or the sheer terror experienced by innocents caught in the middle of a feeding frenzy.

The latest incident occurred in Chicago. According to one witness, “You had a group of teens, close to maybe 500. They assaulted a Chicago police officer that was on a mounted on a horse and all of a sudden they assaulted a citizen walking the streets, just a normal citizen shopping and enjoying the weather,” said Holmes.

Later that night, a man was attacked around 10:45 p.m. while walking near Chicago and Dearborn. Sources tell us he was jumped and punched in the face by a group of teens. He was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. In a separate incident, a group of woman say they were attacked by a mob of girls on the CTA Red Line. The women reported a robbery once they got off the train at the State and Monroe station. Eleven females were arrested—10 juveniles and one adult—and charged with battery. Two of the teens were charged with strong- armed robbery.”

In the same timeframe, a group of African-American girls attacked a white female.

“This girl started blowing smoke in my face, and she flicked her cigarette ashes at me,” said the woman. “I said: ‘You need to put that out,’ and the next thing I know there’s all these girls that jumped on top of us.”

They began punching her face and then went for her hair. She believes they had knives or box cutters, and padlocks possibly placed inside socks.

“I put my head down between my legs so they would stop beating me in the face, but they were trying to pull my face up and hit me more,” she said. “They ripped out chunks of my hair, and I’ve got a black eye and bruises on my face, and all over my back and shoulder.”

The woman said the attack happened between two stations while the train was moving. “There was nobody to help. There was no time, really. We were surrounded, it happened in one stop, and then they got off the next stop, at Lake,” she said.

As the train stopped, the group grabbed her purse, ran off and jumped the turnstile, she said. The woman ran after them, though, and eventually got her purse back and went to the police station to press charges.

I recently stumbled across the Keysi Fighting Method, which is designed for multiple attackers scenarios. In the mob scenes above, this isn’t going to make you Superman, but it may be enough for you to survive and get indoors or hold your own until help arrives.

Study the following video, and regardless of what you may think of their specific techniques, I think they’re onto something important when they constantly train multiple attacker drills.
