(CNN) -- The 17-year-old son of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel was the victim of an assault and robbery, a spokeswoman for the mayor told CNN on Saturday.
"Yesterday evening, Mayor Emanuel's son Zach was assaulted in a robbery during which his phone was stolen," spokeswoman Kelley Quinn told CNN. "He sustained injuries that required medical treatment, but was able to join the family for a long-planned trip."
Chicago police spokesman Officer Thomas Sweeney would not confirm the identity of the victim.

He said the incident occurred when the victim was approached while walking near his home "by two unknown male offenders who grabbed him and went through his pockets, taking his phone and then they fled the scene."
Emanuel did not offer a comment on the robbery.
"The mayor's focus is on his son's well-being, and as parents, he and Amy ask that the media respect their family's privacy at this time," Quinn said.

Because we were discussing crime in Chicago in the other thread
Just shows how bad crime is there but gun control is probably the highest than any other state

interesting to see the Chicago is now a state
it wasn't when I was there

as for the strictness of gun control in Cook County, it is probably less controlled than in Clark County (the only part of Nevada where there really is gun control and where prostitution is illegal but where you can get permits to keep lions and tigers and bears as a private citizen)

Of course facts don't matter to the OP

Mostly people (including me) bitching about marine1.

And some people saying that they don't like that. It wasn't as much fun as it sounds.

It was fun when you read it with the "Gunman forces hostages to hold Islamic flag in Sydney cafe" thread. Also a lot of posts deleted from that thread.

i have never seen a racist post from him. i have seen plenty of bigoted, but never racist. can you link some?

but some people need to learn what freedom of speech and freedom of expression is....

You for example

Freedom of expression in this country by law does not include hate speech (and nor does US free speech jurisprudence). This is arguably a defect and running that argument is one I advocate. More importantly where a person uses the cover of free expression to cause offense they surrender their right to seek injunction against being insulted and that is the issue.
