Black Teens RAMPAGE Through Chicago, Democrats Say NO MORE JAIL
Tim Pool argues that Democratic policies in Chicago, specifically Mayor Brandon Johnson's veto of snap curfews and refusal to incarcerate teens, directly fuel recent black teen rampages. He contrasts these events with white youth behavior, citing a correlation between neighborhood demographics and crime while condemning Johnson as "deeply evil" for enabling violence. Drawing from his own history in gang-ridden Leclerc Courts, Pool links current unrest to failed urban renewal projects, asserting that environmental factors drive the chaos rather than racial intent, despite his simultaneous criticism of white supremacists like Nick Fuentes. Ultimately, he frames the crisis as a consequence of political negligence and broader Democratic malfeasance regarding voting laws and poverty. [Automatically generated summary]
Chicago is just another city in chaos as black teens rampage through the streets, mercilessly beat a dude.
This is another teen takeover, not the first, won't be the last.
This problem is affecting cities across the country, and it is getting increasingly worse.
Now, I know there's going to be a lot of leftists who are like, well, you shouldn't say it's black teens as a racist.
Well, it is.
I'm not saying black people have done anything intentionally just because they're black.
I am saying we have news reports of large groups of black teenagers in various cities running through the streets, smashing up windows, looting department stores, robbing convenience stores, shooting and killing people.
This is what is currently happening.
And what do we get in Chicago?
The mayor says we can't incarcerate our way out of violent crime.
Even after a young woman was just murdered by an illegal immigrant, they will not fund police.
They have continually called for defunding police, even to this day, despite some of them now saying, no, no, we don't want to defund police.
In New York City, Zoran Mandani is literally defunding the police.
Well, my friends, Donald Trump offered to send in ICE, DHS, National Guard, and they said he's sending in the Gestapo.
What I can tell you is this.
As I have many stories pulled up for you to go through the problem of the teen takeovers that are happening across this country and the violence, I'm from Chicago, and I can tell you firsthand what it was like growing up there and what we experienced and the reason why I don't want my family to be there and I don't want to raise my family, at least in that neighborhood.
The city I do like.
I think the city in the Chicagoland area are fantastic.
We love the Bears.
We're pissed about what's happening.
But I will tell you, seeing these videos, hearing these stories, and hearing from my friends who don't want to be there anymore because it's gotten worse year after year under Brandon Johnson and the Democrats, well, I must say Donald Trump has been correct the whole time and something must be done because we can't live this way.
The Chicago chaos, they call it, nightmarish moment.
Hundreds of lawless teens overrun downtown Chicago as stores are looted and bystanders are maced.
I asked a friend in Chicago, how have things been?
I haven't been back in a long time.
I left when I was 23, came back a little bit here and there.
So first half of my life, now I'm 40, almost half of my life spent not being in my own hometown.
I am from the Midway area, Chicago proper, in the city where my father was a Chicago firefighter.
And when I bring these things up, it's a weird game they play.
There's a lie that they try to push about everything I'm involved with to try and discredit and confuse.
Tim's not really from the city, he's from the suburbs.
Incorrect.
I grew up on 49th and Laramie.
That's actual street where I grew up.
You know what's funny?
It's actually the border.
It's like right across the street is Stickney, but it's Chicago.
And the funny thing is, not too far away, Seamus Coughlin, I kid you not, of Freedom Tunes, and Jimmy Dore.
And guess what?
Three miles west of there, Nick Fuentes.
I kid you not.
I'm not going to show you the map of where they actually live.
I'm actually not going to find that, but I'll show you the map and break this down.
What a weird thing, right?
Is it not weird that Jimmy Dore, Seamus Coughlin, Tim Poole, and Nick Fuentes are all from like three miles within the same area of Chicago?
I'm just saying, what I will say is this.
Many people wonder why it is someone like Nick Fuentes can become so popular.
Why his message, when he explicitly says that people don't want to live near black people, that's what he stated.
I can tell you this, my friends.
I understand why he's saying it.
I don't 100% agree, but I do agree to a great deal because I grew up in gang territory in an area near the Leclerc courts where gangs were rampant.
And I have seen the drug dealing, the violence, the shootings, and I don't want to live there either.
Now, it's not that.
I don't want to live in an area with black people, right?
This is what Nick Fund has said.
He says, why would you want to live there?
No, because Hyde Park is actually really, really nice, and it's a black neighborhood as well.
I do not blame the individuals for the neighborhoods for the actions of groups.
What I will say, though, is in Chicago, there is a direct overlap and correlation between high crime neighborhoods and the racial makeup.
Black neighborhoods have higher crime than white neighborhoods.
That is a statistic you will find in Chicago.
Call it racist, call it whatever you want, but it's true.
We don't see, for the most part, I say for the most part, because it's not absolute, roving bands of white teenagers rampaging through the city in this way, the way we have seen black teens doing these teen takeovers for some time.
The question is, what are we as a society going to do about it?
In New York, when they did Stop and Frisk, it overwhelmingly targeted black neighborhoods, and this resulted in cries of racism from leftist activists.
But if we ignore the fact that this is a phenomenon from black neighborhoods among black teenagers, you're not actually going to solve the problem by going after, going into middle-class white neighborhoods and saying, don't do a teen takeover, because they're going to say, we are not.
I guess the problem is if they go into the black neighborhoods, they're racist.
You tell me how you solve the problem.
Honestly, I have no idea, but I'm not going to shy away.
And I'm not going to avoid the fact that there clearly is some kind of racial component here.
And again, I'm not saying that these people, these teenagers, are doing this because they're black.
I'm saying in these neighborhoods, a culture is developed.
It is in these neighborhoods where these teens decide to do these things and then they go out and do them.
We don't see that for the most part in white neighborhoods.

Let's grab the story from the Daily Mail.
Chicago chaos.
Nightmarish moment.
Hundreds of lawless teens overrun downtown Chicago.
Stores looted.
Bystanders maced.
We got video for you.
Take a look at this from Officer Lou.
The teen takeover in Chicago.
This is an overhead.
Check this video out.
So I believe there, actually, there might be audio on this one.
I might have it muted.
Nope, no audio in this one.
What you can see is a bunch of teens running down.
It looks like it might be Michigan Avenue.
I'm not sure.
They're just running.
That's all we really see, just running.
We've got this from the Chicago Contrarian.
An estimated 400 teens are running amok downtown on State Street in Michigan Avenue.
It's a mess.
Here's a video where they mercilessly beat somebody.
Do I have these muted?
I'm like, there's no audio playing on this.
Is it just there's no audio?
Maybe there's no audio.
Well, it doesn't matter anyway, because for those that are just listening, you have a bunch of black teenagers kicking and stomping on someone.
We don't know why.
If we scroll back to the beginning, it appears to be another, is that another, is that another black man that they're beating and stomping on?
I'm not entirely sure.
We do have this from the Daily Mail.
You can see this photo.
And here's the guy laying on the ground with what appears to be some kind of medic.
Maybe someone is trying to help him after he was stomped.
An absolute mess, they say.
Check this one out.
Here we go.
So for those that are watching, I'll check this down a little bit, for those that are watching.
They're wearing masks.
Not all of them, but some of these guys are wearing masks.
They're fighting, running around, smashing things, beating people up for no reason.
Why are they attacking this guy now?
They're just chasing someone else to beat him.
They are randomly beating people.
They are beating random people for no reason.
Running through the streets.
This has been going on for some time.
This is a post from 2025.
This was, and this is college football poll says, this was literally right outside my hotel last night in downtown Chicago.
So far, I've been here for 24 hours.
And as if the stench of weed across the city wasn't enough, a street takeover and a shooting with a 15-year years shot flash mobs running through the streets, Chicago is out of control.
Take a look at this video.
It's ridiculous, man.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It didn't used to be this way.
We've got this report from NBC5 breaking down what happened.
unidentified
Day yesterday, but it turned into a bit of a chaotic night, as you can see here in downtown Chicago, as police had to flood this area to break up all of this activity.
A large group of teens, something we tend to see as the weather gets warmer.
Well, we checked with them earlier this morning, Michelle, and they didn't have numbers to give us on how many teens were initially taken into custody or how many people were hurt.
We're going to keep following up with them throughout the morning.
But as you just saw, there's video showing at least one person being loaded into an ambulance, several teens being taken away in handcuffs.
Let's show you what this all looked like last night.
This started around 9 o'clock.
Teens, they covered the sidewalks at times along State Street, Randolph, over on Wabash.
Chicago police, they could be seen placing handcuffs on several teens.
Some were even fighting, as you can see, being placed into the back of a police van.
Officers could be heard telling their friends they would be taken over to the First District Police Station.
Over the course of the hour that this was happening, officers flooded the area on bikes to try and see if they could break up this crowd.
This has been an issue in Chicago for years.
It's something aldermen are still trying to handle, potentially with a teen curfew that can essentially be moved from the usual time at 10 p.m.
But I want you to look at this.
So this comes from Alderman Brian Hopkins.
He spearheaded this movable curfew.
He posted this on social media last night saying, quote, I'm at State and Lake.
Crowd partially dispersed by 10.40 p.m.
The situation was out of control about an hour ago.
But then at 10 p.m., an order was issued for curfew enforcement.
It had an immediate impact on this violent teen trend.
Curfew enforcement is effective.
Mayor Brendan Johnson, he vetoed that first version of what was called a snap curfew last year.
A tweaked version of it was passed earlier this year through a public safety committee, but it has not gone up yet for a vote from the entire city council.
So Everett, a lot of people trying to figure out different ways to handle this so the teens don't get hurt and the public also doesn't get injured in this.
There's a lot to break down and currently what's going on and I've got more stories about these teen takeovers.
Here's one from News4 JAX.
Jacksonville officer strikes teen during arrest at McDonald's after Blue Cypress Park takeover.
JSOS's officers did not violate use of force policy.
That's the report, right?
When these kids intentionally are running rampant, smashing things, how dare the officer strike a teen trying to subdue them and arrest them for a crime they're committing.
Of course, the reporting is going to be police brutality.
Pittsburgh Public Schools issue plea to parents about planned downtown takeover yesterday.
It's happening in Florida.
This is not spring break.
And once again, it is black teenagers.
Again, guys, I am not saying that it is because they are black.
I am not trying to disparage any individual based on their race.
The fact remains, this is visible to people.
And the reason why I bring this up, look at this one.
We've got this one, teen takeovers.
This is from 2023.
unidentified
And theater's on top of the stairs.
So when you look down, it's just like mobs of people just running and running.
And when we ask people, like, what's happening, they're like, people are going around pepper spraying people.
There's people like throwing chairs.
It was just very hectic.
Yeah.
And the only way we could get out, because obviously we're upstairs, like we can't go downstairs because we just put ourselves into that.
So we went through the parking lot.
And then once we left the parking lot, we heard a gunshot.
These teen takeovers have been happening for years and they will not do anything about it.
Nothing.
They let these people go and it gets worse.
And this is what we are told.
We'll come back to this video in a second.
We have this.
Teenboy critically wounded in Southwest Side shooting.
Hey, that's where I'm from, the Southwest side.
So this is what I grew up with.
Here's Google Earth.
And I'm going to zoom in right here for you.
This is Vidham Park.
And this is where I grew up.
It is Chicago proper, just a couple blocks away from Midway Airport, which is a crazy airport, by the way.
I've flown to Midway only once in my life.
Pretty crazy.
It was weird to be there.
I was like, wow, I've never actually, it's like, it's, I believe it's a square mile.
It's very small.
Southwest operates out of there.
Here's all Minuteman Park.
Oh, we used to skateboard here.
Do they have anything left?
I don't know.
Oh, a new playground.
So this is where this is my neighborhood.
Now here's the funny thing.
Right around this area where I grew up, this is the school I went to, Our Lady of the Snows.
I told you guys that there was a hot dog stand with a bullet hole in the window.
And where is it right here?
I think it's this right here.
I think this is LM's.
And this is 47th Street.
This street right here, when you cross over, when I was a kid, I don't know, I don't know if it's changed at all, but the Leclerc courts, let me see if I, if it says it on Google Earth, no, it doesn't.
So this area over here was called the Leclerc Courts.
They bulldozed all the houses and got rid of it.
Leclerc MB Church.
So when you cross 47th right here, everybody who lived over here was black.
And south of here in Stickney, Stickney is a suburb.
It's kind of weird connecting thing.
Through here, everybody was mostly white, some Hispanic, a lot of Polish immigrants.
Movimi Popolsku was written everywhere.
You go down to Archer.
This is all Chicago.
And here's Summit, suburb.
So this is all Chicago proper.
And then you get into, I think, Bridgeview.
Okay, Stickney is over here.
And then you go down on Harlem.
And then you go south through here.
And you got Revis.
Bridgeview is down here, yeah.
So Burbank, they got a great skate park.
Where's the Burbank skate park?
There it is.
Is it right here?
No, that's Rice.
Where's Narragansett?
There it is.
There it is.
This is the famous skate park where I grew up skateboarding right here.
And they built a little extension on it.
Those were the days, my friends.
I'm going to tell you what's really crazy.
I'm not going to pinpoint the exact areas, but right around here, that's where I lived.
Right around here, that's where Jimmy Doerr lived.
A little bit over here, where Seamus Coglin lived.
And if he jumps straight over here, around here, Nick Fuentes.
Isn't that crazy?
It's kind of crazy.
Here's why I bring it up.
That's the point I'm going to make.
Nick Fuentes has a viral video.
And, you know, he is attacked.
He is criticized.
They say that he's wrong.
He's racist.
He's a white supremacist, whatever you want to call him.
But I understand Nick Fuentes.
And I certainly disagree with a lot of his opinions.
And we had this discussion.
I asked him this question.
I said, if everyone in the United States, like every white person just woke up one day and they were Indian, same memories, same traditions, same moral worldview, but their skin turned brown and they looked Indian, would the country be better or worse?
And he didn't want to answer it.
He said, I just think, you know, I think it would not be as good.
And I'm like, but what about it?
Nick genuinely believes, at least my assessment of him, is that there is a genetic racial component that makes people behave in certain ways that he doesn't appreciate.
I mostly don't agree with that.
I do think nature plays a role.
I think nurture plays a larger role.
So that's why when you look at these teen takeovers, I do not believe that there's a genetic component that makes black teens go in rampage.
I don't think so.
I think is a culture that emerges in their community as evidenced by the fact that we did not have this 20 years ago.
You had other things, like you had issues for sure.
Swerving, for instance, where largely black teens will get on bikes and do wheelies and charge towards a vehicle or person and then swerve real quick.
These are new cultural developments.
They didn't exist all the time.
So I don't think it's a racial thing.
However, I understand Nick Fuentes, and I'll tell you why.
There were black teenage girls from the Leclerc Quartz area that would come over here, and they were like 12 to 14, and they would mug young white girls.
And so we knew, and like we, like friends would tell their sisters, their little sisters, like, if you go out there and you see this group, leave right away.
I'm not kidding.
Like 14-year-old boy tells his 12-year-old sister, if you're hanging out to Vidom and you see seven black girls coming, you need to leave because they will rob you.
They will steal everything from you.
They'll push you around.
They'll hit you.
Happened all the time.
What are you going to do about it?
They'd tell the cops and the cops would say, like, what are we supposed to do?
Go track down a bunch of young black girls in the Claire Courts.
Like, they're nuts.
The cops didn't want to get shot, but they also were like cops straight up told us, they'll call us racist if we do that, so we're not doing it.
And then we'd be like, bro, what?
The craziest thing was when they banned the elotes man from selling elotas.
So if you're not familiar with elotes, it's the street corn.
And the guy would pull up right here, and we were like, let's go, street corn, and make a dollar.
And then I guess something happened where they stopped showing up.
And we asked like other people across Cicero, like, which is over here, what happened.
And they'd be like, oh, we're not allowed to go there anymore, but like a city ordinance rule or whatever.
Here's Archer Park.
We used to skate here as well.
Not so much, though.
You got, there's Venom.
Where's Cicero?
Is that Cicero right here?
Yeah, it's Cicero.
And so anyway, imagine you're Nick Fuentes.
You're a younger guy, and you grew up not too far away from this area.
You're over here in the suburbs, right?
So I'm not, I don't, I don't know exactly where Nick is from, but most people know where he is now because of the doxing that happened.
So he's still in relatively the same area.
Here's a dude who is a young man who grows up in an area where you've got gang violence.
You've got news reports of shootings all the time.
It's almost entirely always black teenagers.
And then people say to me, these liberals, oh, these liberals, I can't stand it.
They think they're so smart.
They think they know everything.
They have no idea what they're talking about.
And they're like, well, the gang violence is a big problem.
It's not gang violence.
It's not gang violence.
The gangs were bad.
The problem was it was us versus them violence.
It was people who lived in Leclerc Courts did not like the white people.
That was it.
It was racism.
So like you go down Cicero, right?
I think you got Central right there.
So let's, where are we at?
Oh, no, no, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Central's over here, and you got Cicero over here.
So you drive down this street, and you're near the Leclerc courts, and you're going to 55 because you want to go downtown or whatever.
They got gas stations over here, bro.
The stories that I've heard, man, of people, they come down, they stop at a gas station or whatever.
You see the gas stations here.
And there's just gangbangers and they're wearing black and white or they're wearing gold and black, depending on which gang they are.
I think this territory was largely popes, which I think was black and white.
So they wear like big black shirts and like white basketball shorts or something.
You know which gang they were in.
And you were going to get messed up.
You were going to have problems.
Not all the time, not all the time.
People aren't just going out looking for trouble.
And they don't want to mess with customers if they're selling drugs, but you got no business coming into Leclerc Courts.
I remember like we would go looking for skate spots and we're from this area.
So we didn't really, we didn't really care.
Honestly, I didn't know a single person who went to Hearst.
No idea.
But check this out.
See these grass fields?
You know what they did?
There used to be houses there.
I wonder if I can do a street view on this and show you.
So let's jump down and I'll show you what the Democrats did.
Hey, look at these fields.
Look at these fields.
Big old empty fields.
Can we go back in time here?
You got July of 2024.
There used to be a way to go back in time, but I don't know how to do it.
I don't know what this stupid thing is.
Maybe you can only do it on maps and I'm on Google Earth.
Let me pull up maps and go to Midway Airport and see if I can pull up the, you go back in time, you'll see something really interesting.
You will see there used to be houses there.
Let me drop the little man on maps and see Le Mans.
That was the Democrat solution to the gangbanger problem.
So what happened?
All of the young black men who were in this area that were causing problems, that were robbing people, they finally said, we're going to solve for this.
Because like I was telling you, like the young girls would come and rob girls in their neighborhood.
So what did they do?
Destroyed all the houses, kicked everybody out, and the gangbangers all moved to other areas.
And that was their solution.
Say, problem solved.
Nobody lives here anymore.
Here you go.
Mother Jones.
Trump says he's made Memphis safer.
Locals told me it felt like 1930s Germany or North Korea.
Now, the response to Republicans is, are there that many illegal immigrants on the voting rolls?
They aren't going to tell you the truth, but I will.
The Republicans want it to pass.
So they're going to say what they need to say to get it passed.
It's about illegal immigrants.
I don't think it's that case.
I don't think that's the case.
I think that's true, but I think what's actually going on is the Democrats walk up to a random person, vote, and they go, okay.
They vote.
What if it was a little bit harder?
What if they walked up and said, vote, and they go, I'm not registered.
Register to vote.
And they go, where?
You got to go somewhere to register.
I can't register you.
You need an ID.
Indeed.
This would make it very difficult for Democrats to recruit disinterested individuals.
So yeah, it would alter the voter rules.
And Republicans would never lose again.
And Chicago, Republicans would still lose, don't get me wrong.
But if you want to register to vote, it would require you to get your IDs, go to the DMV and register and prove you are who you say you are.
That tiny little barrier is going to remove the disaffect, the, I'm sorry, the default liberals.
The people who don't know what's going on, don't care all that much.
But they vote anyway because Democrats told them to.
It was funny.
We had Mike Benz on the show last night.
Mike Benz uncovered a conspiracy against me.
That's not a joke.
You see, after Joe Biden won, and he won in 2020, I said this was not fraud.
This was ballot harvesting.
The strategy employed by Democrats was universal mail-in voting followed by ballot harvesting.
Activists would go to nursing homes, they'd go to other areas where there are a high density of people, and they would collect their ballots for them and deposit them.
And that is legal.
They're allowed to do it.
It's much more difficult for Republicans to do.
It was like Brookings.
It was the Atlantic Foundation or whatever, the Atlantic Council.
And he lists a whole bunch of other organizations that identified me as the nexus of this theory.
But I was correct.
They called it malinformation.
They said the truth is he's correct, but it's bad.
That's what malinformation is, bad information.
It's not wrong.
It's not misleading.
It's true, but it's bad for us.
So they accused me of spreading malinformation, which to the layman sounds like I was lying to people.
No, I was telling them the truth.
I was saying it's not fraud.
It's them knocking on doors and getting old people to vote.
They removed all barriers, had everybody fill out a mail-in ballot, and then collected it.
That's why they could not repeat this in 2024.
They had COVID lockdowns.
Everybody was there, and activists went and collected these ballots, and that's how they won.
See, the truth is, with this, it ends this system.
Trump, Republicans, they'll smash through the midterms.
You pass this bill right now.
Republicans will win.
And we all know it.
And that's why Democrats won't pass it.
And that's why the corrupt Republicans won't either.
Because they don't want Trump to win.
They want this broken system.
It's procedural voting, not opinion voting, not popular voting.
I like popular voting.
That's where people who want to vote, who are motivated to vote, do, and they vote for what they believe in.
Procedural voting is when you just say, I just need people to vote for whatever reason.
I don't care who they are.
They don't know what they're voting for.
They don't know what they're voting for.
They're just told, vote for our team.
And they do.
Democrats then win and have had control of Chicago for over 100 years.
And it has only gotten worse.
Now, the sad reality of all of it is, I can't stand racism.
I do not look to these black teens rampaging and think black people are bad.
Absolutely not.
There are many heroes of American history who are indeed black men.
There are people who come here from Nigeria as hard workers and they make a lot of money and they're successful.
And there's nothing wrong with them because they're black.
I get infuriated when I see someone who is black be discriminated against simply because they are.
And the same thing is true for Mexicans or Asians.
And that's why I can't stand Democrats.
I don't like white supremacists either.
So it breaks my heart and it pisses me off that Democrats foment and exacerbate the problems that keep these people impoverished because it's not about race.
It's about poor neighborhoods that they perpetuate intentionally with failed policies.
And then you get someone like Nick Fuentes who sees what's going on and says he doesn't like black people.
And I'm like, bro, he actually said this.
He said that no man would bring his family near, to live near a black neighborhood.
And that's not to say that he blames the individual for being black.
That's stupid.
And he's correct.
So my friends, I look at what's going on in Chicago.
My heart breaks for this city.
It pisses me off.
It should change.
I think the SAFE Act can change it.
But you believe what you want.
Live how you want.
I left.
And it is kind of sad because people say maybe you should come back and help fight for it.
Maybe.
But in the end, I do think people just vote based on race.
