Downtown Chicago looked like a scene outta “Black Hawk Down” this weekend as hundreds of teens rioted

If I didn't tell you this was Chicago, would you think this happened in a developed nation?

[Warning: Violence]

I'm not commenting on skin color (you're not supposed to notice that), but seriously, doesn't this look like it's freaking Afghanistan or Somalia instead of America?

What a time to be alive.

Look at all these cop cars!!

Insane!!

From Fox:

Large groups of teens were seen blasting music from Bluetooth speakers and roaming in front of traffic, with some attempting to gain access to the city's Millennium Park, which is off-limits to those under 21 after certain hours, and the downtown Art Institute.

Some teens in the group began jumping up and down on cars, smashing windows and attacking people inside. One woman told Fox 32 her husband was attacked from the driver side of his vehicle and beaten after a group of teens jumped up and down on the couple's windshield. The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

...

Police were seen escorting frightened tourists back to their cars or hotels to escape the chaos, and traffic on Chicago's Michigan Avenue ground to a halt as police attempted to restore order.

A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old were shot in the chaos and taken to hospitals.

As for why these teens swarmed like locusts and rioted… they weren't protesting anything.

It was just the first warm weekend of the year and they felt like burning the city down.
