“chicago (ap)—a chicago television news crew reporting on a string of robberies ended up robbed themselves after they were accosted at gunpoint by three armed men wearing ski masks.

[GRA: Which news entity is the leader in being pro-black? ap and nnn are neck and neck.]

“spanish-language station univision chicago said a reporter and photographer were filming just before 5 a.m. monday on [sic] chicago’s west town neighborhood when three masked men brandishing firearms robbed them, taking their television camera and other items.

“‘they were approached with guns and robbed. mainly it was personal items, and they took a camera,’ Luis Godinez, vice president of news at univision chicago, told the chicago tribune.

“Godinez said the news crew was filming a story about robberies in the west town community that was slated to run on the morning news. he said the footage they shot was in the stolen camera, and the story never made it on the air.

“chicago police identified the victims as a 28-year-old man and 42-year-old man. police said the pair was outside when the three men drove up in a gray sedan and black suv. after the armed robbers took items from the news crew they fled in their vehicles.

“no injuries were reported and no one is in custody, police said.”

(GRA: This is a recording—“no one is in custody.”)

[ap calls armed robbery “being accosted”]

Uhh, what?

"robbed themselves after they were accosted at gunpoint"

Reasonable people can put 2 and 2 together here, and conclude it was an armed robbery, even if that specific phrase isn't used. The phrase "at gunpoint" is a big clue.

Perhaps the problem is that you are not a reasonable person?

It says "robbed" *after* being "accosted at gunpoint". As reported, two events, briefly separated in time. First came the accosting at gunpoint, then right after that the robbing.

Maybe the reporting/phrasing is just a little unorthodox.

But it's clear to a reader that they are not "calling" an armed robbery "being accosted". The word "robbed" is not being replaced by "accosted", as if "accosted" were a euphemism. The word "robbed" is still there. And the fact a gun was used is also specifically mentioned: "at gunpoint". Which makes it an "armed robbery", even if that specific phrase is not used.

CRAZY NIG OF THE DAY:nEGRO LURES CHICAGO FIREFIGHTERS INTO HIS HOUSE TO BURN THEM ALIVE.

GRA:I heard this story on Chicago radio

(Sun Times)A 47-year-old man is in custody after he lured two firefighters into his South Side home where the floor was covered with gasoline, according to police.

Other firefighters smashed a window to reach the two, a battalion chief and a lieutenant. They were not injured, and the man was arrested. Two knives and a loaded gun were recovered, police said.

The man was convicted nearly 20 years ago of murdering a rap producer in Austin, according to police.


The chief and lieutenant responded about noon Tuesday to a car fire in the garage of the man’s home in the 7700 block of South Marshfield Avenue in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, according to a police report.

After the fire was put out, the resident told the two that he smelled gas in his basement and asked if they could check it.

“You go first,” Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the chief told the suspect, who grabbed a battery-operated screw gun and removed a solid wooden board blocking the basement.

.’
Once down there, the firefighters did not smell gas and saw the suspect “quickly” going upstairs, Langford said. They followed, and at the top of the staircase were confronted with the suspect pointing a large knife at them and the strong odor of an accelerant.


They also saw the entrances to the home boarded up so they could not get out.

“He ordered them back in the basement,” Langford said. Instead, the firefighters began struggling with the suspect. Eventually, the chief was able to get on the radio and alert the crews outside and police.

Other firefighters broke a window, jumped in and pulled the two firefighters to safety. The man, meanwhile, barricaded himself in a bathroom with two knives and an empty gun holster. The man said he “wanted to harm himself,” but firefighters broke down the door, and he was taken into custody, the police report said.

Gasoline covered the floor inside the home. Police found a loaded gun in “plain view” and the basement appeared to be filled with hoses or wires, according to police and Langford.




The man was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park. No charges have been announced.

“It was very scary,’’ Langford said. “It’s speculation that this individual was trying to lure our people into a situation where they could be trapped, and he was preparing to light the accelerant with them in the basement.”

GRA:Speculation,but very likely,sir.They(Chicago firefighters)won't admit the truth either--even if it's as obvious as this is.
