Who threatened whom?

Written By Chicago News Report on Thursday, July 12, 2012 | 7/12/2012 09:41:00 PM

An alleged incident over unlit cigarettes prompted two people to dial 911 in the city's Edgewater neighborhood, overnight.

Thursday, around 1:41 a.m., a white male walking through the area of Winthrop and Ardmore, called police after two black males allegedly threatened him, because he didn't have a lighter to light their cigarettes.

Three minutes later, one of the black males mentioned in the white male's 911 call, contacted police claiming the white male used racial slurs and threatened him.

When police arrived around 1:45 a.m., both parties had left the scene.

Authorities called both 911 callers back, but their calls went to voicemail.

Is Chicago's black crime wave causing racial intolerance, or are black suspects, who routinely target white victims, playing the race-card when confronted with the prospect of being arrested?
