So What Were You Doing at the Age of 17?

We have 2 stories of 17-year-olds in Chicago. The first: 17-year-old girl is charged with violently mugging 3 Red Line passengers since September - CWB Chicago

Prosecutors have charged a 17-year-old girl with committing three robberies aboard Red Line trains since September. The girl turned herself in at the Central (1st) District police station in the South Loop on Tuesday.

CPD said she was part of a group of people who physically attacked and robbed a 45-year-old man on the train near Garfield around 5:15 p.m. on January 5.

There is apparently video evidence of the one robbery.

The second story: Boy, 17, carjacked one man, robbed 4 others on CTA trains this month, police say

A 17-year-old boy is responsible for robbing five people this month in a string of crimes that included muggings on the CTA and an armed carjacking, according to Chicago police.

The suspect, apprehended on Thursday, faces a litany of charges, including three felony counts of armed robbery with a firearm, two felony counts of robbery, one felony count of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, and one misdemeanor count of obstructing identification.

I still hold out some hope for the continuation of civilization, but it is clearly breaking down in the blue cities. "Outlaw" used to be one of the worst things you could call a person.
