Family Attacked By Teens Who Cut In Line At Six Flags “Fright Fest”

CHICAGO (CBS) — A family outing at Six Flags Great America’s “Fright Fest” took a horrific turn Saturday night when a group of teenagers brutally beat a 12-year-old boy and his parents as they waited in line at the amusement park in north suburban Gurnee, authorities said.

The annual Halloween-themed attraction typically draws “an increased number of knuckleheads who come to stir things up” at the park, but nothing like Saturday’s attack that left a family of three hospitalized, Gurnee Deputy Police Chief of Operations Brian Smith said.

“This is rare. This is on a different spectrum,” Smith said. “This family is lucky they got out with just the injuries that they did.”

Nine people have been arrested and charged with the attack, but Smith said it was possible more suspects could have gotten away.

“We don’t have any direct indication that there were additional people involved, but we won’t know that for sure unless we see more footage,” Smith said, urging witnesses to come forward to police with cellphone videos.

Wait until the race war kicks off. It will be enjoyable to rid society of these uneducated animalistic pieces of crap.

Last time I went there was 20 years ago and the Chicago scum were already making the place unvisitable.

No money for food, but they all have SOTA cellphones and can spend big bucks at the amusement parks

I knew it. I didn't even have to look at the video or the fact that they were from Chicago and I knew they were black thugs.

When is white America going to take this country back.

And they should arrest every single one of them for video taping this incident instead of helping out or stopping the fight. What happened to helping our fellow man?

Meanwhile, back in the NFL, a whole bunch of overpaid babies are busy protesting police as the "problem" in our country. Clearly.

They probably didn't want to get attacked, hurt or worse. At least they created evidence that can be used to put these animals behind bars.

I can't tell you why they didn't help, I wasn't there. Were you?
