The latest fashion craze, the uber-expensive Canada Goose winter parkas, is making White people the targets of violent Black street criminals in crime-ridden Chicago who are robbing them at gunpoint for these status symbols:
It’s freezing in Chicago, and it’s open season on Canada Goose — not the water birds, the brand of super-warm coats that are ubiquitous on city streets in spite of their roughly $1,000 price tags.
Over the past two weeks, Chicago police have reported a spate of robberies in which people wearing the coats (and at least one wearing a fake) have been targeted and forced to give up their jackets.
Around 8:30 Wednesday night in the 2100 block of China Place, surveillance video captured a 54-year-old man being punched and robbed by two men who jumped from a white Mercedes sedan, showed a gun and forcibly took his Canada Goose coat and wallet. Twenty minutes later, men in a light-colored sedan accosted a 23-year-old man walking with a friend in the 200 block of West Cullerton Street, showed a gun and demanded his Canada Goose coat.
Last week, robbers driving a stolen Audi stripped six people of their coats between Tuesday night and Thursday morning, including two in Hyde Park — in one case following a victim into the lobby of an apartment building in the 5100 block of South Harper Avenue — and four others in North Side neighborhoods.
It’s not the first time Canada Goose has been a target of thieves. In 2016, the Moosejaw outdoor equipment store in Lincoln Park was hit four times in a month with smash-and-grab robberies apparently targeting the coats. They’ve been frequently stolen items from places like coat racks and chair backs for at least three years, and last year drew muggers who demanded coats from Canada Goose wearers in London and Manchester, England.
Though the Canada Goose company insists it is not a fashion brand, but rather sturdy equipment for Arctic (and urban) explorers, the brand’s high profile (it has appeared in James Bond films and is seen on celebrities from Drake to Kate Upton to David Beckham) and high price tag combine to make its coats a high-theft item.
So basically these White people are willing to risk their lives just so they can wear a trendy winter jacket with a patch on the shoulder which elicits envy in others. Given the level of violent crime in Chicago, one would think that most Whites living their would have the common sense to avoid wearing anything that Blacks covet, and they covet anything that falls under conspicuous consumption. And they are willing to kill to get what they want.
And yet Whites still line up around the block just for the privilege of dropping $1,500 on a jacket with a little white patch that won’t keep them much warmer than a $100 jacket, but that’s not the point. Ironically, many people are unwittingly buying fake Canada Goose jackets online, but since Blacks don’t know the difference between real and fake ones, even the fakes are making people targets of gun-toting criminals.

This article is proof of why decent , knowing White’s do not respect black’s. About 50 years ago, I happened to be in a city area that had small neighborhood stores. The one, I went into was owned by Arabs. This was my first experience at seeing why blacks are so hated, despised , distrusted, by thinking White’s. The Arab owner followed the Black’s around the store to make sure they did not steal from him.
How far back was it when blacks were stealing tennis shoes, I think of the name ‘”Air Jordons”, but I’m not sure? And how many times , have they been shown on the television news going into stores in large groups and looting the merchandise? And yet, when the news media interviews the liberal minded White’s , or the Black’s, we’re told it’s everyone’s problem, because the Blacks will not and are too ashamed to admit that “they ” are the problem. Just like the Blacks of South Africa wanted the country turned over to them and now whine they can’t make it produce, they blame everyone else but themselves just as the blacks here wanted Police defunded, more minorities in the police forces and in areas of high crime, murders ,whine that they want more police, too much crime, but never blaming themselves. I still say that the black’s may seem religious, love spirituals, and spiritual singing and anything else religious like going to church, do not believe they are spiritual beings or spiritually minded. Even the Jews are still living 2,000 and more years in the past wanting their land they have taken from the Palestinians and want their temple rebuilt and the rulership of the world. If the Jews were a spiritual people, they would not still wanting this, but be advancing. I do not believe for that reason they are a spiritual people , for it is from them that all or most of the occult comes from. Years ago, a women wrote a comment , to a publication of some sort that her daughter became involved with a black and that they did not approve of it. But the two got married and she was saying that he turned out to be a nice , decent husband , who was kind to their daughter, opened the doors for her and other trivialities. Why not. He’s in a different world, and knows he’s being observed and evaluated and presents a good face. What is interesting to know is how long it lasted or if their still married.

Or get an open carry and wear the jacket. In war you have to think strategically. You have to pick your ground. The only question here is: tactics and objectives.

The video in the link to the original article of the Blacks mugging that White guy for his coat is scary. He’s lucky they didn’t just shoot him, and many Whites have been shot for a lot less. These Blacks know they are going to prison eventually, so they want to make sure that they take out a Whitey on the way, just to have some cred while doing 30 years in prison.

Too many of our people are caught up in the image of the world, and they are reaping what they sow.
They shouldn’t be in the cities anyway.. if you want a nice jacket, then have the nice jacket while living in a white suburb and shopping in white stores.
