ALTON, Ill. – A number of police officers and firefighters were apparently lured to a public housing project where they were attacked by a huge mob armed with fireworks and bottle rockets.
“I’m so angry,” Alton Police Chief David Hayes told The Telegraph. “This type of conduct is not supposed to happen in civil society.”
The attacks started when firefighters responded to a dumpster fire. The mob began shooting and throwing fireworks at them. According to police reports, the fires were set to “lure the fire department out so they could be attacked by fireworks.”
No one was injured in the battles that occurred late Sunday night and early Monday morning. The attackers, according to authorities, intended the assaults as entertainment for hundreds of people who had gathered at the housing complex.
In other words – the mob thought it would be funny to ambush police and firefighters. Officers were forced to retreat when they ran out of pepper ball ammunition.
Chief Hayes said the crowd’s actions were “despicable and turn my stomach.”
Deputy Fire Chief Mark Harris told the Associated Press he was upset at how the firefighters and police were attacked.
“Helluva example for the kids,” he said. “The guys don’t get paid near enough to be shot at.”
Andy Hightower, the manager of the housing authority, refused to comment and hung up on a FOX News Radio reporter.

What does one expect of the "Special Victims Class"? They've had everything on the taxpayer since the sixties.
The fire and police depts should never respond to ANY calls they get from this housing project again…problem solved!
A "race war" is brewing….and many of these Black rabble rousers…will be surprised when their educated Black brethern will join with White people and Latinos to defeat racism in the United States.
Why are the Black rabble rousers emboldened? Because Eric Holden and the DOJ have let it be known that the racist Obama government will NOT prosecute Blacks who attack White people, or keep them from voting….
This is outrageous.
This is the sort of community Obama was organizing.
Gotta love all that "rich diversity"…
Makes me sick,they need an AK-47s,just start shooting and dont stop till all the troublemakers fall!!
I was going to say the exact same thing when I came across your post. Trash like this needs to be taken out and disposed of.
That housing project needs to be leveled with the occupants in them. Worthless parasites need to be wiped out. Kill 'em all and let the Devil sort their worthless hides out
These "people" should lose their housing privileges for Life. I, for one, am tired of paying for these "people" to have a place to live, provide them with everyother need/want they have and then for them to treat our civil servants like this is beyond words. If someone gets caught for a crime they should lose ALL federal/state/local assistance. Period. No need to discuss it further.
L.B.J's GREAT society.Given everything and get trash in return. CUT OUT ALL THE FREEBIES AND STARVE!
some good ideas some hate here. Any person convicted of a crime should not be entitled to any assistance but it seems if you get convicted you get more and the more often you are caught the better the benifits for you. This is the democratic model of a redistributed country. If you have it you will loose it if you dont we will give it to you. whatever happened to the old fashioned work ethic? You want it? work for it! These same people will be the first to complain the fire and police dont respond fast enought when ther is a real crisis.
Nice job it should happen alot more those racist clowns set up thousands of blacks and hispanics.
