I think most of you remember that video? That's awesome - Thanks to the interwebz! =DD

Chicago police are questioning six youths concerning the brutal beating, captured on video and posted on YouTube, of a 17-year-old boy in an alley in the city's Bridgeport neighborhood.

No charges have yet been filed in the attack, which took place around 4 p.m. Sunday in an alley behind James Ward Elementary School, located at 28th and Princeton, the Chicago Tribune reports.

(Scroll down to watch Mayor Emanuel comment on the attack.)

The footage shows the 17-year-old victim being punched in the face and kicked repeatedly by seven males while being taunted with racial slurs over the course of more than three minutes. His attackers also robbed the victim of $180 in cash, in addition to his sneakers.

The beating victim ran away, shoeless, was taken to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center and was released, according to the Tribune.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told CBS Chicago he was "pretty confident that we've got the makings of wrapping this thing up." Though his department is still searching for two suspects, six others will soon be charged.

"We’ve got six people in custody. We've got two more people identified, who we’re out looking for right now," McCarthy told CBS.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel weighed in on the beating on Tuesday and said that it should serve as "a wake-up call to all of us," NBC Chicago reports.

"Those kids doing that to another child is wrong. It is not tolerable and it does not represent what this city's values are and the good people of this city," Emanuel continued.

Area resident Carl Segvich commented to ABC Chicago that he was "outraged" by the attack.

"We have war in our cities right now, and if they would have had a gun, they would have probably shot the poor kid," Segvich told ABC.

I dont think they attacked him for no reason, people dont put a mask on and jump someone unless they did something to offend them or there friends. It waas proabably pay back for something and why is this getting blown up? This happens everyday.

It is kind of ironic that they claim that...

"...It does not represent what this city's values are and the good people of this city..."

Children are representatives of their parents values and beliefs. In most cases, if the parents are good citizens they raise children who respect other people and cultures. Kid's pick up form their parents more than you think. I think their parents act them same way in some shape or form which these kids interpret as acceptable. I blame the parents.

Good, I'm glad they are all caught. I hope they get more than a slap on the wrist though. You can never predict this judicial system.
