random near the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.</p> <p>Police say the beatdowns are consistent with initiations by big-city street gangs — a phenomenon not typically seen on most Big 10 campuses.</p> <p>The latest round of maulings occurred in the wee hours of Saturday morning between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/http://abc7chicago.com/news/police-several-u-of-i-students-attacked-by-roving-gang/349504/">WLS-TV reports</a>.</p> <p>The attackers — described as black men, perhaps 25 years old, wearing dark clothes — rambled around an area in Champaign, tackling various innocent and unsuspecting people to the ground and kicking them in the head.</p> <p>Police say five students suffered injuries in four different instances. Three of the students received treatment for bruises, cuts and facial wounds, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/http://abc7chicago.com/news/police-several-u-of-i-students-attacked-by-roving-gang/349504/">notes WLS</a>. One student also had a cell phone stolen.</p> <p>Some victims said their attackers asked them a question or threatened them before their pummelings began. Other victims said they just got pummeled.</p><div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbs-mix"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({mode:'thumbs-1r-mid', container:'taboola-mid-article-thumbs-mix', placement:'mid-article-thumbs', target_type:'mix'}); </script> <p>Each incident occurred on a residential street in front of witnesses.</p> <p>There were six to eight attackers in total. They cruised around in a blue vehicle, looking for fresh victims.</p> <p>Police also noted that a similar rash of random beatdowns occurred the prior weekend when there were at least three such attacks.</p> <p>There have been 45 assaults reported in the Champaign–Urbana metropolitan area since Oct. 1.</p> <p>Champaign police have been observing the growth of local satellite operations by Chicago street gangs since 2008.</p> <p>The hits just keep coming for the flagship campus of the University of Illinois.</p> <p>Last month, the University of Illinois system’s board of trustees voted 8-1 to reaffirm a decision by school officials to revoke an employment offer to Steven Salaita, the world-class Israel-hating professor who tweeted himself out of a job with a parade of foul-mouthed, juvenile vitriol. <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/21/university-of-illinois-professor-blames-jews-for-anti-semitism/">(RELATED: America 2014: University of Illinois Professor Blames Jews For Anti-Semitism)</a></b></p> <p>Also, before bad press forced the hands of administrators, the Urbana–Champaign campus had employed urban planning professor James Kilgore — a felon and a former member of the notorious Symbionese Liberation Army that kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. <b><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/http://dailycaller.com/2014/05/10/terrorist-university-the-university-of-illinois-system-keeps-hiring-terrorists/">(RELATED: TERRORIST UNIVERSITY: The University of Illinois System Keeps Hiring Terrorists)</a></b></p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/https://twitter.com/ericowensdc"><i>Follow Eric on Twitter</i></a><i>. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20141018062517/https://www.facebook.com/EricOwensDC">Like Eric on Facebook</a>.
