[Chicago Gonna Chicago] Teen murdered on family's front porch

You do realize the guns and drugs are not made in those neighborhoods? Imported as are most of the customers for those drug.

 

He is right. We can talk ab causes of violence but what are they protesting?

 

Chicago announced plans to hire around 1000 more officers prior to Trump being elected.

 

Trump HAD NOTHING to do with it. A Police Officer hiring initiative was announced while Obama was in office.

 

Jesus you're full of crap.

 

Interestingly enough, Chicago has LESS 'beat cops' on the force in 2018 (at least May) than they did in 2016.

#BLM isn't about gang violence! False equivalency hurr hurr!

This is why our cities continue to go to **** by the way. Look at what our "progressives" think is more important... at least they are pretending to care about black lives I guess.

 

Play stupid games. win stupid prizes.

 

Let me guess. Liberals, immigrants, Obama at fault?
And the fact that gun violence is going down is all thanks to El Presidento? (based on your post above)
Let's hear another one sided argument - it's good entertainment. For you and for us.

 

Our war on drugs working as intended....

Our patchwork of guns laws working as intended....

 

Really need gun control in Indiana to help the cops get an edge in Chicago. It's so crazy

 

Sad situation. RIP.

 

Chicago was once a great city? You reference crime as the reason it isn’t anymore? You haven’t spent a lot of time in Chicago years ago, I can tell. The reason is Chicago isn’t nearly as violent or corrupt as it used to be. Chicago was extremely violent and everyone was controlled by the mafia or bought politicians.

 

The problem isn't Chicago as a whole. I was just there a couple weeks ago. It's a pretty safe city overall, but the black areas are where the murders and crime are. Sucks to say it, but it is what it is. Blacks, whites, and Hispanics make up about equal portions of the city. Blacks are 77.3% of the people murdered over the past 5 years, Hispanics 15.5%, and white/other 4.7%.

I was talking with an uber driver there who grew up in the projects and it sounded like he was describing Lord of the Flies when he was growing up. He hadn't read the book, so I told him to check it out. We had a pretty in depth conversation about how he was able to avoid the bad paths and he talked about how the kids get sucked down the wrong path so easily. Talking with him makes think about trying to mentor some kids. but it almost feels overwhelming and I wouldn't want to be a disappointment but maybe I'll try to pursue it somehow. The total lack of adult and parental direction he was describing was just so damn sad to hear.
