Somewhat off topic, but the murder rate/shooting rate per capita is likely much higher than prior years. The black.population of Chicago has declined over the past 10 years or so.
I heard that blacks aren’t just moving from Chicago to safer suburban towns, but are leaving Illinois for better economic opportunities in other states.
Then sadly, the black population left behind has a bigger concentration of gang types. And those law abiding citizens left behind are more likely to be victims of violent crime.
I sure wish we didn’t have so many elephants in rooms. The issue of black on black crime,black youth gangs,etc. Is rarely talked about openly.
But on the other hand, the statistically rare black victims of police shootings suck all the oxygen out of the room.
Many of the blacks who have departed Chicago, did not necessarily do so voluntarily.
They have been given Section 8 Vouchers that are location-specific.
In part, this is due to the Obama Regime’s plan to spread lower-class blacks into neighborhoods across the country.
Ironically, in order to qualify for the vouchers, the relocatees have to be as law-abiding as possible; which means that the worst of the worst are stuck in Chicago.
Amen.... in spades

Actually the issue of black on black is addressed frequently, but what isn’t talked about, ever, is black on white, black on Asian, and black on Hispanic crime. The incidence numbers are, frankly, staggering.
