14:40 mini documentary. Pretty insightful if you don't know much about their culture.

Fast forward to 5:20 if you don't want to watch it. the guy nails it.

He says there are too many guns. Is that what you are referring to?

Note that this is the UK media doing the investigative reporting. Not the NY Times.

When 0bama is back to being a Private Citizen (Please, G-d!) and returns to his Chi-Town roots, he’ll get this all cleaned up with some Community Organizin’ and sh#t.

No worries, Whitey! *SMIRK*

More federal money
More gun laws
Funding for after school ute programs
Better funding of public schools
An open and honest dialogue about racism
Better public housing
Upgraded Obama Phones
More abortion
Collaboration of popular artists singing about peace
An apology from George Bush, kneeling from Obama
Free college for elementary school dope dealing drop outs
Repeal of drug laws
Legalizing drugs
Less police
More Public Broadcasting
Donations to the Clinton Foundation...

NYC had 2,245 murders in 1990, Mayor David "Gorgeous Mosaic" Dinkins' glorious first year in office.

Chicago has been under the sole control of the Democrat Party for generations. A Republican politician in Chicago is as rare as a unicorn.

That says it all.

the main guy says all he's trying to do is get out of Chiraq, problem is... he'll gladly bring the same drugs and guns and bad habits to where ever he goes and ruin that place

kinda like west coast RATS moving after they soiled their own nest only to bring the same liburl mental disease and voting patterns with them

Heaven Forbid the police be allowed to "Profile"! I was profiled back in the day, had a deputy escort me home because I and my "Buds" were drinking beer underage! Punishment at home was sufficient! The thought of carrying a knife or gun for protection was inconceivable. Thank you ACLU for defending the "Right" to destroy yourself, neighborhood, city, and your Nation!

A sad, sad life they lead.

But the real tragedy is the rotten dems who run the town and could care less about these folks. Just give them enough food stamps to survive (or get shot), and then they continue to vote democrat for the rest of their miserable lives.

An endless vicious cycle of poverty and despair.

Yes. I can sympathize with these people for wanting to leave but a percentage of them will bring their old habits with them. I remember when some local governments started moving some families from the inner cities out to the suburbs and the results were predictable. The local cops and people were not happy. Some news person interviewed some black guy and he was pissed because he had worked hard to afford to live in this neighborhood and send his kids to good schools and now this happens.

This punk is part of the problem.........
