I work a few blocks east of the shooting.
The thing is Chicago is still largely segregated. Many areas are very safe and there is a vibrant and safe nightlife scene. Other areas are like a war zone. A few recently gentrified areas can be kind of dicey. . .. which might be the case where this shooting took place.
My son lives and works there. After a lifetime in Third World toilet bowl republics, and African bush wars, I’ve taught him all I know about survival in dangerous places (Charter member DPer’s). It’s only a matter of time, however, until he crosses paths with something evil. I never lay my head down each night, without first saying a most fervent prayer for his continued safety.
