It’s an isolated incident
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
I had a downtown high-rise one bedroom for some time in the early 2000s. Indoor parking made it good. I was a big guy so going out before 8 or 9 on foot was possible back then. Michigan Avenue to the Water Tower district good walking but in the Obama era it turned to a hunting ground.
“How many do you normally lose at a tree lighting ceremony? 30? 40?”
You can take ‘em out of the ghetto but....
Something similar happened at a tree lighting in N.C. the other day.......TikTok challenge perhaps?
Why would a White or Asian person go downtown after dark?
How about local high schools in Chicago offer something positive for the youth. Team up with a trade union or something. Offer junior and senior year electrical basics. There are advanced classes to earn college credits, why not trade classes that provide paid apprenticeship programs. Same with mechanical things. An autobody instruction. Small engine repair. Idk. Give the youth something to better their lives.
(You've gotta think like a democrat)
But But But: “On Tuesday, the mayor said there continues to be a downward trend in shooting deaths, shooting victims, and violent crime.
“How about local high schools in Chicago offer something positive for the youth. Team up with a trade union or something. Offer junior and senior year electrical basics.”
They tried that on the south side a few years ago.
It was mired in scandal almost from the day it opened. CPS and the CTU are criminal organizations. They’re beyond fixing.
L
But it was a mostly peaceful typical weekend in Chicago.
Media approved
Did they have actual IBEW people running the program or useless NEA ideologues? Give the unions a stake in developing new memebers and cut out the “teachers” that just want to touch and pervert the youth. Something has to be done. The status quo is a dead end.
The problem with the black community is the black community.
The things you suggested are great ideas, however it’s a well known fact that blacks attempting to better themselves are often ostracized by other blacks in their community for “acting White” or back in the old days it was called “being uppity”.
Any black people that wonder why many White folks choose not to be around them any more than necessary should look at these types of incidents as an explanation as to why.
I am a bigot based on behavior. I don’t care about skin color, what hangs or doesn’t hang between legs or surface things. I will continue to be a bigot on behavior.
Within the black community I can find many good people. Within the white community I can find the worst of the worst.
Defining problems and proper use of our speech is important. It is too easy to fall into the liberals trap of defining by race.
Heck same thing with Appalachia and the rust belt. A reason to live is needed. Badly.
Exactly. It cuts across all races and the sexes. It a people problem. Not particular to any race.
“Within the black community I can find many good people. Within the white community I can find the worst of the worst.”

Sure but don’t forget the makeup of the population.
Blacks supposedly only make up 13 to 15% of the population and yet they seem to create the majority of crime in this country.....At year-end 2022, the racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. state and federal prison population was approximately 32% Black, 31% White.
Their culture is broken and it’ll have to be repaired from within that culture......and democrats can throw all the money they want at it.....it’s not going to fix it.
