Sorry. But I do not feel sorry for the people of Chicago. They elected these bums, thus they have to suffer under them. Those who did not vote for them are the few that are suffering because of it. But the stinking liberals have owned that city since Al went to jail. So, they get what they asked for.

Detroit is armed. Between the voluntary evacuation and armed citizenry Detroit is pretty quiet these days.

Just south of the Chicago city limits in suburb of Dolton, more gunfire early this morning, also.

This is where my parents bought their first home. We lived there until I was 12. White flight happened in the 70s. We used to keep our doors unlocked, kids would play til the sun set outside in summer. I am so sad to see what has become of my neighborhood.
