Chicago is now notorious for the murder rate it suffers, vastly out of proportion to its population when compared to New York or Los Angeles. That horrendous carnage largely is confined to a couple of locations where rival gangs are battling over control of turf for drug deals. But what of the rest of the city?
There are signs that the fragile bonds that keep people functioning in society without routine resort to violence are fraying in Chicago. There is an invisible line looming ahead, the one where people no longer assume that they can rely on the police and courts to assure them of personal safety in their daily lives, and so must resort to defensive measures, or else suffer as victims.

It sucks when you run out of other people money and police protection all at the same time.
When the EBT cards go tilt and the Cops get pink slips on the same day its going to make the Watts Riots look like a Sunday BBQ.
Heck, even Mayor Daley would be useful now.
The solution is to let Chicago, or possibly Illinois, print their own currency. Either that or just let them have their own French Revolution.
You think voting R is a going to save us? Maybe on a case-by-case basis it will delay the inevitable. When I read that a majority of people now support Sodomite “whatever” posing as marriage, we have a lot of work to do. This was at one time a Christian nation - not the govt mind you, but We The People - but the people have turned away from God. I use Christian willingness to send their children into govt schools as a measure of where we are. The ones who are willing to do that are ignorant, or foolish, or both. It is all well and good to keep Hillary from the Oval Office, but her spirit is in the hearts and minds of many, whether they know it or not.
Wasn’t Chicago the playground for traitors Barak and Valerie?
Statement: Civil order isn't "slipping away" in Chicago - it's GONE. I will tell you all that I'm so glad I have my conceal/carry because I use I carry going to work everyday.
I do NOT feel safe going into the city to work daily anymore. I work in the South Loop part of Chicago. I've been accosted more times than I can tell you by panhandlers and was once almost a victim of a mugging outside the building I work in at LaSalle St. and Jackson around 7am on a Friday morning several years ago. Were it not for the fact that I'm a pretty big guy and am very capable of defending myself the thug that tried mugging me would've gotten my wallet and gotten away. He did neither.
It was only a few months ago that five "urban youths" tried some push, bump, steal and run scam on me at State St. and Jackson (again, downtown) and were it not for the fact I had my sidearm on me and my hand on it, I would've likely ended up down on the sidewalk with them kicking the sh*t out of me.
Civil order is NOT slipping away in Chicago - it's GONE.
The South and West sides of Chicago are already mostly bombed out ghetto's. I live streamed my commute into Chicago one day on FR's Facebook Page so people could see how bad the south side of Chicago truly is with burned out buildings everywhere.
The video and comments are gone - they were however quite priceless. And yes, it's been a Democrat run city for DECADES, currently being run by Clintonista Rahm Emmanuel.
Like the "urban youths" in the hoods, I ignore those signs. I do it for my personal safety. They do it for other reasons.
Not sure what famous cafe you're talking about. I walked by that sign just the other day, I work a few blocks from it.
Most of us in Illinois who DO NOT live in Chicago would be perfectly happy if we woke up one morning and the entire city slipped into lake michigan and everyone in it drowned.
Seriously. Chicago is a blueberry in an otherwise very RED state. Most people don't believe that, but it's true.
Paging Elliot Ness.....
It still is with his friend rahm emmanual as mayor. I guess the majority of voters of chicago love to murder each other, go bankrupt or something. LOL. DIMs will be DIMs.
Offer a thousand bucks and a pair of air jordans to any teen who wants to take a free one way bus ride to Canadia.
And think of the PR coup.....as Mayor Rahm, himself, (in bullet proof vest), posts the “Gun Free” posters in high crime areas.
ROTFLOL.
No. Paging Paul Kersey.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

Plus they get the benefit of paying higher taxes. Pay more, get less. That’s the way of the Democrats.
It’s a mystery, I tells ya! Can’t think of one possible thing that could be causing this. /s
The inevitable result of government deliberately paying people not to work and to make babies so they would always be miserable and dependent on the government.
While I and FR readers are too busy doing useful and constructive things, and paying taxes through our noses, and not voting democrat, the dems are planning more ways to promise people OUR money in return for votes.
