In a normal place, you’d just set up massive roadblocks....street after street, from 9 PM on (treat everyone like it was Baghdad). You’d start curfew action. Then you’d drag in the city council and agree on complete prosecution....20-year sentences and if judges/prosecutors weren’t capable of handling it...you’d just fire them.
Twenty years for breaking curfew?

The Chicago police developed a profile of the murder victims. It was amazing information...so good, if fact, that they could predict with good accuracy WHO was going to be murdered. I have only seen one article on this astonishing tool...and, as I describe it you’ll see that the tool goes against the political narrative that these are ordinary, honest Chicago citizens being murdered. They aren’t.
Certainly, on occasions, ordinary citizens are hurt. Probably a lot of them. But the bulk of those injured and those killed are criminals. They are mostly not white. Gang membership in this elite cadre is very high. Now, on to predicting who will be murdered. This is from memory and so may not be a complete list. For every question that is a yes, the person gets a point. For the numbers mentioned, that person gets additional points. Were you arrested while of for committing a violent crime? You get a point. Were there more people arrested with you or for the same crime? A point for each additional person. Are you involved in the drug trade? How many times have you been arrested total? (Point for each.) I know there were more questions, but I can’t recall them.
What did the police do with this information? They set up a program to call and notifiy potential corpses in advance of being corpses that their score had reached a point where the majority of corpses were when they achieved corpse status. I could find not follow-up article when I last searched to see how successful this program was. My guess is it was so unsuccessful that they cancelled.
You have to understand the psychology of people living the lifestyle of being pre-corpses. It’s like the old saying, “To a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail.” To the gangsta emersed in the Chicago gang culture, the entire world looks like the other side’s gang. Absolutely, a lot of “uninvolved” people are shot. But they chose to live among and associate with the gang culture. Either they use its services…drugs, sex, loans, or they live in the same buildings knowing who the neighbors are.
The reasons this problem hasn’t been solved are, the politicians and the media are trying to make this problem a criticism of the dominant culture, which has no relation to the problem at all. Most of the people are *cough, choke* “of color” and the politicians and the media don’t care about them except for votes and clicks, respectively. And, in the liberal mind, all cultures are equal…meaning no effort can be made to change this culture to one of non-violence. Also, I’m guessing that the gang culture generates quite a bit of revenue for someone, and that someone doesn’t want the revenue to go away. Thus they support a political party that guarantees the gang culture continues.
Good luck with that. Kim Foxx is not going to put her bros and hoes in jail.
