Nightmare in America’s Cities
PJ Media ^ | 28 July 2025 | Aaron Hanscom

“Chicago’s Worst Hoods at Night!”

"Chicago Gangs, Alleys and Guns at Night"

"Top 10 US Cities With the Most Dangerous Nighttime Vibe While Walking That I Have Visited"

I picked these titles at random from the popular YouTube channel of Charlie Moore, a former Detroit cop who films his drives through inner city urban areas. The Atlantic characterized these journeys as “hood safaris,” implying that it’s racist to document the unfathomable danger the residents of our most crime-ridden cities face every day, even though Moore himself is black. I challenge anyone to watch just one of these videos and not instead ask: How have we allowed parts of cities like Chicago to become more dangerous than actual war zones?

Although Barack Obama was not in the audience at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on July 23, during a conversation about Fox News contributor Gianno Caldwell's new book, "The Day My Brother Was Murdered: My Journey Through America’s Violent Crime Crisis," Caldwell directed a related question to the former president:

You’re from Chicago. You lived there for many, many years. You were president for eight years. How many times did he talk about Chicago and fixing the issues that exist there? We didn’t really hear him talk about that. Why? Why is that the case?

One must assume that the question is rhetorical. Anyone that has been paying attention already knows the answer to that "why". Because Obama is part of the problem and a member of the group of cretins that create the problems. Deep State, radical left, communists, progressives... whatever you want to call it. I call it the cabal of evil that has afflicted this nation for over a generation, and that is ramping up to what I can only imagine will be a 'spectacular' culminating end of America as founded. The only thing holding them back right now is Trump's presidency. After that, the skyHell's the limit.

My theory is that they want inner cities to languish and decend into lawlessness, not because it’s a difficult problem to solve, but because it serves a long term purpose. The crime may not be as disorganized and chaotic as it appears. If I am right, it will take on a more organized structure with time.

“”“You’re from Chicago.”

Yeah, that part is pretty funny. Caldwell probably just meant “politically speaking”... since Obama started out in Chicago ... and as more than just a Senator... a la Man’s Country Bath House.

Have people wear 360-degree infrared and visual cameras to send images say every second or so.

These images can be sent over the internet for storage.

Also, local cellphone signals can be monitored. If a guy is visible but generates no associated cellphone signal, the camera might beep.

Person above a legally specified height or age might be required to carry in the city during the nighttime an operable cellphone traceable to them.

There is also the matter of the welfare system being detrimental to ‘urban’ family formation and maintenance.

The education system also fails to prepare lots of young males for normal economic life.

There is also the matter of copyright law protecting video and audio trash that leads American youth astray.

There are cheap ways of punishing people.

Penalty time rooms would allow people to both maintain a job and serve time by sitting in a room.

And there is the Asian cangue:

You have 72 hours to agree to penalty room time by spending your first eight hours of penalty time in one of our penalty rooms, or your case will be handled by the DA and you can face jail.

A penalty time room system eliminates the need to provide a public defender, judge, health care and food to an offender. The offender can keep his/her regular job as well.

A shoplifter might have to spend eight hours plus one hour per ten dollars of goods stolen in program penalty time room within say 30 to 60 days of arrest.

It will only get worse because the solutions are distasteful to normals.

Social re-education camps of urban youth and parents, for example. Not Khmer Rouge or gulag level camps, but Cultural Revolution-lite might be useful.

But that’s a pipe dream.

Interesting

I think we all agree that violence, and the poverty / ghetto-culture behind it, do serve Democrat Party interests.

I agree it will become more organized as well, as nature simply abhors a vacuum and stronger criminal elements will take charge. They probably have, often aligned with international cartels, and media doesn't reveal it to us.

Are you saying Democrats will specifically align with the strongest mobsters to control their cities, much like we see in Mexico?

America’s cities are a disaster. There is massive unemployment and crime.

The democrats actually like it that way. It gives them an excuse to claim that there is wide income disparity due to discrimination by Whites, and justifies taking more money from those who work and giving it to those who don’t.

That always puzzles me because the black vote reversed itself permanently from republican to democrat in the 1936 election and ever since.
