Between political correctness run amok, utterly inept policing that’s leaving peaceful areas unprotected while trying to control the free-fire zones, and an unconscionable refusal by the city to hire more cops, downtown Chicago is coming unglued.

I refuse to go into the city any more than I absolutely have to.

What are "more cops" going to accomplish, if the thugs are back on the street before the paperwork is done? The thugs need to be taken off the streets, as a first priority.

It is very dangerous that we are losing so much of what was the American experience. We took our only trip to Chicago about ten years ago. Of course, old folks don’t much go out at night, but the trip was great. The Field Museum and Art Institute Museum were first rate as was the best Indian restaurant recommended by a cabbie. However, at the edges you could see the dangers.

In the LA riots, people couldn’t see why the looters and burners only really destroyed their oun neighborhood rather tan attack neighborhoods of those they saw as their enemies (the defense of Korea Town answered that in part). It looks as though now, they are attacking outside the ‘hood.
