Maybe if Chicago had stricter gun laws it wouldn’t be so violent. /liberal
It must be the fault of all the Republicans inner-city blacks keep voting for.
Good point. Maybe if they gained some sense and started voting Democrat, things would be taken care of in a jiffy.
Crime might be down because of the record number of criminals currently behind bars.
Cities have always been places of violence. Even in the biblical times they were dens of thuggery, thievery, and depravity. Its in human nature and won’t be changed.
The best thing you can do to ease the level of violence is to let all people defend themselves as they must. Its why the crime rate is in free fall in Detroit. Open carry and a police chief who encourages people to defend themselves.
“Crime might be down because of the record number of criminals currently behind bars.”
A lot of them have moved North to Milwaukeestan, Madistan and the Twin Cities in search of new ‘members’ and victims. (I couldn’t think of how to add, ‘stan’ to Twin Cities.) Welcomed with open arms from idiot liberals in those cities, I might add!
Three summers ago, my little Cow Town of 8K souls had two rival gangs shooting at one another at 2pm in the afternoon, near an Elementary School while the kids were on recess.
180 shells picked up by the cops, afterwards. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!
Didn’t change our stupid local sheriff’s opinion on gun control one tiny bit. He’s still for disarming the lawful.
We live in Upside down World!
Chapman has taken the leap from ideological to delusional which admittedly, for a far left liberal, is a thin line.
Lord knows we wouldn’t want to hold blacks themselves responsible for what they do.
With all due respect to loyal FReepers who live in the area, Chacago is a pit.
Joke I heard last week:
Q: What’s the number one advantage of living in Chicago?
A: You have someplace to move away from.
Lots o’ places could be subbed for Chicago. Detroit, NYC, etc.
SOme magic words in this:
“Per capita” - red flag that the stats about to be shown are B.S.
Crime is down because the cops are **lying** about the crime - oops, that was too harsh. “Properly classifying” the crime. If you didn’t see you car ripped of, how do you know it was just towed?
Chicago, our very own Banana Republic in the heartland...
No, thanks. Try selling this swill to someone who might believe it.
Nothing can be done for the black underclass that is either constitutional or what is considered moral. But nevertheless, the black underclass costs the country half a trillion to a trillion dollars a year in crime and welfare. No amount of programs or appeals to join the national family will help.
No one has the guts to mention that leftist policies has turned blacks from relatively law-abiding folks with cohesive families into welfare, dysfunctional, pro-black and Muslim ideology, and gang magnets.
Chicago has plenty of shootings, but few aimings and fewer hittings. Occasionally someone does get hit by a stray bullet, but gang members are more interested in looking tough, talking trash and acting tough. They like to wave a gun around and sometimes it goes off.
Its kind of like the politicians that like to talk like they’re against this and against that, shoot their mouth off, and occasionally pass a bill; but rarely actually hit their mark. Think of all those jobs programs, the war on drugs, the war on poverty, affordable health care...
The inner cities are the Democrat black plantations. Until these slaves of the welfare class are freed from Democrat politics, it’s only gonna get worse.
Unless you think pits have nice restaurants, and museums.
Translation: Segregation works for the non-criminal class because the black criminal class mostly preys upon other black people.
I bet he never meant to say THAT! Lemme think on that a minute...
Re: “Chicago has a lot of areas that are almost entirely black — the result of decades of deliberate policies of racial segregation.”
Bunk!
Both sides of my family lived within a few blocks of the University of Chicago from 1900-1960.
We were the only Germans in an overwhelmingly Irish neighborhood.
In 1960, all four of my grandparents gave up on the place they had lived their entire lives and moved to the suburbs.
Because their old neighborhood was being overrun by Blacks and the crime rate that comes with them.
Attorney General Holder is releasing 46,000 “non-violent” drug offenders.
Welcome Back, Mr. Kotter!
Because their old neighborhood was being overrun by Blacks and the crime rate that comes with them.
In 1961 my (late) neighbors did the same thing . . . for the same reasons. Funny thing, I know for a FACT that at least 2 of them were made members of the "Chicago Outfit".
