Its how the Big Men of Chicago African American politics keep the gentrifiers out. Its not pretty but if they allow the gentrifiers in out go the Big Men for nice white lady liberal politics.

Gun Control talk in Illinois politics is pablum for the idiot libtards, it doesn’t even rise to the level of code word here. Underneath all of this violence is political power and the white libs in the state have seriously damaged the Pre-Obama Black political power base.
