I guess Trump really has made America great again.

Right, R1 - no violence PRE-Trump.

Chicago has been a shithole for quite a while . Way before Trump came along

Stupid to blame it on Trump

OP your headline is disgusting.

Bet everyone involved is black.

The majority of these crimes are in one specific area and usually gang related. It doesn't effect the greater Chicago area.

[quote]The majority of these crimes are in one specific area and usually gang related. It doesn't effect the greater Chicago area.

A Chicago radio host said last week that shootings, muggings and other street crimes are encroaching on his neighborhood. "I'm not going to tell you where I live, but let's just say I pay a lot of taxes. A LOT of taxes." He said he's never seen it like this in all the time he's lived there.

Twenty six shootings is a lot for a February weekend -- the cold usually tamps down criminal behavior.

Blacks destroyed Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore and St. Louis. I wonder if this is an african-american problem or a black problem. Are black africans as bad as african-americans?

Here's a handy spreadsheet. Check to see if your city is turning into a hellhole:

Even the 'L' trains are crime-infested. Shootings and muggings right at the downtown stations, even during the day.

The black race is disastrous.

Chicago politicians are afraid of implementing aggressive measures that may be potentially viewed as racist.

I wonder who did the shooting, as if I need to wonder.

First this, then the subway is full of murders and stabbings

Then the lesbonic mayor has the nerve to say "They are targeted so the public needn't be concerned."

And that alone says what we all know

R9 is interesting. And contradicts all the racist trolls here. Chicago crime is the same as Minneapolis and Houston. I never knew Minneapolis had much crime.

Just like NYC in the early 90s when the media was saying how horribly dangerous it was - never had a problem. Crime is concentrated in poor neighborhoods. At least Chicago is affordable. My bigger concern would be taxes - but that’s true of every attractive city.

Do people say this racist shit around here for shock value or are they fucking serious?

by Anonymousreply 15February 19, 2020 3:12 PM

I am serious. Go live in Africa if you love blacks so much.

Look at the Caribbean countries. The problem is rooted in Africa and race based.

What is it about the internet that brings out the needy attention whores who troll for attention. Like it taps into an undercurrent of crazies - what did they do be for the internet?
