Took a long weekend trip to Chicago in 2011 and had a great time. Great food city.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
 

I was there in 2005 taking a course with USA Track & Field when the Red Sox were playing the Cubs for the first time since 1918. I geeked out at the chance to go to Wrigley to watch and paid way more for tickets than I should have but worth it till this day if you ask me.

Lol 18 murdered in a single day in a US city and nobody gives a flying fuck and nobody should...got it.

Yet a some bullshit 75 year old gets pushed down after he put his hands on a cop = panties in a bunch.

Lol amazing

[quote=Chico23231;1252754]Outside of ABC New and obviously Chicago media, it’s purposely not covered by mainstream media. Everyone knows why, it’s no great secret.

Chicago is a shithole, run by Democrat trash for years. Go read the crimes and about the victims. The folks committing these acts should be vilified and called out, most are kids. What kinda trash raises kids like this?[/quote]

Is this mainstream enough?

It's obviously a big problem there not sure what else to say, gun violence has been a problem there for years now.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
 

Chicago is a shit hole right now. No doubt. When I see shit like that the change has to come from the community. They have to stop relying on politicians to fix everything for them and have ownership in their community. You can't complain about gang activity and then not help the police if you have information about gang related violence. It is not a one way street.
The way I see it is different from you though.

Citizen on citizen murder is sad. When those we trust with power to protect us hurt citizens that makes me angry.

NYT didn’t run an article, that’s from 2019. Yahoo Didn’t write one...pushed one from National Review. BBC isn’t mainstream media. It’s not being covered...

If it was a single person killing 18...top news story in the world. A cop killed one, larger coverage. A racial element of a white guy shooting a black guy...big story.

I would bet 18 murders single day in separate incidents in a city...is this a record?

We have to acknowledge a blindspot in the media and political narrative.

And what really gets me angry, 2 18 girls shot and killed who were college students. Trying to do the right way, seeking higher education to better themselves...it’s ashamed. Folks should be marching for these 2.

So what. Who the hell cares? Do you think everybody should follow and care about all the same things you do?

Given the fact gun violence has been a long running problem in Chicago it's not hard to see why it's not exactly a red hot topic. Not saying that's right.

Feel free to not respond in the future if something doesn't interest you. It's how this message board thing works.

I think rubber bullets need to be banned.

The pepper balls sound much more non-lethal.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
 

^^^^^

Damn, had no idea those things fucked you up like that. That is some serious damage.

Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
 

I read that at least 8 people have lost eyes due to rubber bullets and cops are apparently aiming for the head

I'm not the protesting type anyways, but definitely ain't going anywhere near where cops are using those.

Read an article where some guy got shot in the testicle and had to have emergency surgery.

Not sure what the answer is, but there has to be a better option. I'd rather be tased than shot with one of those.
