Crime is the least of our concerns. Many American cities have more crime than we do. Accelerating population decline and governmental dysfunction are more at the crux of our problems.

Maybe start with a less partisan source of news?

I've read these stories before. They're all written a thousand miles away by people who have never set foot in the city, who don't understand the reality on the ground, and don't care. The youth mobs they're talking about are nothing new and there are many better articles online that explain the situation better. The headline could easily have been "Despite hot spots of crime, millions of people enjoy Memorial Day weekend in Chicago with no problems whatsoever.

"Civil order is precious, and far more fragile than the progressives that run Chicago (and most big cities) understand."

Yea, it's does dang progressives that cause the problem. Jeeeeez, man, could you possibly picked a worse source to cite?

Chicago crime rate isn't even in the top 10. And then people totally ignore the suburbs and neighborhoods where all th white people live that are very safe.

Now please understand: I am not advocating you do this, but if you would like to get a sense of what it is like to wade through a sewer and if you have the stomach and the nerve: read the comment section after the article. Keep a barf bag at your side. You'll need it.
