Anyway, I know the gangs are a little different these days, but do you think something like what took place in the 70s could be done?, where they go in and arrest the gang leaders? Do you think this would have as great of an effect as it did back then?
If your speaking of Chicago, No. This have been done multiple times since the 60s. It just added to the prison control they have now.
St Louis and Chicago I think have the most ruthless and sociopathic killers in the nation- men, women, children, toddlers- no one is spared from their sociopathic violence. They don't seem to give a damn whatsoever who they kill or injure.
I don't know if any specific place is the "worst" for that. In Chicago it's actually fairly skewed to certain groups.
For instance only 0.7% of murder victims are 12 years old or younger.
6.7% of murder victims are between the ages of 13-18. 92.6% were adults.
81% of homicide victims were male.
66% of murder victims were black males. (around 400,000 population)
13% of homicide vicitims were hispanic (around 800,000 population)
4% of homicide victims were white or asian (around 1,100,000 population)

Admittedly I based this on my perception rather than hard stats. But for what it's worth, 8 out of the last 25 "mass shootings" (defined as 4+ people shot in a single incident), at the time of me writing this, have been in Chicago. Which seems to lend some degree of validity to my perception of Chicago gunmen being particularly careless about who they kill or injure.

This is why I am saying that Chicago is not a dangerous city... Just look at the victimhood, 1/6th of the population has 66% of the homicides victims and I am sure that pretty much all of those victims were involved in crime. So if you are not "in the game" you are pretty safe... Safe but rude and non welcoming because my small stop to Chicago airport made me feel like Chicagoan are just rude, mean and non welcoming

What better way to judge an entire city of 2.7 million people than by the small amount of workers at an airport. I know that's the best way to judge a city with a few million inhabitants.

I'm not offended. I'm just pointing out that generalizing a group of people on only a few in the group is highly ignorant and naive. It doesn't matter what group whether it's race, religion, geography, etc... it's a ridiculous idea to express.
