I posted nothing to the contrary.

Prior to 2013, C/C was banned in the entire state. Nothing unique to Chicago.

C/C in the state requires a permit, as it does in most states.

Lol, go in safely? Boy did you have a false sense of security. I work on the north side of my city where the majority of the crime occurs. It is a HUGE advantage to be a white female there, they will never mess with you. I would never put my black coworker in that area because he WILL get messed with & his safety would be in danger.

We should respond by doing something truly meaningful ... like kicking Alex Jones off of Twitter or banning Lauren Southern from entering the United States. That'll fix everything!

There are parts of Los Angeles where if a Black person went there, he or she might get killed, especially many parts of East Los Angeles.

Police brutality and Black on Black violence are two different issues. BLM is about police brutality. This is why I don't expect BLM to talk about Black on Black violence. Those that do protest against Black on Black violence, who actually do care, they do not get much recognition. I don't expect Whoopi to talk about it. I don't watch The View either.

It's only when black people in Chicago decide they've had enough of blaming the cops and realise that blacks killing blacks is a lot more serious problem than cops killing the occasional black person.
In the meantime you carry on with your head in the sand.
Once again, all complaints, no genuine concern for the causes violence, and no ideas , solutions, or even going to the area to try and find a solution. Just hot air on a forum. Getting absolutely nothing done, just like the people there killing themselves. Just frothing yourself up.

You just like to complain about black people. Just admit it.

Agreed. This is what I have been talking about. I get if someone has a true concern. However, I feel like the #1 time Black on Black murder or Black crime gets mentioned is as a mechanism to complain about Black people.

That is because it is 100% true. Trust your gut.

And for those reading this, Green Mariner is one of the nicest people on this site. Has bared his heart about his own struggles, and never attacked anyone.

The same cannot be said for me.

Several places in KC and St Louis where a white person should steer clear of. My employee grew up in a KC gang area.
