I know this isn't overly profound but I'm really afraid this is going to lead to some pretty awful stuff.

I like how the map is a pixelated screenshot from Google Maps. At least it's not a photograph of a computer screen set to that website.

Well, if we can get through next month, it'll blow over. Then it'll start to get cooler outside and things will die down. ( no pun intended.)

Chicago will turn into detroit if the crime isnt dealt with ill Guarentee that. If you dont kill the crime the fall of Chicago is just ticking down. Its now or never is all i have to say.

Dude get off your soapbox. You people in Indianapolis have trouble on your hands too and can fall just as fast as Chicago. You are not safe there either if it hits the fan there.

I live in lakeview, and I have talked to 8 different people this weekend, all of whom are very concerned about the weird street crime going on here and all of them say that if a year from now, if things have not improved, they will leave Lakeview, and possibly Chicago, if they have to.

If these flash mobs and street crimes (which seem almost organized on some level, like a strange type of guerilla warfare against the middle class) do not end, Chicago could very well start to fall hard and fast.

You have a morbid fascination with the crime rate in Chicago, as if it's sooo much lower in Indianapolis. You've got enough trouble in your own house that you really shouldn't be concerning yourself about what's going on elsewhere.
