You need a Political based Movement. And a change in media. Not a crackdown in law enforcement. Do you understand some of the reasons why we just had riots???
I think the media and rich people have some of you all's perspectives skewed.
Your answer to my question seemed to just focus on positive things you feel about it. So my request to put bias aside seems to not have been given credence.
Heck now that I think about it, aside from the infamous "Daily machine", hasn't IL had 6 governors charged with crimes, and 4 served or are serving prison time?
How does one explain such a crazy stat?

What does that have to do with me? Are you not American? Is the city not in your country?
How do YOU explain that stat??
I really don't get what point your making. Yes our government is corrupt as in your government too.
It would just seem like the city voters would be up in arms and demanding more done to stop the violence. this is worse than the 20's mob wars. It needs crackdown in law enforcement not a political issue based movement. Any party interested in drawing street thug votes means something is wrong with that parties stances. We see one incident in Waco and 200 arrest not just the shooters and RICO being enforced there. We need a investigation under RICO against criminal gangs there and in the riots. People don't just show up from NY and California on their own. This DOJ just seems disinterested I anything but never letting a crisis be wasted politically. Obama seems to careless about the violence and enforcing the laws.
All of the shootings happen in marginalized areas, so basically no one cares except the people that live there. I live downtown and the shootings have exactly no impact on me. The residents of these areas do protest the shootings, but the protests are peaceful and receive little attention.
Chicago and pretty much anywhere else in the US cant do much about gang shootings and retaliation shootings, as the police cant possibly be everywhere 24/7. They can place more cops out there, but unless there is a cop at every single block, you cant stop these wild shootings they have.
Instead of blaming the people living in fear all the time, how about blaming the politicians and the media. The ones getting paid to address those types of problems.
You haven't even demonstrated that "The Movement" is really nothing more than "A Figment" of someone's imagination.
Not to mention every time I read "TheMovement" here it brings to mind bowel movement. I think the name was poorly conceived as a quick search online does not bring up this great movement.
