Chicago lets the bad areas police themselves more or less. Gang members killing gang members with acceptable collateral damage levels.
Do you really think Edward or people who think like him really care about poor Blacks killing other poor Blacks?? Do you really think people spend more than 5 seconds thinking about this??

I've lived in neighborhoods like that, very few people outside of those neighborhoods care, the OP is no exception. Crocodile tears. He uses the murder rate to rant against Blacks.

I live in Chicago, I grew up on the South and West sides, I have friends who live on the West side. What do you know about any of this violence?? Nothing except what you read in the papers. Does't affect you or anyone you know in suburbia.

If you really cared, you and your anti-Black cohorts should do something about it. Join the guardian angels and come to Chicago and patrol the streets. Otherwise you are just puffing your chest and whining. You offer zero solutions, just more Black bashing.
Ironically you come off as more indifferent and unconcerned since you fail to see a problem in your own backyard. Dead Blacks aren't a concern unless they start robbing folks along Michigan Ave.

So in you warped world view individuals can only comment on events if they happen to you personally? So how has Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh impacted you personally? Your obsession with these two indiviuals has been documented before.

I'm sure Edward cares as much about the violence in Chicago (largely impacting just the poor and minorities)....just as much as Mayor D did.

No doubt Rahm Emanuel whom was given the mayorship (in exchange for the white house COS job he traded to Bill Daley) will change the cities practice of isolating poor areas and targeted police action (of nice areas).

The peoples republic of Chicago. I'd suggest you try to vote for change there but you can't.

Well it's clear you don't care, disingenous white liberal.

I agree with most of what you said except the joining the guardian angels, they themselves are just as bad and create more problems.

Never said you couldn't comment, just stated the obvious, that you really dislike and love to rip on a segment of the population, just the same way I love to rip on Palin and Limbaugh. The same way you post threads about Blacks to ridicule them, I post threads to ridicule Limbaugh. Are you done hijacking your own thread or you want some more???
