Large mobs (wildings) viciously attacking and robbing people on Michigan Avenue (Baltimore, bailout)

This seems to be a phenomenon for bigger urban cities, particularly Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, basically the cities that were once industrial powerhouses.

Interesting point. Especially because there wasn't a history of slavery in the north.

As for north vs south, I'm hearing those more in Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and even other cities like Minneapolis. While I'm sure this might have happened in and around Atlanta, I'm not seeing it to the same magnitude as what is being seen in Philly, Chicago, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis. It's relatively much less compared to those cities. I'm thinking: what it is about Chicago? What it is about Milwaukee or Philadelphia? Why is this behavior happening less in Atlanta or some other southern cities? I ask because when I hear "teen mob", the biggest one I hear is Chicago, followed by Philadelphia, Milwaukee,

Probably the population density and access to public trans. That'd be my guess.

Northern states were technically free states. However, some northern states abolished slavery at different times. States like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota didn't have it to begin with. Slavery was technically abolished in New York but the last slaves were not freed until 1829.

There is a book I want you to read, or at least the excerpts.

Atlanta has MARTA and I'm not seeing this kind of behavior has much as one might see in Chicago.

Chicago is one huge liberal ghetto cesspool just one notch above Detroit.

Actually, it is the South Side that has most of the problems. I should know because I have relatives there. Some who once lived on the South Side and later moved to the North Side.

Check out the west side. It's a sewer. Austin, Lawndale, Little Village. I should know. I lived at 31st and Cicero for 30 years.

The North Side isn't some big ghetto. That was my point.

Who said it was? You said the south side has most of the problems. Stats show otherwise.
