That's an illegal gun problem.

40 shootings as of this morning. Some people would consider this a war zone.

Police promise more patrols as West Side bears brunt of Memorial Day gun violence - Chicago Tribune

40 shootings in less than 48 hours?! IMHO that IS a "war zone".

It doesn't. That's the point. Wealthy, White, homogenous area's are more sucessful.

Why aren't the BLM people gathering in Chicago this weekend? They should be there in the West Side area carrying signs and protesting and trying to prevent black on black violence.

Hope it isn't so bad.


But random, why do people seem so obsessed with Chicago on this forum?

Why isn't anyone paying attention to the fact that the punishment for Black on Black murder tends to be relatively lighter than if a White person gets murdered? Last time I checked, Blacks get murdered more than anyone else. 75% of executions, however, are carried out against murderers who killed Whites.
