If you have ever lived around Chicago in the last 10 years it‘s easy to figure out. It’s a very segregated city. Look at the pictures below of how everyone voted in both of the recent mayoral elections; pretty much all race based. I can tell you the liberals in the areas that voted for Vallas are fed up with all the crime and I can wait to see what, if anything, they do about it now that Brandon got elected by the worse neighborhoods in Chicago despite the fact none of his ideas will curb the crime problem nor fix any of the problems in those neighborhoods. It’s actually going to get worse. These kids that attacked downtown came out of the neighborhoods on the west and south side. I guarantee they rote a train or bus to get there, they don’t have cars and if they did they couldn’t afford to park as it’s cost $20-$30. People in the downtown section actually voted for Vallas. You could make a claim the race war has already started, just that those under attack have not yet begun to defend themselves. The neighborhoods on the west and south side are short on opportunities for kids for a valid reason; they have more than earned that and it’s not going to change any time soon. It’s interesting that they will ride a train to go tear up a Vallas supporting area, but won’t ride one to go to work. They don’t want and wouldn’t take advantage of opportunities if they had them, they want something for nothing. There are people in their communities who keep them all stirred up and constantly blaming others for their own problems. Brandon’s idea that they need places to congregate where their are adults it’s absurd and shows just how ignorant he is. These kids don’t have adults in their lives and many don’t have fathers as he government has made it far too profitable for a woman to have kids and claim doesn’t know the father. Where ever they congregate, there’s trouble even the police can control; these mythical adult supervisors Brandon mentioned simply don’t and never will exist.
Until crime and punishment is taken seriously, this problem will not get better. Believe me, the police sit back and let this happen because they know they would be in trouble if they did what is needed to actually keep the peace. However, I’m certain the first person who defends their property or themselves from an attack by a mob of teens will find themselves hunted down with all the resources of the Chicago Police. That woman would probably be in jail had she shot a few of them or popped the safety on a can of bear spray and hosed them down. These kids know nothing will ever happen to them, their victims are prevented from protecting themselves, and the mayor, both old and new, along with the police chief actually support them.
There will be more businesses leaving the downtown area and if the people who live there are smart, they will leave as well. Chicago is circling the drain and I see nothing that will prevent a full flush over the next 5 years……..grab your popcorn
it’s going to be in the headlines often.
