Chicago, city in crisis

[Votto]

Chicago's murder rate keeps rising and the gangs can't be stopped

Bar none, the most violent city in the US. Statistically you would be safer in Iraq.

Immigrant Communist leaders regularly expressed disappointment at the party's ethnic composition. Organizing in Chicago's working-class neighborhoods and around its industries, Communists recruited from those areas with a disproportionate number of foreign-born workers, many of whom had connections to radical traditions. Chicago was an immigrant city, and its party reflected that character. The 1930 census shows that of 3,376,438 Chicagoans, 24.9 percent had been born in another country, while 52.3 percent of Chicago's party members were foreign-born....From available figures, it is clear that Russians, South Slavs, Lithuanians, Hungarians, and Finns were over-represented, while Poles, Germans, Italians, and Mexicans were under-represented.'

It's a mix of decades of failed dimocrat control/corruption of all aspects of city government along with the violent culture of inner city blacks and Hispanics.

Why does Chicago seem particularly bad compared to other Dim cities?

Millions of armed illegals and no guns for the citizens. What can go wrong?

They haven't successfully gentrified (white lefties pricing blacks out of the 'hood).
Chicago is a perfect example of post-great-society/affirmative action failure.
The no-daddy era of Jamaal Crow.

Bar none, the most violent city in the US. Statistically you would be safer in Iraq.

Statistically yes, but in reality the violence is virtually all contained within the south and west side black and Hispanic hoods. There are lots of nice, safe areas to live/work in throughout the rest of the city.

Although, the violence is breaking the containment zones...slowly but surely they have had shootings in wealthy democrat neighborhoods and in public places that had not seen gang shootings before......eventually the entire city will be uncontrollable....

The Mayor's son was robbed outside the mayors home...and he has police protection at the front and back of the property......
