No, but I've always been puzzled how Chicago can have so many shootings year after year and no one seems to care.I just started a blog on WordPress, I'm new at it. I'll get better and let you know. You from Chicago?
Some people care. But some people care in different ways. Everybody has a different idea of why it happens, everybody likes to point the fingers. Everybody has a rationale. I don't actually try to find the logic to that through my interviews, I just get perspectives that may form one opinion or another wow not directly focusing on that.No, but I've always been puzzled how Chicago can have so many shootings year after year and no one seems to care.
I don't get a lot of traffic on my channels because I don't try to use politics or clickbait of who got shot and who to point the fingers at. But I don't care.No, but I've always been puzzled how Chicago can have so many shootings year after year and no one seems to care.
Is there a recurring theme you hear in your interviews or do you get a spectrum of opinions?Some people care. But some people care in different ways.

On the south side of Chicago where I'm from, and most neighborhoods kids tell me they don't go outside because it's too dangerous. A lot of young adults don't go outside too much because it's too dangerous. Crime is down because it's too dangerous outside and nobody goes outside no more like they used to otherwise they'll go to the suburbs or to a better neighborhood while sometimes bringing crime there. The majority of people say it's dangerous. Very few people give any insight and say it's not dangerous.Is there a recurring theme you hear in your interviews or do you get a spectrum of opinions?
A lot of people do not want to be on video so sometimes they're okay with just audio alone. I started doing that lately. And I started the WordPress site so I can write about what people told me, because I think some of their stories are really interesting. I know the writing that I do will be nothing close to the personalities and interesting stories that they told but I still try to put it out there. I'll try to write something every day on that site, since I just came up with the idea but I have a thousand stories that people have told me that I don't want to forget. So be itIs there a recurring theme you hear in your interviews or do you get a spectrum of opinions?
No, but the occasional troll has come through who'd rather insult and flame people with vulgarities than have a discussion.
Did you run into bad, bad, Leroy Brown?On the south side of Chicago where I'm from, and most neighborhoods kids tell me they don't go outside because it's too dangerous.

Mods?I'm not naming names but mods in the past have been guilty of this too.
That's a song from the '70s. The South Side was actually very nice and most of the neighborhoods that I've lived in up until the 90s when it started getting weird, then the 2000s forget about it. The Mexicans and Venezuelans are cleaning up some of the neighborhoods but bringing along the narcos and Venezuelans, prostitutes and drugs, so things are getting slightly safer a little bit in a different way. But the South Side was mostly good when I was a kid. We would play in the streets and all the cars down the street would have their Windows left open overnight. A lot of people would sleep with their front doors open. None of that stuff happens anymore to the extent it did. It probably never will again in Chicago land area at least.Did you run into bad, bad, Leroy Brown?
Mods?
Nope. Given I'm the newbie, I've been put in charge of digging the holes.Yes. They're not always so innocent either. Just saying.

Nope. I wouldn't subscribe to such arrogance.Well I trust you as I've always liked you but I'm glad that you acknowledge the fact that mods aren't perfect either.![]()
Chicago is nice, if you know what you're looking for or know where you're going there, but like most cities, there's really cool stuff everywhere you go, if you look hard enough.Greetings and salutations.
I have never been anywhere near Chicago.
He's looking at me!Now children behave!![]()
