No need to travel. More homicides close to home.
I don't think at any point in history, Chicago would have been anyone's top vacation destination!Thee University said:
As of this morning there have been 864 people confirmed shot. Not shooting incidents, that's 864 hits! This is already 218 more than all of last year.
Why is this happening?
I'm new here, so could you tell me, do you live in Chicago? Is that why you're so worried about it?Thee University said:
27 shot
5 killed
Sounds like if you vacation in Chicago you need to stay out of the drive thus at McDonalds and Popeyes.
All in all that was a calm weekend in Chicago.
Problem with the guns isn't Illinois but Indiana and other states like it. They just import them from easier states to obtain them from.Thee University said:
Newbie are you?
I lived in Chicago about 5 months back in 1983. Completely different times. Loved living there back then.
I bring this up for a few reasons.
1. It has been under Democrat rule so much so that Republicans don't even bother to run for the city's highest office.
2. It is one of the most corrupt cities in America. (Home of Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel)
3. They once elected Richard Daley even when he was basically incapacitated by a stroke. (Sort of like Biden with dementia)
4. They have some of the strictest gun laws in America.
Why would I go live in a hellhole? Some places are beyond help and they don't want help anyway.
I view Chicago as what Biden & Harris and their ilk are going to take America over the next 3+ years. Would you live there?

That is true, the real issue is fatherless homes.D. C. Bear said:MaxTeller said:Problem with the guns isn't Illinois but Indiana and other states like it. They just import them from easier states to obtain them from.Thee University said:

The problem with guns isn't Illinois, it isn't Indiana, and it isn't even guns.

Baltimore, Memphis, St Louis, Detroit, Oakland, New Orleans, Philly and a host of others .....all ****holes.

Places are mostly what you make of them. Have you really spent time in all those cities, to make them **** holes?
And Chicago is a good city. Not great, its success got in its own way long ago. Its history is really interesting.
To answer, of course I'd vacation there, but I'd rather be in a national park, so it's not high on my list. Been there twice, enjoyed both trips.
That's my boy! Here's a map to help you enjoy all Chicago has to offer.BaylorBJM said:
Booked my flights for Crested Butte, Chicago and 30A today.
Really excited about the Florida beaches but probably most excited about Chicago in August along with the Cubs-White Sox game we'll be watching from the bleachers.
Great rec OP!

So do we care about actually solving the problem, or just having someone to blame?
This response completely absolves the people involved of any responsibility. "If only Republicans ran these cities it would be better"...I refuse to believe that and I say that as someone who have voted (R) just about as long as I can recall.Canon said:The problem derives from those who are to blame. Rid them of any power or control and we solve the problem. As long as Democrats are in charge of cities, they will turn them into cesspools.jupiter said:
