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.

40 to 45 shot in Chicago this weekend. 5 killed.

Closing in on 200 homicides just 4 months into the year.

So far this year 1040 people have been shot and 195 killed.

The good news you ask???? Car jackings are down 55%

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 don't think at any point in history, Chicago would have been anyone's top vacation destination!

Were you thinking of going there? I would recommend somewhere in Florida or maybe the Rockies. I would stay away from urban areas in general. They tend to be noisy, even if there isn't any shooting.

I'm new here, so could you tell me, do you live in Chicago? Is that why you're so worried about it?

If you don't live there and you're heart is burdened for it, maybe you could go up there and so some volunteer help with the poor. That might help!

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?

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.

Its not just Chicago.

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.

Have been in them all except Baltimore ......and there is no reason whatsoever to go there.

The people in those cities have made them **** holes....elections have consequences .

Been in almost every National Park and National Monument west of the Mississippi. River...often several times each .

Favorite National Park----Glacier

Favorite National Monument --- Dinosaur

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!

Chicago is a pretty awesome city... was actually considering a short trip there in the coming months

You might want to reconsider there Larry

Since June 12, 2021, numerous more homicides have occurred in the city.

For example, four were fatally shot Tuesday, June 15, five were killed over Father's Day weekend, and seven were shot and killed on Monday, June 21.

In total, including the figures reported by the Tribune, at least 310 people have been killed in Chicago January 1, 2021, through June 21, 2021.

Thus far, Mayor Lightfoot's response has been to call for more gun control.

Chicago is such a beautiful city. There are just a couple of parts of town that are a problem.

I love Chicago. All that crap is on the West Side. Not where I stay. Chicago is one of America's great cities. NYC without the attitude .

I used to live there. It is a bona fide ****hole.
Indeed....Chicago is a bona fide ****hole.


However so are..........

Detroit
Baltimore
Memphis
Oakland
New Orleans
St Louis
Philly
LA
NYC



The American dream is dead .

Happened so gradually most haven't even noticed the corpse.

So do we care about actually solving the problem, or just having someone to blame?

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.

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.

Do some policies play a role? Of course they do.

The 2021 Worst Places list is:
Memphis, TN
Jackson, MS
Dayton, OH
Brownsville, TX
Detroit, MI
Cleveland, OH
Tulsa, OK
San Bernardino, CA
Shreveport, LA
Springfield, MO

It isnt like Democrats took over the city via force. They were elected by the populace. Ask yourself why or how. What has caused those voters to vote that way?

I can also tell you from first hand experience (having spent a decent amount of time in Cleveland, Detroit, Brownsville, Tulsa, Dayton and San Bernardino) that all of these cities are being defined by relatively small parts of town. I live in Cleveland and I am in Detroit multiple times a year...both are pretty fantastic places...both have areas you probably shouldnt go to. My experience has been that most of the people living in those parts of town dont want to live there either; they simply dont have much choice.

I leave you with Ice-T Escape From The Killing Fields:
I recognize when mind techniques are being played
It's a plot they use to keep down another
Here comes another brainwashed brother...

"Yo man, it sounds like you're selling out to me, 'cause I'm from the ghetto; I lived in the ghetto all my life!
We ain't supposed to leave here! We're black! We're supposed to be poor!"

Shut up! Do you know how dumb you sound?
That mentality's what keeps my people down!
No one wants to live in an urban war
You live there cause your parents were poor
They live there because theirs were also
Get yourself together, hit the gates bro!

Law enforcement. One party engages in it (Giuliani's NYC) and one party doesn't (De Blasio's NYC). People are going to make personal choices. Where leaders make a difference is when they actually enforce laws strictly or they don't. Democrats don't.
