dethkon posted:What's up with Chicago gangs? Did somebody important die or get locked up, and there's like a power vacuum? Are they fighting over heroin territory? Is there any kind of command structure at all, or is just America's Nightmare (children with guns)? tldr on Chicago: Breaking up the big gangs has led to splintered "blocks," or small scale street gangs that spring up on a specific street (e.g. 87th st. Satan's Disciples). the problem is, when the larger gangs were around the leadership was all about the money and reduced violence. If you hurt or killed an innocent you'd be dealt with internally. Now the blocks are splintered and have social media beefs. A 92nd st. Satan's Disciple member could very well have beef with one on the aforementioned 87th st. The net result is exploding violence in the south ad west sides. As a sidenote, the extreme lack of economic prospects in those neighborhoods has led to the residents coming north and robbing people in the downtown and northside. Cue scared white people. Had a friend get killed under the red line at belmont (near wrigley field) for $15 and an iPhone. His murderer was out on bail for assault on a peace officer with a machete.

Immortan posted:Oh boy, we can't break up gangs too big to fail! Hahaha, that's the best response I've heard yet. Naw I think it was step in the right direction. The real answer probably lies in a very expensive, successful social program combined with some type of hard drug legalization/recovery scheme.

ChesterJT posted:YTD Shot & Killed: 1404 (219killed/1185wounded) Lol, these other commenters are morons. Suspects have taken to running and shooting back at police. The sentences imposed here mean they will be out in 2-3 years if not given probation, so whats to lose by letting loose with the chopper (gun in white people speak). There are racist cops, we can only look to John Burge to prove that, just don't buy in to all the media's reports. The last fellow killed by a police officer here had many Facebook photos posing with guns, but instead his junior high graduation picture was used for national media. The outlets that picked it up here had no problem showing his gang affiliation.

Microwaves Mom posted:I take the redline a lot and its fine north of chinatown. It smells like piss and it has bums here and there but its fine. Even worse, he's saying the gold coast, river north, old town, and lakeview. Please never leave your safe suburb, or highly guarded doorman building.

Maybe give some of the guns to those guys, trim down the parade line? Hahahaha the Puerto Rican parade. You have a better chance of catching a bullet there than eating elotes.
