20 shot in Chicago overnight; fwiw no arrests have been made.

The boys were standing on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of South Independence Boulevard in the West Side’s Lawndale neighborhood when they heard gunfire, police said. They were about a block from the gas station at Roosevelt Road and Independence.
The 15-year-old was grazed in the head, and the 17-year-old was shot in the abdomen. They took themselves to Mount Sinai Hospital where they were both in good condition.
“Chicago is a scary place to be,” Hines said. “Even I’m scared to walk to the corner store.”
The boys were among 20 people shot Friday and early Saturday, one of them fatally. Three other juveniles were wounded in attacks in the city, including a 12-year-old girl.
The shootings come as the department adds 600 officers to patrol the streets this weekend in the districts most affected by gun violence following the city’s most violent weekend in more than two years.
At least 74 people were shot last weekend between 3 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Monday, 12 of them fatally.

I think the cops only go to give the EMT workers cover. Progressive utopia bearing fruit.

There appears to be entire sub-cultures in the U.S. that
have no knowledge of the past, and no ambition for the future.

The violence you see in these cities is comparable to urban areas with similar demographics in Brazil and Africa, it’s mostly genetic.

That and to document the crime scene and bag up the bodies and call it a day.
Cops in the hood are essentially just clean up crews and a trap for the occasional thug that's stupid enough to get caught.

How is that progressive Utopia and also explain how conservative politics would fix this situation. I'll be waiting.

Democrats have been in charge of Chicago for how many decades? They keep saying how their policies will fix things yet it never seems to come true.

I bet they would focus on the criminal element and try to get people working for a living. You know, attacking the root causes of the violence instead of playing the blame game that ignorant, uneducated clowns like you seem to favor.

Intellectual cowards like you tend not to hang around in these threads.

Why don't you explain why forever dem leadership has not done anything to protect the innocent in Chicago?

Because somehow more people would be arrested for murder? That's just asinine. It would literally be the same as it is. And I love your little diatribe about getting these people working again. They would be more poor than they already are by the time you're done with them and then you would say "its not my problem," as usual. Then pooree people would start moving towards richer neighborhoods to rob them and you would be scared shitless.

Sooner or later, they will have killed everyone.

Because them dumb blacks can’t work good and need your white help. Right? fricking racist scum.

Were it not for these updates, I’d never know.
I feel 100% safe walking around my neighborhood at any and all hours.
The city is so absurdly segregated.

That is literally what your side is saying right now. You are so fricking stupid and your obsession with black people is starting to get a little weird.

Based on what? Imaginary data you people keep pulling from your asses? Comical the ignorant assertions you keep making...

Again, no data and you ignore 40 years of Democrat leadership and "progressive" policies that have proven to be failures. Just more ignorance from you which is very typical of your style of posting....

I'll explain it as soon as you can tell me why the lowest education levels are in Republican states. You don't really have to answer that the point is that people are people and pretending like one party is responsible for an entire poor inner-city culture is just ludicrous. What have you done to help the disadvantaged in terms of education and all of those Southern States? How has crime been controlled in Mississippi?
You guys have way more examples of neglect and it's starting to get a little weird how much you keep focusing on inner city Chicago
