Part of the problem in Chicago is there’s a systemic problem.
I won’t go into a slew of details, but just to give an example:
The inner cities have always had a problem w/ “funding” for after the school programs, schools, businesses, police, etc. Yet, Mayor Lightfoot have proposed a multi billion dollar project to put a dome over Soldier Field to keep The Bears. Lmao Where did that $$ come from when the city have had “fiscal” issues when it comes to inner cities?
The other problem are gang leaders, who were also activist & revolutionist began serving huge amounts of time. The infrastructure in Chicago Gangs is a hierarchical set up. Those voids left voiceless leaders, allowing youngsters to start moving how they want. Alliances under Folk & People didn’t mean chit.
Finally; the closing down of housing units pushed rivals w/in mere streets of each other vs. neighborhoods. Ur enemy can be right around the corner from u vs. a whole neighborhood away. So it’s real easy to have 3 to 5 retaliations in one day, leading to a loss of 5-10 ppl that quick.
Guys in Chicago r so hungry & thirsty. The most petty, non confrontational argument leads to senseless deaths & that creates a chain reaction. They don’t care if u w/ ur mom, child, ur girl; they live to “take out an opp” in broad day. That mentality has spilled over to a lot of other cities who became infatuated w Chiraq. In L.A, u ain’t never heard of reckless behavior in the day time or in front of a child/children. Dirt happened at night/early morning. Now? It’s safer at night than the day b/c of clout.
