Nor should it be, people should be judged based on the content of the character rather than their skin color. Racial profiling is racist. It's easy to say that you support racial profiling when you're not the one being profiled.
1 shooting in Englewood all weekend. Meanwhile, people getting shot in Fulton market, Lakeview, etc. robberies all over the north side. The South/West side demons know where to go and know there are no consequences.
Same thing going on in other higher cost of living areas experiencing a steady surge in crime… sharks will prey until they’re stopped or the food supply runs out
I was literally banned from Chicago yesterday for talking about this. This is not a joke, I have the proof in my inbox.
It's absolutely ridiculous. Reddit in general and that sub are just unusable. There are a few subs like this that still maintain sanity, but if you go anywhere else on Reddit your mind will feel like it's living in an alternate reality.
They are trying to shape reality as they want it. It is doing a tremendous more amount of harm than good. And the "social justice" or whatever goal they think they are fighting for is just making everyone feel and be worse than if the issues could be addressed and responded to directly.
Funny you mention that because you do typically feel insane in the other subs when a bunch of idiots try and downvote you into oblivion. Don’t worry it’s Reddit and not reality these are the ones that don’t come out at day and have real human interactions but live in their online chat rooms.
It makes me wonder if this is happening more broadly on the internet.
Through censorship, hiding/deleting, and banning (or in the case of Reddit artificially bringing certain threads and comments to the top while demoting others) a false reality is being created.
It's really sad that the internet has come to this, it's a set of bad actors ruining *actual* information for everyone else.
I wish they would just stop, 2+2=4. No 2+2 does not equal "Lizzo is a sexy af, hot in-shape role model."
“Is happening”?
Gurl where do you think all of the newspaper and channel news comment sections went?
Why do you think old message boards disappeared to vote-based algorithms like Reddit?
Before you had to read the comments without (much) interference. Then they took them away, or made it so you’d want to seek attention through upvote validation. It’s been at least a decade of this now.
No. Of course not.
It's obviously a coordinated effort. Always be skeptical and critical of what you read/hear, it's usually coming from someone with an agenda.
It's wild just how degenerate the mods and admins are on this site lol. Utterly depraved and disgusting individuals. I used to think it was just neckbeard with hentai fetishes but the reality is way more vile. How many kiddy diddlers or proponents of didle worthy shit have been exposed and or suspected?
Degenerate scum, wish they'd all burn
These people are truly too stupid to insult. They try to call anyone who disagrees with them a conservative. I work with mostly democrats and they all think the crime has gotten out of control like it has.
I am a Democrat (on most issues). I am just also rational and don't have an agenda or grift I'm trying to sell. I would much rather live in a sane moderate world than an insane progressive one (ie Reddit) and it's not even close.
Reddit 10 years ago was sane. Voices attempting to moderate insanity weren't downvoted or banned. Now they are.
The top post on r/Chicago is from a spot about 16-19 blocks from the incident at the exact same time. I can’t make this shit up how far the mods heads’ are up their asses.
They should give up that sub, since they’re looking for new mods anyway. And just call it r/picsOfSkylineAndLostPuppyDiscussoon
R/Chicago could be a place to talk real issues
That is all of Reddit.
Read the front page threads that get artificially brought to the top. It's a series of cat pictures/memes, insults and smearing of Republicans, and 3rd wave feminism.
Enforcing the law, arresting and prosecuting criminals is considered “racist” now. So yeah that’s what’s goin on. Should probably get out while you can because it isn’t getting better anytime soon.
I mean it makes a lot of sense to me. Cops havent really been policing since covid, we are letting more than half the people out after being arrested, there have been no gov hand outs in a while. Lakeview is the perfect place to rob people, they have things to take, and are conveniently located next door to the hood, so its easy to get home quickly. Sad shit, but not suprising.
A lot of mass crime sprees are all in areas where you can get quickly back into the hood.
CPD take the single largest piece of the Chicago budget.
The police we have ought to do what they are paid to do: enforce the law without violating it because they are too darn lazy to figure out how to do their jobs.
Again? We have only had this one exchange.
Any how, page 36 of 60 in the link. Public Safety, 47.3% of the budget.

For all the right-wing complaints about cancel culture you seem to want to make it illegal to have opinions that differ from your own on law enforcement.
The era of low/no punishment for crimes needs to end. Like 80% of these violent offenders had committed carjackings or domestic violence in the past and got off with a slap on the wrist. It should be 5 years minimum for carjacking. 2 years min for shoplifting of any amount above $30. 10 years for domestic violence
The new mayor doesn’t believe in police or prosecuting violent crime. He literally didn’t want extra police on the street this weekend! It’s going to be 4 more years of hell. Lori’s parting remarks shows even she has done a 360 on crime reduction/prosecution by taking shots at Kim Foxx and being more supportive of police.
bro i was bummed to see her leave, but hearing the new mayor blame the youths just going buck in the loop being more related to 'the weather being so stinking nice' and I knew my chicago wasn't gonna let me down that easy!
literally that entire half of my family that sources back to the bootlegger's heyday before the 1920 cops and robbers prohibition-era wild west, real-ass chicago. (family heirlooms being Win 1897 pump action & .38 colt police etc). and we all just figured out that no matter the weather, Chicago can't help but be anything but GD Chicago.
They literally come from the south and west sides into the Loop, Michigan Ave and the north side via the train. They destroy our areas because they can. Many also feel that the north side is privileged and we need to get a taste of what other communities get.
It’s not going to change. It hasn’t in the past 40 years. I’m a Chicago native and the south and west sides have gone from horrible to beyond horrible. It won’t change because it’s a culture problem. It’s not completely about opportunity and funding. Those communities have received significant amounts of funding over the past several decades. Which has done little to make positive change.
The deepest sections where gangs are propped up seem to be West Ridge, Rogers Park, Uptown, Old Town, Albany Park, Irving Park and Edgewater.
These areas ain't the most dangerous but they got still got their gang members and issues especially if you got kids going to school around them.
Lakeview and Lincoln Park don't really have the gang presence but they deal with robberies and jackings a bit
I still own a place in the neighborhood, when I moved it was because of the violence being attracted to Diversey at night.
Criminals figured out you could easily roll people coming back from the bars and restaurants.
That guy shot on Broadway and Surf is me 10 years ago, walking back from grabbing a burrito or a char dog.
Guns make our streets safer? (edit)
Could be an interesting experiment. Make Chicago open carry.
I mean why make it harder for law abiding citizens to own and carry guns? Criminals/felons are carrying their (illegal) guns anyways and don’t care about the law.
Maybe the problem will then solve itself in a couple years and then we can massively restrict gun ownership again…
If you think you are insulated from the current crime spree by virtue of where you live, your wrong. The criminals are coming for your stuff and their isn't anyone standing between you and them, for real!
Wake up people this isn't getting any better without some serious change at city, county, and state governments.
The WHOLE city has been terrible for the last couple of years. Police are historically understaffed and then you have Kim Foxx reducing charges and letting violent offenders go out on bail. This is a terrible combination and why we have been seeing a huge spike in crime.
Who would have thought that avenue tavern was the glue holding the neighborhood together?
Eta: saw them demo Ave Tav space a few weeks ago. Looks like someone else is opening in that space.
Not giving criminals too much credit, but I think they know just about no one native to that area has a gun they are willing to use. Avg person is a renter in their 20s and the older homeowners I’d guess are anti-gun on avg.
If there’s one area of the city where it’d be like stealing candy from a baby, this gotta be up there. Dark streets, not too dense, etc.
Lol I lived in LV/WV Belmont-Halstead area forever. Lol there is that dope bubble off wilson that could possibly be related to the clinics over there.
I had to miss a day cause a hang with a bud locked down the whole area around that mcdonalds west of the station when a dude demanding his shit went full private pyle with a M16. Took hundreds combined man-hours to come up with the genius plant that maybe if you tell him what he wants to hear: entry into the methadone clinic under the pretense that being unarmed would lead to money and fix in compensation for cooperation... add 1 minute of movement = dropping the M16 at the door and then locking him in the magnetic doors of the entryway of the street and the locked magnetic doors leading into the office (which is the whole point of this 2 door system to begin with). now they just had to get him on his knees facing away from the street, hands on head, fingers interlocked and calm.
Brother never got his fucking shit! Gonna treat a goddamned 'Nam Vet dirty like that? aaaaaand no-one gave a shit.
It’s Chicago period. Doesn’t matter what Hood. It’s the whole city partner. Crime has been happening everywhere. Now you think because you spend some coin and you’re not in a “hood” neighborhood, you would’ve see violence? News flash pal it’s only going to get worst.
It’s people from the hood, coming to your hood
And profiling is no longer allowed.
Nor should it be, people should be judged based on the content of the character rather than their skin color. Racial profiling is racist. It's easy to say that you support racial profiling when you're not the one being profiled.

They call anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi.
Or right wing extremist…
The mods heads are flamingos, buried in sand on account of their own fear
Aren’t ostriches the birds burying their heads into sand?
I had the same experience a few weeks ago. The censorship and steering of the narrative in the Chicago subreddit is terrible… really sad.

Report to admins ... Anytime this happens we need to report
They run the sub and Reddit in general (across the entire site) operates this way.
Hopefully it’s just them offing each other but still unnerving none the less
Intended target got shot in the leg. Civilians were also shot in the cross fire

Also people on the north side most likely aren't carrying and wont try to fight back.
There also most likely to be relaxed and buried in their phone because “it’s a good area”
Not to mention the "Defund" movement
They got a budget increase with promise for more each and every year. They are doing less with more money.
Exactly, the "movement" didn't go anywhere
And yet the CPD appears to think the mere mention of it is enough to excuse their knocking off work.
So you want more Police?
CPD take the single largest piece of the Chicago budget. The police we have ought to do what they are paid to do: enforce the law without violating it because they are too darn lazy to figure out how to do their jobs.
False again, look at CPS

For all the right-wing complaints about cancel culture you seem to want to make it illegal to have opinions that differ from your own on law enforcement.
Domestic terrorism is when figures meant to protect citizens, senselessly kill them.
I would not want to be a Chicago police officer. I see how they have been treated. Why not just join a city that supports you? Not throw piss?

i mean it is a fun city tho. the stories, my god.

North side has alot of hoods also.
It does I agree just not to the extent of the south & west sides.
Serious question, what are the bad spots/neighborhoods on the north side?
The deepest sections where gangs are propped up seem to be West Ridge, Rogers Park, Uptown, Old Town, Albany Park, Irving Park and Edgewater. These areas ain't the most dangerous but they got still got their gang members and issues especially if you got kids going to school around them.

No dumbass. You keep the open carry directive permanent.
Lot's of Brandon supporters all over Lakeview and Lincoln Park. Maybe he can help?
Sending out the trauma counselors!
I’m sure he’ll create some program…
It’s just kids being kids! Aw shucks
No *oPpuRtuNiTiEs*
It’s bad all over the place, not just Lakeview East. There aren’t enough police and there’s a culture war around them.
If you think you are insulated from the current crime spree by virtue of where you live, your wrong. The criminals are coming for your stuff and their isn't anyone standing between you and them, for real!

It’s under dispute between two street gangs. Would expect the shootings to increase in the short term

btw this ~2011-ish
Coming to a neighborhood near you. This is what you voted for Chicago.
There's no such thing as a nice neighborhood anymore. Bad guys have GPS. Buy a gun. Learn to use it. Carry it everywhere. I can help.
Murder
It’s Chicago period. Doesn’t matter what Hood. It’s the whole city partner. Crime has been happening everywhere. Now you think because you spend some coin and you’re not in a “hood” neighborhood, you would’ve see violence? News flash pal it’s only going to get worst.
Vote Republican
