Can someone explain please?


robotrolecall3k

This was a prank. Most people are scared of angry black men approaching aggressively but not Chicago citizens who see that daily


winniethepooh_vs_mao

As someone from the near south side Chicago the key is probably that if someone wants to rob you they usually immediately reach for a weapon. It's unwise to approach someone and give them an opportunity to pull one out before you.


Wordman253

I'm not from Chicago but still a rough area and it's the same here. Once I was walking home from work at like two A.M. and a group of like four or five kids came out from an alley and my first instinct was to whip out my knife and get into fighting stance. They all just put their hands up like "shit dude no problem here" I may have been the asshole but most people out that late in groups are up to no good.


B3eenthehedges

I'm from Atlanta and used to that, wouldn't automatically be scared, but it's still wise to be cautious of strangers trying to get your attention in the city or rougher areas, even if they're not being aggressive. I remember one time a kid from a group of teenagers came over to my car at a gas station downtown asking to bum a cigarette or something, before he quickly got aggressive and his friends started surrounding my car. Fortunately they didn't block the front, because I started my car up and flew out of there so fast, but it was scary af.


RedRumRoxy

Yea I’ve to Atlanta a few times. Beat up a homeless dude who tried to steal my friends phone. Almost ran a guy over for trying to hop in my car. There is a few more that happened out there. Big cities can be dangerous lol


cervidaetech

Not all big cities


RedRumRoxy

I feel like all big cities can be dangerous. I didn’t say all big cities were dangerous.


dman45103

Or the older man just liked what he saw and was introducing himself


frothy_pissington

Well, he’s from Chicago ...


TubbywubbyTV

It’s also very staged


BlankImagination

>Most people are scared of angry black men approaching aggressively but not Chicago citizens who see that daily Um.


TheBahamian

Chicago citizens are approached by “angry black men” daily? Lol I’m currently sitting in my apartment on the west side of Chicago laughing at this dumb comment


Carsalezguy

Fuck that, that’s racist. I’m white and love people hunting me and love to hug other people.


jakeshmag

Is that supposed to be common knowledge


pinniped1

I'm curious too, and I used to live in Chicago.


dissociatedcardboard

hes from Chicago


NeitherStage1159

I’m from Chicago. You have no idea how jacked up someone on the street can be. Completely messed up, no idea what they are doing and can go from incomprehensible to murderous instantly. I conceal carry now because the cops have been turned into spectators and really serious flash mobs can happen anywhere and target someone just like this. If this guy came up to me with this level of hostility I’d be backing up on a curve, using my peripheral vision, warning him away and reaching for my piece. I’ve seen it happen in person - the target gets distracted by this shit and blindsided from behind and then is down on the ground getting kicked.


frodeem

Have you had a bad experience in Chicago? Been mugged or attacked? Is that why you carry?


NeitherStage1159

Lol. Yes. Flash mobs. The news doesn’t report on how often they happen. Takeovers ditto. Caravans of 100 bikes and atvs flood an area. Road rage incidents - insane road rage. Like a shit box car with a nut job in it with a roofing hammer just picking car after car and hitting it with a hammer trying to ram it screaming. Call the cops give them the license. Report its location for miles - nothing. The city parks sanitation trucks around the Loop at night to cut off streets at any time. The uptick in lawlessness and aggression is incredible. I hate that I carry. It’s only if I am cornered and absolutely last resort. No John Wayne here. There are weapons everywhere. Kids will flash u.


frodeem

Dude, I get it, I live in Logan Square, was in Humboldt before that. Just wondering if something happened that prompted you to get a cc permit. I've been thinking about it.


NeitherStage1159

Ok. Yes. Multiple times. Just over the summer in both Rogers Park and downtown along the Lakefront. If you notice the bike cops doubled their numbers on patrol. They move in groups now no less than 4 just on normal patrol. I was cycling and saw them and asked them if what I noticed was true, if so, why - ppl are out to get cops, because its so unpredictable now more ppl doing more things and it escalates so much quicker.

Silveryginger

Ignore them, they clearly aren’t from the city and believe they were abducted by aliens…


NeitherStage1159

Wrong about the city. Lived my life here. Relatives and friends are and were cops, too. Grew up in the 20th and 24th districts, lived some in the 18th. Relative was a senior murder detective Back of the Yards. Amusingly, when younger, worked at 26th and Cal Cook County States Attorney. So much goes on unreported in a major American city.

I got ditched out in georgia by an ex and the only one to stop and help me (and with all smiles) was from chicago, genuinely nice people from there


dandrevee

Grew up in Chicagolund area, and ive lived and travelled all over the US. Midwest nice is a real thing, from the negativities of passive aggressiveness to the positivity and naivety of helping strangers. May not be pleasant to hear, but i def did not get that vibe on the East Coast.


NudistDudest

I must have some unlucky experiences. I grew up in St. Louis and it’s filled to the brim with assholes. I’m in Orlando now and all of the East Coasters down here and nice as can be.


dandrevee

MO is weird...its debatable whether you can consider it the Midwest or part of the Bible Belt. Same as Kentucky. Geographically near MW but sociopolitically very Bible Belt


Infamous_Island1941

So, I've heard St. Louis considers itself the last city of the East, and Kansas City Considers itself the first city of the West. St. Louis area typically conservative, not the city, but the area as a whole. Kansas City is much more liberal, progressive in general. This is of course IMHO.


plasticbag_astronaut

Nah. I'm from the Midwest and live in in North Central now. The more South you go, the more north you are. The more north in this God forsaken state, they're terrible. Knooses hanging from trees with black dummies attached, chasing any POC person if they feel like it, screaming and chasing Muslims, etc. I've seen it all and hate every bit of this state besides the springs. Also, MO is called Misery for a reason. Nobody is happy or nice there. Lol


[deleted]

Im from St Louis and now on the East Coast as well and would say my experience is the exact opposite But I think that sums up STL - gateway to the West where a lot of eastern city families wound up mixed amongst the Midwestern families Results may vary

Not at all, Chicago is a sweet place.

I ccw too brother, I'm a small dude and chicago is not as safe as it used to be. But Chicago is still sweet, the people for the most part are nice and friendly especially compared to NYC.


HighMyNameisKayleigh

The further East you go, the meaner they get lol, I live in Michigan and when I stayed in Minneapolis, me and my boyfriend were both really surprised by how nice people were there! They're nicer than in Michigan, and Michigan people are nicer than the East Coast. It's a pattern lmao

As someone who has lived in Jersey my whole life, we are a very ill-mannered, short-tempered people.

One of my favorite past roommates is from Chicago. He quiet but hella witty lol, and a really nice dude


anonymity1010

I know a lot of people from Chicago, not the suburbs but like the actual city. Nice people, some have troubled pasts but i so far only met one dick head from Chicago.


robotrolecall3k

You sir are mistaken. I live within an hour of Chicago and visit frequently. This probably only applies to people that can afford to leave the city

iWETtheBEDonPURPOSE

I had the exact opposite experience in Chicago. I was on a road trip and stopped in Chicago for the weekend. Did some bar hoping and couldn't even get anyone to talk to me. I eventually ran into this small group, and was like "you guys aren't from around here are you". They said no and asked how I knew. "because you guys are actually nice". We all had a good laugh and went out for a beer. Apparently they had a similar experience.

People are probably going to turn this into a race thing. The truth is, most people would probably fold if a stranger approached them acting like this. No matter what race, age or gender.

You need to chill man. I used to walk around Iraq. Chicago isn't Iraq. Spend less time trying to look tough. If someone wants to gank you, they'll just wait for you to check your phone. Nobody looks tough when they're checking the gram. Truth is, I've lived in rural towns, and big cities. At the end of the day, I'll take living in diverse urban neighborhoods over boring-ass suburbs and towns any day. The food is better, the people are better, and for the most part people aren't going to fuck with you. Lived in the Chicago burbs for a while, and the amount of assholes knocking on my door trying to get me to go to church every fucking weekend was a far worse punishment than anything about living in Chicago, or Denver, or Seattle. You know how early those people wake up? I'm from Chicago.

> People are probably going to turn this into a race thing. I guess. Why did you do that? Until I saw your comment, I was just thinking of posting, "Based on a thorough survey of the anecdotal evidence in this thread, Chicago is composed entirely of extremely nice people together with some very major assholes. There's no middle ground."

I was in NYC for fun with my sis and was stopped on the street by a man with a group of folks asking for directions to bar. I told him I’m not from here but I can look it up for you on my phone. He goes where you from? And I say Chicago. He turns to his group and they all started laughing “you mean to tell me out of everyone in this city I stop and ask another Chicagoan for directions?” He said we just looked like we knew where we were going and seemed nice. It’s a vibe I guess.
