Typical Chicago

Miami is almost as bad. Livin in the Keys I got all them TV stations and for the first 10 minutes it was all about how many people got killed that day. Depressing as hell.
Who willingly lives in such an environment? Ridiculous. And the most ridiculous part is the people who live there always expect the government to protect them, just like they have for the last 65 years.
When do they finally realize that the government has decided that in the name of political correctness, some are just gonna hafta die.
 
What's funny is like most cities, 95% of those things happen in the same 20 square blocks. There are places in Chicago that incredibly safe with a stupid-low violent crime rate (as there is in every city), but the news never differentiates.

That said....Chi-town has a problem, a bad problem...I have never liked the city and will likely never go back (I have been a few times).

Went to Miami ~2004 to buy a car for a project. Drove to Miami Beach thinking that's where the car was. The owner was fresh off the boat from Romania, and had zero clue where the shop was that had his car.
He lead us directly into the heart of the HOOD in Overtown, and even during the day, I felt very unsafe when I got out of the car to ask him WTF he was going. As soon as I got out of the car, there were 3 adult males approaching me from 3 angles from a block away. I did not have my concealed carry at the time, and did not even have a gun with us on this trip. I hurried back to the drivers seat where my pregnant wife was beside me and my 2 year old was in a car seat. We GTFO quick like, and found the car in the Cuban shop a few blocks away, hitched up and peeled out.

If I never go back to Miami proper, I won't ever miss a thing.
 
The last time that I was in Chicago was "about" 1995. I didn't leave anything there that I need to go back looking for.

I'd like to say that Chicago was a nice place to visit in 1995. But that would be a total lie. Chicago was a cesspool then,

just like it is NOW.

Miami is one of the roughest towns I've had to go to. It used to be quiet and easy going, until the Mariel boat lift.
Miami is an excellent case study of what happens when a Democratic President gets to bring in a bunch of dirt-bag illegals without question.

And the airport! (If you want folks to visit you, buy a house in the Florida Keys. :rolleyes:) So I always had to go to the Miami airport to pick up visitors. One wrong turn coming out of that place and you're in the hood. And it was easy to do since the thugs would rip down all the street signs and you had no idea where you were. Then they'd run up to your car and chuck a spark plug at the window shattering it. While you were stunned by a shattered window, before you knew it a gun was in your face robbing you. They were picking off the tourists so bad that Florida made a state law mandating rental cars look like all other cars.
And God forbid you had a night flight and had to drive through them areas in the dark...

Good thing I don't hafta do that anymore. I'm old and cranky now and don't give a crap. Shoot everything.

MSM will also completely ignore the obvious common factors that the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country have. Unfortunately for MSM, it's not lack of gun control laws.

The same MSM will tell you that America has a gun problem by comparing America to countries that have dramatically different racial demographics, such as Japan or Norway, instead of countries that are much closer in terms of demographics, like Brazil.

If you want to compare America's gun violence to Norway, a more valid comparison is to compare Vermont or Idaho or Montana to Norway. Including America's ultraviolent neighborhoods, which dramatically increase the meaningless national average (e.g., is the average of Michael Jordan's and Michael Moore's vertical leaps a meaningful figure?), to paint a picture of a violent America, and then lecturing law abiding gun owners about how they should give up their rights, is a despicable tactic.

The left wants a conversation about gun violence - fine, let's start by talking about exactly where the gun violence is concentrated. But that's not a conversation the left wants to have.

In all fairness the right doesn't want to have that conversation either. I haven't seen a Republican law maker come out with a statement of fact concerning the denographics and geography of gun violence. So nothing will change.
 
Chicago was a shithole when I was a kid in the '70's. To this day, I will take the long way 'round, vs. driving through.

Because they have been so cowed by the left's racism trump card. Since the left controls the MSM (and yes, even Fox plays along with much of PC culture and they only object to the most extreme leftist lunacy), GOP lawmakers know that anything that can be spun as racist (which includes *any* acknowledgement that there are differences between population groups, despite this being scientific fact - you won't hear Fox News talking about this) will be played in the news until their political career is dead and buried.

But that's ok, we don't need GOP lawmakers to say anything. We just need more Americans to wake up, and thanks to the internet and alternative media, this is happening.
 
Back in the old western days the town would get together and hire some guys to clean things up.
