[Patrick Kane]

Chicago bout the same size as Toronto too

I just couldn't imagine constantly hearing about people being murdered day in and day out, multiple shootings every night. It's just so fukked up.

Wish I had more to add but it's truly heartbreaking to hear this.

Chicago, the third-largest city in the U.S., has experienced more homicides this year than the bigger cities of Los Angeles and New York combined, and nearly ten times as many as Toronto, which has a similar population.

The number of deaths here this year, 471, is about 50 per cent higher than the same period a year earlier. Nonfatal shootings have risen at a similar rate. More than 2,300 shootings have taken place so far this year, mostly on the South and West Sides and most of them involving African-Americans.

I've heard it mentioned that private militias are behind many of these murders and I'm starting to think that's totally plausible given Chicago's major problem with corrupt politics.

[Ol’Otis]

Chicago is a corrupt ass city and has been that way since the 1920s

you cant compare a city in a poor midwests state to cities in nyc and cali.

The midwest esp illinois is not a great place people of color to live.

One dead is a tragedy. A million dead is a statistic.

Are you gonna help do something about or keep giving worthless opinions and faux concern like those that will come in.

Ask yourself that question, before asking it of another man.

Furthermore, you're not the leader of men. You don't hold the authority to question anyone's actions, or lack thereof, in the first place.

Nor are you of any level of authority to judge anyone's level of concern. What you deem "faux concern" can be turned around on you and have you considered as a crab in the barrel c00n.

But just to entertain your juvenile delinquency: Are we not supposed to discuss things an a discussion forum?

Get over yourself with all that self righteous bullsh!t.

these older black men and women ( mid 30s, 40 and 50s ) nationwide has fukked up the youth of today....

they have failed as parents and it has trickle down to their kids doing dumb shyt today

i got home from work last night around 10 and i'm seeing young kids walking the streets getting into trouble and i'm like where is these lazy nikkas mom and pops

these black men and women don't care for their kids... i went to court to fight a ticket and all i saw was nikkas getting sentence with no parent in court with them...

nikkas always got an excuse or someone else to blame. There is an entire culture of young blacks rapping and glorifying murder but militias are behind the killings.

There is a lack of intelligence among our community, exhibit #1

 

[BlackFruitPunch]

But let's dab and get high

You forgot chase white bytches and shake our asses to music celebrating the death of young black men.
