Chicago on the brink

Clark Kramer
   Chicago is a city besieged by gang violence that resembles parts of South America and South Africa. The number of murders in cold January shot up seventy five percent and one shudders to what the numbers will be in July as this is a city on the verge of totaling collapsing and will be mirroring what we see in smaller cities. There were over 292 shooting victims in January all indicating murder attempts mostly in drug and gang plagued communities where sense of survival is more important that sense of community. There are no social get together in these neighborhoods that don't involve crack and liquor and these two mixtures leads to a community in crisis as thugs have little care for the social cohesion that is important for neighborhood connections. Chicago has long been a corrupt city where pandering to gangs and their establishment and networks has lead to a brutal bizarre city where people need to constantly check the streets and make sure they don't make a wrong turn. The federal authorities have long needed to occupy these streets and establish order against the menace to societies that plague these neighborhoods by these modern day pirates but Democratic political rule in urban centers avoids this and provides an outlets for criminal organizations to profit and thrive. Despite this violence street stops are down eighty percent as Chicago police are hesitant to make these stops under scrutiny of members of media blaming them for violence. the police in Chicago wanted to ake a piint to the world and the land of liberals by showing how light policing can increase murders and mayhem in the city of Chicago.
