Chicago Crime Tracking Thread

[FocusedDaily]

Okay explain why they don’t? Don’t just make a statement without supporting what you’re saying.

obviousy NY and CA are stricter.

edit- man what the fukk are you even talking about? Illinois is consistently listed among the states with the strictest gun laws.

Strictest Gun Laws by State 2021


You need to do your research. I have a gun and CCW btw.

I live in Chicago, I have plenty of guns. It used to be completely illegal to own a gun in Chicago city limits if you weren't law or security, before the ruling.

Now A gun card costs $10, as long as you can come up with that, pass a background check and wait a couple day you can get a gun.
I'm not clicking whatever link you posted, just because you can't wander in off the street and walk out same day with an AR like you can in Arizona, or can't open carry doesn't really make much of a difference in reality.

If you live in Chicago, and are not a felon, you can buy gun outside of the city limits and bring it into the city to keep in your home with ZERO problems now.
Having to first get a license from the state, and not allowing gun sales within city limits aren't the gigantic hurdles folks who don't live here want to pretend they are.
I got my card online, buy guns online, and pick them up from a FFL 1 block outside the city limits. It's been a free for all since the gun ban was lifted.

Concealed carry cards are the only thing were they require actual classroom instruction and range training, which I think is the best way to handle it.

stopped reading here. I countered your point and you choose to not acknowledge it. Cmon breh that’s not even what adults do. Multiple sources indicate Illinois has strict gun laws relative to other states.

Have a nice day Fam. I’m trying to make some more bread on these stocks.

100%. It's not a conversation a lot of us want to have but it's needed.

I agree. I can't even have the convo with folks. They'd rather blame the system. Even if the system ends today....then what? White people apologize or leave. Does crime go down? How long do we wait to move past this trauma? Will we then fix our schools? I find more people asking to fix our schools rather than us fixing our schools.

I was just looking at an article about a little girl who was shot and killed in crossfire in another city.

Sometimes, I don’t even know what to say.

How About RIP

 

[EndDomination]

hmm... so the homeless should be the most violent Can't really get lower than homeless. Skid row in LA and SF should have the most police presence. Gang Wars, they should be doing carjackings. Same thing with West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama.

That’s not how crime, violence, and poverty work.

Stop giving these nikkaa excuses. They don't giving a fukk about none of the shyt you talking about and will blow your head off. We can talk about the bigger picture later but right now parents ain't shyt and kids out here robbing people. Blaming others ain't the move. Start at the base then get at the source. They know the difference between right and wrong. They are targeting people. No amount of blaming white people will absolve these bytch ass nikkas

Don't try that blame white people shyt with me. nikkas think it's a free for all robbing people that look like me, you, your momma and your granny but you still on THE WHITE MAN MADE THEM DO IT. Stop making excuses for this bullshyt behavior

damn you a real ass poster!!! you reppin the chi? detroit?

 

[Be Strong Blackman]

When did I say the "white man made them do it?"

Here's the thing: systemic conditions exist alongside individual decision-making. One does not absolve the other, but they both work in tandem to produce the violence. I criticise local, state, and federal government policies that exacerbate the issues - and I also work with (when I have the time) local Black youth organizations, the Boys & Girls Club, and local community political groups.

I'm not "making excuses," I'm pointing out there's more than one dimension to this issue. I grew up in a Cleveland neighborhood with constant gun violence, so I understand both sides of the issue.

what's the solution?

Damn dude was legit. I feel you though. I'm in the burbs. Harvey and Chicago Heights gon look like little Mexico in the next 5 to 10 years. I was on the 349, 364 or some shyt and thought "Where did these Mexicans come from?" High key they got Ed Miniat and most of them warehouses over there on lock that's why nikkas can't get in. Supervisors can barely speak English. If you cool you cool, if you not

It's a whole demo switch happening

My mother lives in Harvey.

She's happy them Mexicans moving in.
Said one Mexican man has been buying up a number of broken down homes in the neighborhood.

He fixes them up, and then moves his people in.

Last time I talked to her there were a few of them working on her garage.
Said his price was like 1/4th of what she was being quoted from other folks.

Chicago isnt strict in the sense that getting caught w/ an illegal gun isnt the biggest of deals for a criminal.

Its pretty lawless here...
...weve gotten a little too liberal on that front.

 

[Be Strong Blackman]

Dumb m’fer. I see why people in here come at you like they do. No more benefit of the doubt from me.

 

[THASTUNNA]

They all about that "Get back"

 

[Biscayne]

How About RIP

That’s not enough. I wanna say more, but don’t know if it’ll come out right. RIP is what you say when a celebrity dies. But when a little 6yr old girl gets killed by stray bullets? Anger and frustration and sadness creeps in.

Already posted several times, look at my previous posts.

It guarantees an enhancement on state and federal charges, is a class 4 felony on its own, and is an immediate parole/probation violation.

Both

like pretty much half my grandmothers family on my dads side.

A lot of Black families have been in the Central neighborhood for decades - it's still 99% Black like it was during segregation too.

Found out my girl's family lived out there too - rest of them are in Georgia and Florida.
