The Chicago Protesting Thread

[beenz]

nikkas are loading up their cars at walmart now as we speak on 83rd.

 

[So-Chi]

I'm reading they are looting jewel on 75th and stoney and home depot on 87th and dan ryan

I'm going to get yet another gun... After yesterday there is NO way those places aren't protected ESPECIALLY with them hitting that area yesterday.

 

[Macallik86]

Yeah... My issue is still there was zero plan. She isn't the mayor of Downtown, she's the mayor of Chicago. You can't even get downtown without issue unless you work there... And it's still a process. What's the plan for the rest of the city with no bridges to raise? How does the south side sleep as well as someone that lives in the Trump building. White people got shyt hit, yes.... But it's obvious what the priority is.

Let's say you're the mayor and there is widespread looting on your city with a limited # of cops. How would you determine which areas to protect the most? Obviously you aren't going to choose to protect one race and ignore the others, so let's look at other options:

Economic impact?
# of business?
Taxes generated for the city?
# of people in that area per day?
Business per capita?
People per capita?

I really am curious decision you would make and how it would be vastly different from what happened.

Bro if you don’t shut yo hoe as up...you ways trying to expose someone for some damn reason. My point was they kept the white/ touristy area protected overnight, leaving the rest of the city burn and still burn. Ain’t shyt reflective about Chicago mayor saying fukk the rest of the area

nikka YOU SOUND STUPID AS fukk.

THESE ARE GROWN ASS ADULTS
WHO DECIDED TO fukk UP THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES
AND YOU DEFLECTING.

Who gives a fukk who did it, stop it from being done is the responsibility of the fukking mayor. You sound like you always do, over angry with no answers. What fukking point are you trying to make, fukk that it happened and the whole city deserves it? fukk outta here..

there are no gun stores in the city limits. unless they tried to hit up chuck's out in riverdale. that place is pretty fortified though.

Lift the bridges, divide available police equally over each area determined by population vs viable needs, grocery stores/ big box stores sure to be targeted, use social media to determine next movements for looters (shyt we all knew where they were going next, how could the police not?) all for starters. I don't have all the answers because I don't know all that is capable as I didn't run for office. It's one thing to prioritize and another to ignore..

 

[@OffHalsted]

Farrakhan looking suspect he hasn't said a word

Go watch any of his old Lectures...He been around for plenty of Riots

 

[Originalman]

fukk them. they destroyed businesses. they fukked up people's jobs, they destroyed the community. whatever happens to them, they deserve. they fukked over all the people who live in this community.

Breh just like the 60s riots they gonna look at this as a turning point for the decrease in black population in the city and loss of black wealth. It is sooo fukked up.

Idiots not from Chicago don't understand that the reason for many empty lots on the south side and westside is because those are places where stores were destroyed during the 60s riots. Those places have never came back economically.

I have to check the tweet. I thought it mentioned a gun shop. Maybe they said pawn shop and guns were stolen out if it.

There was a line of nikkas outside Chuck's this morning... Chuck's is GOOD

Chicago was already being deindustrialized and there was already disinvestment in the black community. The riots just sped up the process.

Thanks to the condos and highrises, the city is more densely populated in richer areas and so, distributing resources based on population would've had you sending the majority of police up north. I'm guessing viable need is suggesting to send police to areas being looted but that is a lagging indicator... it is determined after the fact so can't be used until it's too late.

Another point is how widespread it was. BeanieMac touched on it in the official Chicago thread:

I just drove down 95th to get gas. had to go all the way to oak lawn. anyways, on 95th and halsted, they broke into the big beauty supply store. I seen a nikka pull over with a suitcase to fill his shyt up.

on 95th and ashland, they broke into walgreens and the liquor store.

on 95th and leavitt, they broke into the fur store

on 95th and princeton, I seen nikkas looting a liquor store

95th and perry, nikkas looting the family dollar

87th and king drive, they looting the other family dollar.

That is 6 completely unrelated instances on the the same street. How many officers do you send to each individual location to ensure that they don't get overpowered plus they regain control? What about other popular streets? What about other south-side neighborhoods?

This shyt was a lose/lose situation for any mayor in power.
