We have 400 murders sure, but that's just in the black part of town! A man gets grazed in Bougieville and suddenly that 401st victim is a problem.
Exiled to Chicago from Detroit. We have a big gang problem. These killings & shootings are not domestic, but between hot head gang members. We have a strong mayor and I believe he will put a stop to this. He's trying to bring business to the downtown area, and it won't fly if people are shooting each other.
One thing about Chicago, when you call the police, not one cop car arrives, but about FIVE! They are quick response!

what I'm about to write is going to be considered racist....but the majority of these shootings are between black people [[and some latinos), and the sooner we can move the uneducated, poorer class blacks out of the city the better. When the Housing Dept tore down the projects [[Cabrini-Green, et al), the gangs holed up in the projects scattered to the nicer neighborhoods. Those were the nice neighborhoods of black residents who owned property.This is a problem of absentee landlords and slum landlords letting unknowns rent their apartments, charging Little rent, and too many guns.
You won't read it, but the President's neighborhood of Kenwood is also a war-zone for shootings.
