That means there were legal adults in the group. Would that not up the possible charges? It also tells me these are well planned and organized and you can be sure those doing so have some $$$$.

“if it IS voter fraud and they don’t root it out”

I remember reading John Fund writing about voting fraud in the Wall Street Journal, 30-40 years ago. Long before the internet was around. He was always banging on about it, or so it seemed to me.

I dismissed his concerns as being overblown. Sure, you knew fraud went on in some Municipalities, but I kind of thought it was baked in the cake and probably didn’t affect anything about the super local level.

Then the Tea Party came along and some of those folks wanted to clean up the voter rolls. And then the Dems started screaming blue murder! That was when I realized that this wasn’t just something that happens sometimes and some places. This was their stock-in-trade.

But you are right, it is up to the people who live in these places to deal with this stuff. I’m sure there are plenty of attorneys of color or other smart people in those communities who could have a good effect on things.

It’s good to see these black parents rising up at the school board meetings. I mean, thank G-d really, that people in this country don’t take kindly to being told their children are stupid because they are black!

But that same level of involvement has to happen with election stuff. If only there were some political party that could challenge the Dems and hold them accountable!

Growing up, my Dad used to work on Jackson.

I worked at a Faber's store on Randolph, and also at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Wacker. I never had a crime fear, even at 1AM on Saturday (until I got back to m neighborhood in west Hyde Park).

As I’m sure you know its no secret chicago may be one of the if not THE most corrupt cities in America.

No telling what it would take to clean it up.....I don’t know how people live in a city so corrupt and violent.

I wouldn’t go there to throw up.

... there was a shooting at a high school in Orangeburg, SC. A local tv station interviewed a parent who stated “dis problem of violence aint on the parents or the chirren, its on the school and others.” I’m sure the parents of the “chirren” committing these crimes will have the same attitude. Until they take responsibility and teach their “chirren” how to behave in a civilized society nothing will change.

A respect for education would help, too. All Democrats are constantly screaming, "Black Lives Matter!" Ok, I agree. So since they brought up the topic, why are there repeated reports of wild gangs of Black teenagers cursing at and violently beating up their teachers in grade schools and high schools in urban centers throughout the U.S.? They have zero respect for their teachers, let alone any interest whatsoever in actually learning something.

As the Black comedian, Chris Rock, often said in his stand-up comedy routine: "N********s like ta keep it real .......................... real dumb." Of course, Chris Rock is allowed to state the obvious because he's Black. If anyone else said it, all Democrats would instantly and idiotically label it "racism." LOL. Chris Rock also frequently said, If you want to keep your money safe in the 'hood, just put it in between book pages on your bookshelf because "Books are kryptonite to n*********s." The moron Democrats can't claim any of that is "racist" because Chris Rock is Black (with a capital 'B', whatever that means).

Lack of respect for family structure. Zero religion. No respect for education or teachers. Those are three biggies right there. I could be wrong but if those three things are properly addressed, all those other bad things magically disappear. And it can only begin in the family itself. Politicians can't solve it. Neither can the police. Government is not the solution. It doesn't take a "village," Hilarious Clinton. It takes a family. Hey, Democrats, the U.S. is not a society based on the individual. It's a society based on the family. That's the core issue regarding Black crime. It's been going on for a half-century and will never change unless there's a return to the family. Period.

It’s such a shame!

My dad worked for Santa Fe.

SHOOT THEIR ARSES!!

“youngsters” Alex, “What is dark skinned gangs on the loose in Chicago?”

[Robert357]

I would not live in a state (or city) that did not allow concealed carry. The way things are going in large cities, everyone who can and is trained for it should get or lobby to get a concealed carry license.

If the government can’t protect you in Chicago,
what makes anyone think it can do that in Kabul?

[Mark was here]

People who annoy you? Democrats?

[roving]

[BiteYourSelf]

There is something missing from the descriptions, I wonder what it could be.🤔

[GOPJ]

Groups of roving white Methodists, right?

[GOPJ]

Why don’t they just speak the truth and say gang of young blacks?

If a reporter told the truth they'd be fired.

The press lies about race because they think it 'protects' blacks. It doesn't protect blacks - it doesn't protect the black community - it protects white liberal 'elites' and the power of the race card. Period.

“Teens”

[Trillian]

They can identify as adults too, according to their lack of logic.

[dsrtsage]

Teens...just carefree and on a lark. Just some kooky hijinks on the way to the malt shop. Teen is a time of innocence as young adults learn how become a productive member of society

Those residents who the means to do so—mostly downtown/near North, but ultimately across the city—have been fleeing since May of last year. The BLM riots started it, the unhindered acts of the Red Line Raiders have only been gasoline on the fire.
