I was born and raised in Chicago. When I went back home to visit my father as he was dying, some young girl got killed on Lake Shore Drive...prime real estate.
When police are ambushed and shot and killed, I can't really blame them for hesitating to visit certain areas.
The people who have created this mess have only themselves to blame. And they have managed to trap their mothers and fathers in houses they will never be able to sell. I know for a fact that a hard-working, respectable and decent elderly African-American couple living on the South Side of Chicago are petrified to go out at night. Their daughter was my dad's caregiver at a nursing home. Even she is afraid to go to Chicago.
Makes me sad because I love the city I grew up in.
they’ll never admit its their own fault..ever. They have a terrible inferiority complex...they go after the police who are trying to patrol these hellholes....its never gonna end.
Lived in Chicago many years ago, back in the days of mayor Daly. Knew the city like my home town. Very dangerous even back then. Can’t imagine what it is like now.
