@DeAnn_BoilerRN@jacksonpCTU Plenty debate and perspectives to what created this environment and what is currently making it grow. The trajectory is at odds with any analysis of dollars invested into the school system, park district and other community programming. But regardless…
@DerpasaurusR@cmitown You are about 20x more likely to be killed living in Chicago than being military active duty. If you are a young black kid/man those numbers go up to 1000sx more likely.
@DerpasaurusR@cmitown Chicago had more homicides in 2021 than any other city in America, Europe, Oceana and Asia. There were about 3x more murders in Chicago in 2021 than US Military active duty KIAs in the last 10 years combined.
@DeAnn_BoilerRN@jacksonpCTU I don’t care what you do and how
Long you try to do it. There will always be some small portion of teens/young adults/adults that are looking for trouble. They need to punished and deterred. These kids weren’t otherwise going to the library.
@history_gf @chi_urbanist Less an a fraction of a percent of Chicago youths were there. Just pull your head out of your ass for one second and this is easy to solve.
@EndOfTheWake@QCompounding Think he understood it but there is something emotional in Charlie’s positions in china and the influence of Yew in the last 30 years of china development. Also pretty much any new Goethe position entered in mid 2021 looks nasty rn.
@dforan5@ronythebikeczar Give me a break. That’s the entire point. There isn’t a benign reason to shut loop avenues down and participating in a “wilding”.
@MJM_chibroker@StuLoren I worked in the loop 2007-2019. I never really saw anything and I worked many late Friday nights in the summer. I can honestly saw that from the Jackson blue line to western I never really saw anything.
@ronythebikeczar@urbenist What for? The kids knew what they were going to and knew exactly what would happen. Maybe interview the 100,000 Chicago kids who didn’t go and ask them what they did instead and why.
