I was back in Chicago a few ago and it broke my heart how much of a hellhole it turned into @swag but then i see something like this, gives me a glimmer of hope

Operation Self-Cleaning Oven

I seriously hear you. I was there a year ago and will probably be again next. The decline was shocking. The counties have put up the white flag and are resorting to legalized gambling to pay off police and fire pensions... resulting in a Bally's mega-casino being built in the Near North and every suburban coffee shop pitching "hot slots" of video gambling machines.

It's really halfway to a dystopian Blade Runner future there...

That can’t be real

There has to be a high correlation between spatial awareness and intelligence.

Or maybe I'm the dumb one for doing my grocery shopping at this time the week before Christmas
Asians are supposed to be smart but in my shopping experience they lack spatial awareness or maybe they just don't give a fuck and want me to push them

I'm not willing to stretch my neck out to go all racist too often, but this is one of those times.

And let's be clear: by Asians. we're mostly talking East rather than South.

Willing to bet it is, DA there don't even prosecute these shootings

Lori Lightfoot's face looks like she pulled back the curtain and gazed upon unspeakable cosmic horrors and it permanently scrambled her brain.

Weren't they trying to get federal covid bailouts to backstop the union pensions? Which are underfunded for reasons completely unrelated to covid?

Naive question but how does this not turn into cartel like orgs that pretty much take over the city?
Smart by the cops but I would recommend going in and finishing both remnants of the gangs after they have decimated each other.

Why? so they can pull off another Floyd? Chicago is a war zone and it's all thanks to dem politicians and DAs. I mean look at this guy below, dude is 32 already killed someone and got fucking released on parole, he looks really rehabbed killing unarmed people execution style. Only a fool would live in Chicago now

Warning very graphic
