Immortan posted:Oh boy, we can't break up gangs too big to fail! Hahaha, that's the best response I've heard yet. Naw I think it was step in the right direction. The real answer probably lies in a very expensive, successful social program combined with some type of hard drug legalization/recovery scheme.

OctoberBlues posted:I don't know, I've been to downtown St. Louis way loving more than I have ever wanted to and like 5% of people at stop lights actually crossed before it turned green. It stands out amongst every city I've ever been to. And everyone was fat, like seriously, almost everyone. Oh I see. St. Louisans don't really go downtown. Those are people from the county who go for the sportball games. gently caress those assholes.

the best thing the US could do is ban most fire arms and start a gun registry, and magically in a generation gun violence and gun deaths will have dropped significantly like every other first world country has already done

ChesterJT posted:YTD Shot & Killed: 1404 (219killed/1185wounded) Lol, these other commenters are morons. Suspects have taken to running and shooting back at police. The sentences imposed here mean they will be out in 2-3 years if not given probation, so whats to lose by letting loose with the chopper (gun in white people speak). There are racist cops, we can only look to John Burge to prove that, just don't buy in to all the media's reports. The last fellow killed by a police officer here had many Facebook photos posing with guns, but instead his junior high graduation picture was used for national media. The outlets that picked it up here had no problem showing his gang affiliation.

Lime Tonics posted:Seriously though, what the gently caress is wrong with Chicago? People get REALLY ANGRY and then shoot at people to let off steam. Facebook feuds, revenge killings etc. That covers most of it. People are blown away like this every single day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECGCoo3Ogxg I once saw two guys selling water/flowers on a street corner and they both shouted "THIS IS MY @^@&@^$ CORNER!" So then one guy pulled out a knife and one guy smashed a beer bottle and scared the other guy off. That's the Chicago way.

dethkon posted:What's up with Chicago gangs? Did somebody important die or get locked up, and there's like a power vacuum? Are they fighting over heroin territory? Is there any kind of command structure at all, or is just America's Nightmare (children with guns)? No, there's no specific large dispute, GD/BD get tagged constantly but they're like brand names for smaller gangs. Small disputes and rivalries just continually boil over and it takes literally seconds to organize a few people to come with guns. There are constant solutions that you can come up with, but the city is broke as hell so every program ends up underfunded. Closing a bunch of schools and making young people commute a long distance for schooling didn't help anything.
