Anyone aiding and abetting these criminals by either allowing them to sleep in their home, or feed them is aiding a criminal.<br /><br /> Uptown has too many section 8 housing units that support gang activity-they are breaking the law and need to be evicted immediately. They are part of the problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301381958049254465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-15157981281217442072015-08-06T18:08:02.655-05:002015-08-06T18:08:02.655-05:00This very thing used to be mindboggling to me as w...This very thing used to be mindboggling to me as well. That for every and I do mean EVERY shooting, it is labeled as "Gang Related".. It feeds the agenda of the writer to help further create division among individuals and take away compassion for innocent lives. Ive seen stories where Infants were even wrote up to be part of gang activity. Until there is serious dialogue about profiling this will never change.REALIST773https://www.blogger.com/profile/13064260040915941589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-83645285979449348262015-08-05T22:07:34.437-05:002015-08-05T22:07:34.437-05:00The problem is this area has a large amount of peo...The problem is this area has a large amount of people who loiter. They hang out all day, drink beer, and buy drugs. Gangs are here because a drug market is here. The police need to crack down on the low level crimes. It worked in New York City. Many years ago Chicago had a Vagrancy Law that was enforced except for the old Madison skid row.americanlthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552038341174948310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-73794905164235281392015-08-04T12:37:16.650-05:002015-08-04T12:37:16.650-05:00Interesting how a 48 year old woman is involved in...Interesting how a 48 year old woman is involved in a gang. I did not realize so many middle age women were gangbangers in Chicago. Amazing how every incident in the area is always 'gang related'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-13661260502676703092015-08-04T09:11:40.953-05:002015-08-04T09:11:40.953-05:00Lianna, as you wrote, we *DO* seem to know how the...Lianna, as you wrote, we *DO* seem to know how the gangs got into the neighborhoods--and they've been here a good long while. But we don't have to "get used to it". YOU might be quite happy and content to have them conducting business next door to you and to be dodging their crossfire, but the rest of us don't have to be. As a matter of fact, the rest of us can do everything we can by all possible legal means to make the gangs' lives as miserable as they have made ours over the years, to the point where, as our dear (HA!!) retired alderman used to say, if they don't like living here, MOVE. We've got skin in the game. We have reason to make our neighborhoods better and safer. And if you don't like the program, give your one-month notice and find a place in a neighborhood that will be more friendly to your gang buddies--the gunfire can keep being your lullaby there.bear60640https://www.blogger.com/profile/04572732440461047198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-87863275210161402442015-08-03T22:44:42.619-05:002015-08-03T22:44:42.619-05:00We already did.
