First, no one is silent about gang crimes, those concerns don't make the press outside Chicago. I live in Chicago. Preacher talk about it, parent fear it and the mayor have spoken about it numerous times. I know, if it's on FOX or Tweeter or whatever you get your news it isn't happening Watch a Chicago newsfeed for a month. I can recognize crime scenes by the candles and notes of condolences left by people on that spot.Quote:

When this happens we pleaded to the government to stop this drug traffic into our communities, forty years later it is still coming in.
Some ask to legalize drugs and let the government control the distribution to addicts like Europe has done which led to their massive drop in drug crimes, violence, and gang warfare. And surprise, their children do use drugs at the rate ours do. Cause the government controls them not the punk on the corner. The same result with the Italian mafia when the government allows the legal selling of booze again. The level of teen usages of booze dropped. Nope
Forty some years we had to deal with this gang violence and killing and the burden to solve it is left to poor communities and cash strapped city government to solve. If you have any suggestions to solve the drug trafficking that leads to these high homicide rates let us know, but don't sit there and act like we are not concern about it or silent about it.
When we seek to solve the police aggressiveness we went straight to the government and protest they should do something about their employees. Constitutionally, we have this recourse. How do you confront violent lawless gang members with protest signs when they have guns and know your children and where you live? Which problem would you gravitate to first? Which is the low hanging fruit?
