At least once a week lately I'm reading something like this.
It's beginning to sound like the new Detroit.

That's why Obama and our governor want high speed rail between the two cities. Then they can be identical instead of just wanna-bes.....:ack2:

Detroit isn't the only place with problems. Chicago has had a youth gang shooting problem for a long time.

Chicago and several of the surrounding suburbs also have very repressive gun laws. See post about Comisky Park. Goes with the territory.

Well, that's seems to working out nicely.

Dem. state that is controlled by Daily, and now he has one of his boys in the Oval office. We'll be lucky to ever see concealed cary in this state. They talked about the 9 Military that got killed in Iraq over the forth of July like it was a big deal, but the 11 people that got killed in Chicago you barley heard about. I think about selling everything and living in a trailer on the side of a mountain from time to time.

Although several of the suburban cities have repealed their handgun laws, Chicago still clings to theirs. Like they say if you ban handguns for the honest people, then only the criminals will have them.
