(Definitely some Political Madness)
Here's a comparative map since 2014 of shootings in Chicago compared to Police-involved shootings.

Do you feel lied to yet?
Who would ever think that we need to "Defund the Police" after seeing this?

Plenty of great places in illinois. One good feature of illinois is some of the great public parks that are available. Sure, the south side of chicago is a sh!thole that most politicians try to avoid addressing. It's a sad state of affairs when illinois has high taxes, is indebt, and still cannot figuare out how to use that tax money to reduce crime.
But, politicians will have to address it as some point. People in Chicago are becoming fed up. As crime is leaking into the city of chicago, and people can't just leave the southside in exile any more.
Some big initiative with leaders in the black community and poltiicans will have to take place. But that will have to take funds a way from rich Chicago areas to be put into the poor southside communities. And polticians know that doing so won't help their future elections as poor people aren't going to be donating to campaigns.

The entire state and Chicago in particular, is a sh**hole. If you live there and have hopes that some day it'll get better....good luck. You're gonna need it.
They should have a sign that reads "Now Entering Illinois, Abandon All Hope"
