My parents believe that Chicago is basically Cadia when the planet broke based on their descriptions.
Yeah mine act like I get shot every time I walk out my front door
Tbh it just matters who your circle is and where you go. I’m from a quaint small nh town but grew up around bad people. My life is unbelievably messed up because even the police don’t believe the life I’ve lived… Like evil people and gangs are everywhere. Trust me they are everywhere and don’t have to fit any stereotype. I know criminals that push work for charities. And it kills me that I’m essentially voiceless. It took a huge toll on my life… I definitely have PTSD and no one believes anything I say. It honestly makes me suicidal.
Like I mean I’ve had people threaten to kill my family and shoot guns directly outside my house… I can’t respect this country anymore.
I’ve had these people call the cops on me… For no reason, just to get the cops to harass me. I know they’ve gotten people killed using this method. The people they call the cops on to harass eventually get pissed off at the cops and end up causing a confrontation till they are shot.
I think this is why you never saw bloods repping protests back in 2020. They just looted and blamed it on BLM.
Life sucks. Life really fucking sucks.
These people never let me have a real childhood.
I’m from small town VT just across the river, and while that hasn’t been my personal experience I absolutely have known people who have had that experience. Small town USA is unbelievably messed up, but everyone likes to act like its only in the cities. Felt like half my town was Section 8, and an actual full 10th of the population was from the county jail on furlough. Since I’ve left, violent crime/murder rate has gone up a lot and heavy drug use is rampant.
I’m sorry dude.
Visited this summer and had a wonderful time. The city is awesome in the summer and people are very friendly.
2022 Chicago population 2.6 million, homicides 630. Compared to my city, population 1.6 million, homicides 26. Yeah Chicago sounds awesome
Yeah, i bet you don’t have guns though. I’ll take my guns over my safety any day!
We loved visiting Chicago! Had a wonderful time!
Only people who buy this have never been to Chicago. I have, and it’s more of the monster than the dog for sure. I’d prefer to never go back.
I live in Chicago lmao. I take the red line regularly. I go allllllllllllllll around the city and have never once had a problem here. The only reason why you hear about crime or shootings as much as you do in the news is 1) because it’s already been sensationalized, and that sets the pattern, and 2) the entire Chicagoland area (including the suburbs, which get news stories blown up too) has a population of about 11.5 million people. Statistically for even a murder rate as low as Chicago’s is (and it’s not even in the top 20 most violent cities in the country), shit’s just going to happen.
