Those were the day'sI am about 1 hour away in the burbs. Kid used to be 1 block from Wrigley, now lives in Lincoln Park, right by DePaul University.
The city absolutely sucks (and has been headed that way for more than 10 years). Went to a concert about this time last spring. Spend a whole lot of time planning routes, where to part, where to walk, etc. trying to stay safe. The next day there was one of those flash mobs that shut the streets down, damaged cars, beat people, etc. The exact block we were on the day before -- that could have been us caught in that mess.
When we go down to see the kid, have to keep your guard up. Just down the street from him there were several incidents. It seems they are working in threes plus a driver. Car pulls up, three dudes jump out rob, car jack, etc. Chit happens at all times of the day.
Two weeks ago, my foreman was carjacked at gun point in a home depot parking lot. Middle of the fkg day. Thug put a gun to his head. His wife too.
What I am completely disappointed and shocked about is none of these perps are getting popped Charles Bronson Death Wish style. The population has become wussified.
