As the sun set on Millennium Park a day after the extraordinary move by the mayor to limit teens’ access to the city’s premier outdoor space, a janitor quietly swept away the simple, stark memorial of tea lights that were arranged in the number “16.” The small white candles to commemorate a Chicago teenager who was shot and killed at The Bean were there for less than an hour as tourists walked by. After sweeping the lights that represented the teen’s age into his dustpan, the janitor said he didn’t know what they were even there for. Gun-violence memorials, while

He ignored his mother when told not to go to this 'party', and then picked a fight with another armed thug. In spite of all that, he was 'a good boy'.
The good mayor of Chicago wants to enact a curfew. It won't keep the thugs off the street, but the law abiders will follow it. It's a silent admission from the mayor that they cannot control crime.

How can a scrubby little raccoon control an uncontrollable city as Chicago?

We visited Millenium Park several years ago and took family pictures at The Bean. It is a rather pleasant
place. But the black gangs from the south side 'hoods frequent the park these days. If you go, don't go alone and unarmed. And stay away at night. Better yet just don't go at all.

Bug-eyed, black bulldyke just like the rest of those people. Can’t manage anything more difficult than a carjacking, but ready to blame Whitey.

"The availability of guns has put them all in danger." No, the danger comes from those who draw at the slightest provocation.

Yes, it would be a 'massive challenge' if they were actually taking it on. They don't seem to be making any sort of an effort, actually. Business as usual, massive numbers of mostly black on black shootings.

So many senseless deaths with zero White people involved. I have not watched local news in years because each broadcast begins with a reporter in front on an ER or crime scene.
Born in the city and I living nearby my whole life, I loved going downtown for all types of occasions. It's an absolutely beautiful city, clean with incredible museums and architecture. Friendly people where it was safe to walk the streets of the downtown at any time. When friends would visit we always looked forward to showing off our great city. Every person, every time, was impressed by the "small town" feel. Strangers never hesitated to talk to them and welcome them to the city and every visitor always had a wonderful experience.
No more. The good, friendly people are still there but they are moving out fast, my hardcore city loving friends included. It is unbelievably sad. It feels like a death in the family. Once again I have to thank God that my parents, Chicagoans to the core, are not here to see it.

It sounds to me like decent American culture is, or has been, displaced by Urban Thug Culture.
Urban Thug Culture is, as a study I read shows, very similar to Prison culture.

I echo the OP's comment Blood everywhere in Chicago but no white supremacists in sight. Whom can we blame?
The evidence is in the pictures.

Any decent person in this country has to look on the black murder rate as an appalling tragedy but bring up the stats and you will be called a racist or worse. The blacks I grew up with in the 40s and 50's were some of the best people I ever knew but the Dems have ruined that by keeping them on the welfare plantation and implying that they are too stupid to control themselves. Now we have a whole subculture of black people who have been told by the left that it's OK to steal and murder and that it's really not their fault. They have sown the wind and poor balck people are reaping the whirlwind.

That should provide Chicago a safe place to honor the Obama legacy.
