This is getting ridiculous. We can't go out in the morning and 8am is not early morning, and we can't go out at night. When is it safe to go out and not be a victim of black crime? It seems like the only occupation blacks have is criminal.
ReplyDeleteIt's in their DNA. We acknowledge physical differences to the extent that blacks are held up as "super athletes" but refuse to acknowledge more obvious mental differences.
ReplyDeletesuspect described as clean shaven, articulate, and able to read a teleprompter.
ReplyDeleteif you google 'eructus walks amongst us' you will find a body of work, in downloadable PDF form, easily distributed / shared with loved ones this holiday season. Best of all, it's free.
ReplyDeleteSo the comments about the blacks isn't going to solve anything.
ReplyDeleteThe question is....what is your city (with these taxes, fees and out-of-whack housing prices), your police, the "Alderman" (who's office is located basically right next door to this Subway), the businesses raking in our $$ (that could care less about our safety) doing about this? Other than food for myself at the grocery store, food for my dog and getting my haircut, I have boycotted all other businesses.
The only solution I see at this time to at least cut-down on the crime is to shut that Red Line down at 9:00pm. I have no use for it after 6:00. Bus service capacity can be increased with a special pass stamped by employers that those using it are coming/going to work.
And while many in the "neighbor"hood are content in thinking that "crime slows down during the winter", I disagree. I've been in Chicago long enough to know that around the Holidays is when it's rampant.
ReplyDelete$2000 in a subway? with subs only costing $2? this sounds like some bs - the crook probably only got $60 and the towel-head owner took the rest.
ReplyDeleteBoth the first and second posters are profoundly ignorant! PERIOD. Ok to the first poster you should ask yourself when is safe to go out and not be a victim a crime itself...race should and isn't the factor! Also DNA has nothing to do with it...that's the problem with Lakeview to busy trying to judge people based on color of their skin when Crime has no race or gender it's just CRIME! WAKE UP!
ReplyDeleteInstead of judging the crime you should be talking to the alderman in your area to help stop the crimes happening in your area.
Blacks also "judge" the Whites in Lakeview. Blacks also "judge" the Whites in the Loop. Gays also "judge" other gays in Lakeview. (I wasn't one of the "ignorant" posters you referred to above but am one of the others). Quite frankly, I think you're ignorant if you're blind to the fact that this is 98% black-on-white. Unfortunately, race IS a factor in these crimes but I left that aside for sake of argument - until now.
ReplyDeleteAnd the "towel head" comment probably came from a gay person or a Chicago native.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 7:21, you are profoundly ignorant and naive. Go back to your unicorn and pony world were all black people act like Oprah and Obama. I do hope that you become a victim of one of these outstanding black citizens and see how you feel after a vicious attack. For many of us on this site, we have been attacked by these animals more than once.
ReplyDeleteWe need to rid ourselves of niggers. They are a subhuman species.
ReplyDeleteThe description of the Subway robber fits the North Center home invasion shooter.
ReplyDeleteWell of course he was BLACK
ReplyDeleteShut down the "Red Line" after 9pm. are you crazy????? Oh so we're supposed to stop our whole live because these jiggaboos continue to rob us? I dont think so. Hey guess what, Im a white female and if some clown tries to mess with me on the red line or somewhere else, I GUARENTEE YOU I WILL MAKE NATIONAL NEWS!!!! Vigilante justice!!!! More whites need to try it!!!
ReplyDeleteI apologize for my mispellings above its "guarantee" and "lives". So sorry. I know you English majors will be after me far more than the ghetto thugs.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 10:35 - they just want a piece of your a**. They're trying to kill "us". Call your Daddy in Iowa. My sister is kicking my ass for moving to this cesspool daily. I'm sure he's doing the same for you. PSU grad?
ReplyDeleteIve lived in Chicago all my life, just in nicer neighborhoods. Why would I have to call my daddy? I dont need him.
ReplyDeleteI live in a "nicer" neighborhood too. You had one going ape-shit crazay tonight confronting, ahem, WORKERS getting off the bus at LSD/Belmont. About 6'6", late 40's/50 yelling "Whatcha' gonna do, what y'all gon dun DO?!!!". Staggering/swaggering across the street, blocking traffic and "us". They need 24/7 police at that corner at this point.
ReplyDeleteLease is up in 2 months (praise the Lord above). And people are paying upwards of $1800 for a 1 bedroom right at that corner (got the granite countertops and the nastay store below and Thelonius to welcome you when coming home from work).
This is a pitiful, hellish place to "live".
WOW, so glad I don't live in Chicago anymore! Not with all these Blacks hanging out in the North side robbing and causing problems. Pretty sad that the Gorillas in Lincoln Park zoo probably have better manners and a higher IQ than them! Chicago needs to segregate again-- White in the North and Blacks in the South.
